Keys to Investing in Real Estate (Barron's Business Keys)

Rating:
Summary: An informative little book!
Review: This is a great book to start if you want to get into Real Estate Investing. The book is organized into 51 chapters/Keys that provide short but concise explanation of important real estate investing concepts. The discussions are to the point, succinct, and very easy to grasp. The points are put forward in such a straight forward manner that it is very easy to remember. Because of its small size, I've also found it to be a highly useful reference guide.

A few suggestions: Once you have grasped the concepts in this book, I would highly recommend Robert Campbell's book "Timing the Real Estate Market" to get a better sense of how the real estate market works. After that, Gary Eldred's book "Investing in Real Estate" to learn about negotiation techniques, financing options, finding deals etc. Finally, Andrew Tompos's "Analyzing Investment Properties" will give you an excellent knowledge on how to evaluate a real property by working through cash flow calculations etc.
