Summary: Back in the Saddle---Wade Cook is back!
Review: After taking a sabbatical from the seminar circuit and while writing a new, soon to be released book, Wade Cook NY Times best selling author is back.Cook plans a National Seminar Tour in 17 cities. The first was already held in Seattle, WA. IN VIEW OF SOME OF THE MISLEADING STATEMENTS MADE ABOUT MR. COOK. I COULDN'T RESIST POSTING THIS. I have been using Wade Cooks techniques since the 1980's. Real Estate Money Machine was the first book I ever bought by Wade and it has made me a ton of money. In 1996, I bought Wade's steller best seller Wall Street Money Machine, a book that was on the NY Times Best Selling List for 18 months! I used to be afraid of the stock market. Wade simplifies the process. I highly recommend both of these books. To fully appreciate what Mr. Cook is doing, check out his website www.wadecook.org. Get the facts, not the bull. Regarding lawsuits and other things written about Wade Cook. Lawsuits are a part of doing business. If you are wealthy and successfull, watch out, you have now become a target. Some people love to take (steal) what they can't get on there own. Welcome back Wade! I am looking forward to attending your seminar when it comes to my area.

Summary: It certaintly does pay to research the author
Review: And from what I found out about Mr. Cook is that he made a fortune in real estate and another fortune on Wall Street. Wade Cook pioneered, practically invented the concept of lease options. He was doing it before it became fashionable. Real Estate Money Machine is an outstanding book for those who want to learn how to cash flow the real estate market. Buy and hold is okay, but buy and make money today is even better. Not get rich quick, but definitely get richer quicker and turn cash flow rapidly. Wade's strategies are not theory, they work. This book is highly recommended for anyone who wants to make the most of their money as a real estate investor. Regarding that supposed authority who slammed Wade. She slams everyone. Is nicknamed "The Queen of Smear." Of course the only people she goes after are best selling authors. Why? Probably because nobody ever buys her books. Her newspaper column was cancelled over two years ago and since Suze Orman came along, JBQ has all but dissappeared. No website and she needs a dorky self publisher to do allo f her talking for her. Just wanted to let you know what you are dealing with. That said, WADE is controversial and investing is not for everyone. Some people just on't get that. You can't buy a book and expect magical things to happen. It takes effort. Wade explains that but unfortunately some people miss that very important point. Along with Real Estate Money Machine I also recommend How To Pick Up Foreclosures and 101 Ways to Buy Real Estate Without Cash both by Wade.

Summary: Powerful advice! Ignore paid bashers
Review: As Wade is so fond of saying, "To Whom Are You Listening To?" To which I will add, do you want to listen to some paid bashers or to a millionaire like Wade Cook? Wade was the first to tout lease purchases via his money machine concepts back in the 80's. His advice works. I know because I have used it.

Summary: More applicable now than ever
Review: Considering all of the downsizing that has been going on, now is the best time to use these techniques. Consider this: One of the best selling real estate books right now, published in 2001, is teachng the same techniques with one difference--Real Estate Money Machine is even better.

Summary: A Good Basic Book.......
Review: I am a real estate agent/investor. I found that the book contained a lot of information that is out dated, specifically non-qualifying assumable loans (they stopped being assumable in 1987). I did however, appreciate the information about incorporating and the tax breaks associated with selling and holding the mortgage. I was looking for a book with more meat, more detail, but this a basic real estate investment book.

Summary: Excellent book, easy reading and very informative.
Review: I bought the book one Friday evening. Started reading it at 9:30 read until 2:00 the next morning, went to bed, got up and finished it the next morning. A total of 8 hours to read it. I couldn't put it down. I am currently a real estate investor and learned a lot prior to "Real Estate Money Machine". This book made me take a look at how I was investing and changed my thoughts and actions. I want to be the bank and not go to the bank. My cash flow will improve dramatically. Thanks Wade.

Summary: It pays to research the critics too
Review: I have to laugh when I see reviews like the one posted several reviews beneath this one suggesting to research the author and listing a news-magazine reporter as the reference. This reporter had her newspaper column (a failed financial column)cancelled several years ago due to a lack of interest and her articles in Newsweak are appearing less and less frequently as well. As best I know, JBQ, the reporter has never been nor is is now a real estate investor, stock investor or a successful businessperson in anything. She is a writer. And oh by the way, was it just a coincidence that Wade Cook is also a best selling author and had his books published by Simon & Shuster (who published Quinn's last book) before starting his own publishing company? Real Estate Money Machine is a quality book. All real investors know this and are using these techniques. Of course reporters who are only schooled in reporting (mostly gutter trash on successful business people) have no knowledge or real experience in real estate investing. So why would you even consider listening to a reporter? If you want to be a gutter trash reporter, listen to Quinn. If you want to be a successful investor then listen to someone who has done it----WADE COOK. It worked for me. It's working for everybodyelse and it will work for you too, but only if you try it. Good luck!

Summary: Funny, no negative reviews here!
Review: I picked up a old battered copy of How to build a Real Estate Money Machine in a 2nd hand book store and began to implement the strategies here in California where everybody said the Real Estate market was dead and there was no money to be made anymore. When you buy Real Esate the WADE COOK WAY, YOU CAN MAKE MONEY IN ANY MARKET AND IN ANYPLACE. i AM NOT RICH, but I have a second income from my real estate properties that is more than I make from my job of over 25 years. I don't get calls to unplug a stuffed up toilet, fix a roof, replace carpets etc. I find it's easy to get buyers for my properties since they don't need to go to a bank for financing, I'M THE BANK! I'm also using Wade's stock market strategies via WALL STREEET MONEY MACHINE, STOCK MARKET MIRACLES AND WEALTH 101. Mr Cook is somewhat of a trendsetter. He pioneered the "Money Machine Concept" in Real Estate and now is doing the same thing in the stock market. You won't find any negative ! reviews on Wade here because the concept works. Lease Options are now a proven quantity for Real Estate Investors. Soon, Wade's stock market strategies will be accepted as well as lease options are in real estate only because they work!

Summary: Turns dead equity into cash flow.
Review: I was introduced to Wade Cook via his excellent stock market books. I have created an excellent side income with covered calls, options, stock splits, naked calls and naked puts.Mr Cook advises to take your profits from the stock market and move it into real estate and other places. What thatin mind, I started investing in real estate and bought Real Estate Money Machine and How To Pick Up Foreclosures.Mr Cooks system makes so much sense. Just like his stock market strategies. It's all about cash flow. I know some people who are landlords and hate real estate (I can see why) and all the problems with tenants.As Wade Cook says; "If you'll do for two years what most people won't do, you can do for the rest of your life what most people can never do."I also recommend the 16% solution and Flipping Properties.Great books. Read them and use them.
