Fortune Magazine states, 97 out of 100 self-made millionaires made their fortunes through Real Estate Investing, and the next 10 years will be a Golden Era for the informed Real Estate Investor. If you are saying to yourself that sounds great but I cannot quit my job and begin investing full time. This new book is for you! You will learn how to become a skilled professional Real Estate Investor who can generate thousands, and yes, even millions of dollars, in your spare time. Unlike starting a retail business where you need to be there every day, you can work a full-time job and invest in real estate on the side, and reap huge profits. The key is time.

The real estate investing business is a perfect part-time business because real estate is a business where the assets appreciate and cash flow is generated even when you are absent. This book will give you the information and advice necessary to buy, finance, and successfully manage a small number of positive cash flow producing properties in your spare time. Investing in real estate is one of the safest and smartest investments you can make.

Real estate appreciates at a rate far greater than the rate of inflation, builds equity, provides a steady return on investment, provides cash flow, and can offer substantial tax benefits. With the sound guidance in this book you will be able to retire comfortably and EARLY!

A sampling of what's covered in this encyclopedic book includes: how to find below-market deals, investing with little or no down payment, seller financing, foreclosures and REOs, investment property, negotiating, purchase offers, managing rental property, flipping, auctions, tax sales, financing, mortgage terms, agents, cash flow, inspections, contracts, tenants, lease agreements, insurance, taxes and accounting, escrow, essential mathematical calculations, sample forms, development, taxation, and exchange rules.
