Summary: Maybe it should be titled .... Reposition to Retirement
Comment: This is another great book by a real estate investor who practices what he preaches. This book is easy to read and very informative. Repositioning apartment complexes is a sure way to retirement. This book explains the concepts and principles to becoming very successful in yet another powerful investment strategy. An excellent addition to a anyone's personal library.

Customer Rating:

Summary: A Must Read!
Comment: Since repositioning (rehabbing)a property can be a very risky investment opportunity, this book was able to provide me with the insight and the inspiration to do one myself. The author takes a good common sense approach that is easy to understand. This is a must read for anybody wanting to get the maximum value out of their real estate investment and minimize your risks. Thank you Mr. Lindahl!

Summary: Holy Moly!
Comment: Thanks for the great advice, I am looking for a career change and was looking to get into real estate and this book and Mr Instability convinced me to give it a try!

Customer Rating:

Summary: Why would you give away a great idea?
Comment: If someone had a great idea on how to make money why would they tell everyone about it? Why not just got put your idea into practice and make all the money yourself? Because the author of this book is the nicest guy in history? I think it is because he can make more money selling you a bad idea than he can make exploiting the idea itself. That would mean the idea is not very good. Conclusion: Don't buy this book.

Another thing to note. All the other reviewers for this book that gave it four stars. Click on their names. They never reviewed a book before this one. Seem slightly suspicious? It does to me.

Run a search on Google for the title of this book. Find any sites that give a review? Find anything that would indicate how this book leapt to #1 on Amazon? Was the book discussed on any TV shows or on NPR or anywhere else? I didn't find anything.

Better yet, run a search on Google for the author of the book. That is where I found the interesting things.

Also go read the review for his other book: Emerging Real Estate Markets: How to Find and Profit from Up-and-Coming Areas

Here is what a reviewer had to say about that book:
Although the book discusses emerging markets (local markets on the upswing) this is standard advice given in any real estate book. It's not like the whole book specializes on that topic. The book focuses on multi-unit apartment buildings.

More accurate title: Decent book on investing in multi-unit apartments and lots of plugs for my website and products.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Very informative
Comment: Most real estate books put me to sleep. This one kept me awake and taking
notes about the opportunities I now see in my local area.

Discover why apartment houses are the best investment in today's real estate market

The key to making big profits in real estate is to go against the traditional wisdom. When the masses are buying, it's often time to sell. When everyone is selling, there are huge bargains to be found. In Multi-Family Millions, contrarian real estate investor Dave Lindahl shows you how to read the market cycle, and explains why now is a great time to get started investing in apartment houses—even if it's your first time investing in real estate and you have no money for a down payment.

With a simple two- to five-unit multi-family property, or a thirty-unit apartment building, you can implement the same strategies Lindahl used in over 500 deals to build his own real estate fortune:

How to reposition a multi-family property for maximum profit
Where to get the money for your first deal
How to own an apartment house and never deal with tenants
Ten bad mistakes rehabbers make
Three proven principles for attracting great deals on multi-family properties
When and how to resell for huge profits

Conventional wisdom says real estate investors should start with single-family houses. Discover why it's easier and much more profitable to invest in multi-families!
