I bought this book because the kindle version was so inexpensive at $0.99 that I figured it "couldn't hurt" to try it while I waited until the book that I REALLY wanted about flipping houses arrived. I started reading this one and immediately "red flags" were raised in my mind that the author might be one of those "real estate investment scammers" who are mainly trying to sell ridiculously expensive seminars or services to gullible investors. I googled his name and what came up verified my initial suspicion; one person posted, on a real estate investing forum, that Mr. Childress wanted 25K for 6 months of his coaching or $1500 for his software! If you google "real estate investment seminar scams" you can find some interesting information in general about these types of real estate "gurus" and their (often) questionable schemes and scams. There sure have been quite a few of them out there! In fairness I should note that I did not find much else negative about Mr. Childress in particular except on one other real estate blogger's website; the blogger had some scathing criticism of Zack Childress, though some of it was because the blogger claimed that Mr. Childress was just using other people's ideas. You can easily find this if you google the author's name and you can judge for yourself.Some of Mr. Childress's information sounds reasonable and is pretty much in line with what you might expect and hear about elsewhere, but his system of "wholesaling" real estate without actually purchasing the property sounds a bit "fishy" to me (though I am no real estate expert, my background and education is in architecture.)It sounds like the wholesaling "system" that he is promoting would have you doing what is dangerously close to what a real estate agent does--without actually being one.
