Phil comes through once again with a book that shows superbly that it's far better to learn from other's mistakes than your own. If you put yourself in the place of each of these unfortunate real estate investors you can experience the results of their bad decisions and learn valuable lessons from their mistakes rather than making any of their mistakes your own. Not only does Phil tell each story and how each investor's mistakes resulted in financial and emotional woes, he also shows how to avoid making the same costly mistakes when investing in your first or next property. This is a must have book for any real estate investor!
Phil Pustejovsky has written a fanatic treatise on what can go terribly wrong in a real estate deal. He is brutally honest and quick to reach the main points in each of the 21 chapters. Not only is it packed with incredibly valuable information, but it is written in a very conversational fashion so that going from page 1 to the end is not only very educational and eye opening, but an enjoyable one at that! Whether you are a seasoned investor or a beginner in the field of real estate investing, this book is not to be missed. A fantastic bargain at this price!http://www..com/gp/product/B019CXZP7I?redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_1
Just what the subtitle says: 21 pithy stories about real estate deals gone bad. Each story is a case history followed by Pustejovsky's elucidation of lessons from the case history.This is a wonderful use of the Kindle format. It's short, entertaining, instructive, and the price is right (a nickel a story when I bought it!)
I enjoyed the stories, I have a few of my own that might compete.I read the book in a few hours, good stories, and had some good laughs, that brought up a few memories of my own bad deals.The price was right, I think it was free.
It was high time someone wrote this book.Almost all real estate gurus paint a rosy picture around real estate with words like "automatic income", "passive income", "nest egg" and the outright lie like that investing in real estate gives you total control over your investment.As an investor with some hands on experience with real estate I can now attest to the deceptive nature of most real estate advice for novices.If you are serious about real estate, give yourself an education first and don't fall for the trap that real estate is hands down the best investment category this world has to offer. In the end it all depends on you, the investor, and how much you are willing to study, to learn and to how much stress you are willing to put up with in order to build up the expertise you need. Only with enough expertise real estate will BECOME a great investment for you.Mr. Pustejovsky's book is a great guide for beginners with 21 different examples of RE investing gone bad. In almost all the examples the investor was new to the field or decided to start investing in a type of RE he was not familiar with. I wish I had read this book years earlier, because one of the examples was very similar to my first RE investment.So, after all the rah-rah real estate books and seminars you went to, now give yourself a real education and read this book. For the price I paid for it (1.10 dollar on Kindle), I consider it a steal.Thank you, Phil Pustejovsky!
This read is informative to anyone who is looking into becoming a real estate investor. Learning from others is wisdom so you do not make the same mistakes in your opportunity in real estate. Fantastic read!
This is an Amazing Book. This could not have been more timely for me. The author clearly explains in short Real stories how Real Estate investors lost money due to lack of Due diligence, Lack of understanding of the Laws , naively believing other people ( like contractors ) .I like the way the author summarises the Lessons learnt at the end of each Story. I really commend his effort to write this book.
As a newbie investor this book was very informative for me. It gave several tools I could use right off the bat that I had never come to realize. I would say anyone interested in real estate investment should read this book prior to making that first purchase
