It's a good book for entry level/general information. Lindahl even provides a lot of high level personal experience which is helpful to reference from. Having said that, this book is really just a stepping stone into the David Lindahl school of buying his products. I say this because there is not much information in the book that you can't find online though the fact that Lindahl has consolidated it all and even tried to validate it through his own experiences, the information remains nothing new or earth shattering.This isn't a book that will get you into apartments it merely sets you down the right direction and yes you can perhaps get involved in apartment investing without any further education from Lindahl but there are definite questions that have to be answered that are not in this book; questions I believe he intentionally left out to entice the readers to up their investment and purchase one of his home study kits or attend one of his live seminars, which he advertises in every other chapter or so in the book (sometimes directly and other times indirectly).Don't get me wrong, I found this book very helpful and took a large amount of notes but I also had a list of questions that I wanted answered before I ever picked up the book and those questions remain unanswered. Questions like -How do you determine the asking price?Aside from obtaining the money for closing the deal be it via traditional lending, angel investors, friends/ family etc, where do you get the money for the up front cost for due dilligence or better yet how much does that cost (inspection fees, attorney fees, application for loan fees, etc).
