Hi John,
About 6 or 7 months ago I came across your website and have been hooked ever since. I have bought four of your books and thoroughly enjoyed each one (Fixers, How to buy for 20% under value, How to buy with little to no money down, and How to increase value) . I plan to buy more of them in the future...I went through a guru's home self-study course and everything you said on your website is pretty much spot on. I definitely was an ambitious novice who was over-sold on basic information. We made our tuition money back and then some; but, I think it was do or die with me. I was hell bent on making back that money so I came into it with extremely high motivation. However, since then I've discovered that it takes inordinately more work than they claimed and my expectations as to how easy it is to make money in real estate have become realistic. Anyone that tries to persuade you othewise is lying. It takes a lot of work and know-how. Figuring out the "how-to" part doesn't occur overnight.
I think it's possible to learn investing the correct way - that is doing it ethically, legally, and without a bunch of unrealistic expectations - and do so for a much more reasonable cost. Let future newbies be informed.
Thanks,

Every real estate investor would profit from reading your books and newsletter. You challenge a lot of commonly held investment and management assumptions and business practices. You are the most practical, down-to-earth, no nonsense, humble real estate investment advisor in the country, a unique voice of reason in an industry filled with both accidental and deliberate mis-information.
Your primary weapons are a heavy dose of common sense, creative problem-solving, logic, a unique ability to share both your personal successes and errors. I doubt many investors manage to do everything you recommend, but when I look at the successful investors I have known over the past 25 years, it's clear their business plans follow much of the same advice you give readers every month.
I have enjoyed reading your articles for the past twenty or more years, and although I prefer to give myself credit for my successes, I am sure your reasoning, month after month, has shaped my own investment strategy. Thank you. Mike Scott Dupre + Scott Apartment Advisors
