Comments about How to Buy Real Estate Investment for Little or
No Money Down by John T. Reed

Thanks John!  Your books and newsletter are the best in the industry. Keep up the great work. I have quite a few of your books, and a lot of books by many others. Yet I only ever reread and refer back to your books. Your books have substance, specifics and details where others are general and wanting.

Best Regards,

Tracy

John,

I very much have enjoyed the books and newsletter. You've definitely
saved me from making some bad mistakes and easily saved me the cost of all the
books I've purchased. Thanks again!

How to Buy Real Estate for Little or No Money Down
  
Really gave the facts of using leverage, not the rah rah... Home Equity Line of Credit, so basic and not included in most books..

I was a government employee and your point of working for retirement really opened my eyes to my fellow employees. (my own attitude included)
  
   We now own 7 rentals (we sold 2 during the boom to pay off our house and 1 rental)
  
We just purchased a new rental on 2 lots. We will build two on it when the time is right.
  
We also used your buyer/builder that never sales. a rental we had on two lots burned down (smoking tenets). the home was on 2 lots. built 2, sold one and rented the other. that property is 60% LTV from the start... nice..
  
My wife and I have a current net worth of 800K, with a cash flow of $2800 per month. My wife is a real estate agent, and i landlord and maintenance.
  
Thank you for all you have done for me and my family.

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,
