Easy to use organized guide that takes you step by step through a process
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I've been investing in real estate for 5+ years and have worked for a private equity group as Director of Acquisitions. To be successful as an investor, you need to have a system. That's what I like about Symon's book. He presents a very systematic way to invest in real estate.
The Table of Content presents a strong outline that takes you from the Why of real estate investing to How to expand your portfolio and work with partners.
The book also has several helpful charts and images to drive home each lesson.
Although the book feels comprehensive like a textbook, it's written in a way that's easy to understand and logical to follow.
Symon's approach is also very metrics based (see photos). His scorecards help you test out your ideas by creating objective metrics to look at.
I highly recommend this book!

The Author is Genius!!!
Format: Paperback
I wish Symon can write all of the books I need to read because he is phenomenal at simplifying the most complex terms and subjects! I am a up and coming Real Estate Investor and the digital downloads that came with this book have greatly increased my productivity! I will continue to support him and his team on all of their endeavors. I have a better understanding of how the Real Estate Investing Industry works! Even though he gives realistic advice, I still feel confident enough to pursue even the most riskiest deals. Great job on everything! I wish he can write a Business Acquisition book, although this book and digital assets are still greatly beneficial when acquiring cashflow businesses! I canβt put the book down! I recommend this book to every Real Estate Investor I meet! Definitely top 10 of my favorite books!
