Phipps. "But you cannot start without some foundation." It has been noted and expected that by the year of 2024 the pool of real estate professionals will increase by 3.5%. Understanding the principles of the real estate industry and the markets that revolve around investing is that very foundation which needs to be put down first to have a strong and sturdy structure. Therefore, to help build that knowledge you need to have someone show you the ropes. And you would want that person to be honest and open, and not somebody that would take advantage of you or your hard earned money. With his book, Genuine Real Estate Investing Made Easy: Proven Strategies for Low Risk & High Profit Opportunities, Richard (and that is how he wishes to be addressed) offers straight talk about the highs and lows of being an investor. You will read no sugar-coated concepts or strategies here. What Richard offers in his book is real world expertise, step-by-step processes, and formulas to help you gain the confidence you need to have a successful career. Richard also shares how you can connect with him for a more personal experience, while learning in the actual field of REI. This invaluable book is much more than a guide. Richard does not skimp on the details, which include: Good rules of thumb to follow as a new investor Many of the markets that affect real estate and how they are tied together How to properly conduct a property analysis Where to obtain money to finance your projects Everything you want to know about rehab (it's nothing like you see on TV!) When you should take a loss and move on and so much more! With over 35 years' experience as a real estate investor, Richard is highly regarded in his field. His many awards not only include those that REIs receive, but also on the humanitarian front as well.
