Recommended Real Estate Books - 2006

April 26, 2010


I have been cleaning up my desk and sorting through papers. I found this list which had been printed on the Inman Wiki which I had downloaded in August of 2007. It is entitled "The 10 best real estate books of 2006. I share the titles with you as I found it very illustrative of how the real estate scene, and to a large extent, the mortgage scene has changed from 2006 to 2010.


1."Trump-Style Negotiation". According to the reviewer, "...this extremely well written book that reveals negotiation tactics not found elsewhere..."


2.The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner". "It shows you how home ownership can lead to wealth."


3. "Buy Even Lower". ..."shows how to buy single family homes at targeted below-market prices and then either buy and hold,buy and flip, or (their favorite) buy and lease purchase."


4. "Real Estate Debt Can Make you Rich". " The two authors of this book, which explains why real estate debt is good, are (a) home buyers and realty agents who want to understand the inner workings of the mortgage industry and (b) investors who need to now how "good debt' can be created to maximize realty profits."


5. "Bubbles, Booms and Busts; Make Money in Any Real Estate Market". "This extremely well-researched book explains the signals of local rising, falling or neutral local home sales markets, and how to profit in any situation as long as you take a long term perspective on home sales.


6. " Success A Real Estate Agent for Dummies." (I actually purchased this book when I was working with new licensees.)


7. Everything You Need to Know Before Buying a Co-op, Condo, or Townhouse".


8. "Who Says You Can't Buy a home?" This mortgage broker author... explains how mortgage lenders look at borrowers in this "tell all" book."


9. "Confessions of a Real Estate Entrepreneur." "This books theme is "add value" to real estate whether you invest in raw land, houses, run-down factory buildings with rezoning potential, or fixer upper apartments and offices."


10. "The Reverse Mortgage Advantage." In this book "Virtually all aspects of senior-citizen reverse mortgages are thoroughly explained in this detailed but easy to read book with emphasis on the pitfalls as well as the major benefits."





There you are. books for the hot real estate market. It would be interesting to see what the titles might be for 2009/2010.
