The Book on No and Low Money Down - Review

Today I finished @Brandon Turner 's new book on creative finance.

It was terrific.

Thanks to BP and @Joshua Dorkin for publishing it.

I'll admit that I did not expect to learn a lot, as I have been investing for a while.

Turns out I was wrong.

Most of the concepts were familiar but the spirit was different.

It was more creative in its application of concepts than I would have expected possible.

As I went for my run today, I found myself re-planning my up-coming portfolio refinancing.

I was delighted by how much the book made me think more creatively.

Post run, I decided I would deploy a suggestion from the book.

But which one?

How about start blogging?

Done.

I have now started a blog, here on BP, about my experience as a landlord.

Hopefully some of you will enjoy it. You can find it via my profile.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the actions you are taking or impressions you have had resulting from your read of 'The Book on No and Low Money Down'?

Has the book made you think differently?

Are you taking new or different action as a result?

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan

Hey @Brandon Turner ,

It is nice to hear that I've made your day. 

You've written a really useful book. 

Your section on HELOCs has helped me better optimize my up-coming portfolio refinancing. 

Frankly, I should have been able to think my way to the same answer absent your book, but the spirit of your message has helped me be more creative in considering my options. 

In my book, that is worth a shout out. 

Hopefully many others will share their positive thoughts as well. 

Thank you again,

Jonathan

P.S. I am glad to see that you stopped by my blog. Much appreciated.
