    I read it. I would rate it as okay. It basically walks you through how to analyze a property (i.e. cash flow analysis) and discusses some due diligence stuff. I found it did not add much to what I've learned from reading this forum, especially some of the threads on deal analysis and how to use the property analysis tool.

    What are some of the other books that you read ?

    Other than that, I've read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Down to Earth Landlording by Don Beck, and Buy Low, Rent Smart, Sell High by Scott Frank and Andy Heller.

    I found Rich Dad, Poor Dad to be more motivational and about putting you in the right frame of mind rather than full of day-to-day practical advice. The other two books I found pretty helpful. Don Beck gives you a lot of issues to think about and problems that could come up with some advice on how to try to stop them before they start and deal with them after they have occurred. The last book deals with lease-purchase agreements and discusses the authors' program of wealth building with them. The last two books contain a number of forms you could adapt to your uses.
