About the Book

Everyone knows real estate investing can be a powerful way to build wealth and achieve true financial freedom. But because each person’s journey is different, the best way to get started is usually shrouded in opinions, high-pressure sales, and mystery.

That’s why two of the biggest names in the real estate world teamed up to bring you the most comprehensive manual ever written on getting started in the lucrative business of real estate investing. In How to Invest in Real Estate: The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Getting Started, Josh Dorkin and Brandon Turner, longtime hosts of the world’s No. 1 real estate podcast—the BiggerPockets Podcast—give you a deep-yet-wide look at the many different niches and strategies that exist so you can find what works best for you, your resources, and your goals.

Unlike most traditional real estate books, this one won’t tell you there is “one secret path” to real estate success. Instead, it dives into dozens of unique and life-changing quests and is packed with more than 40 real-life stories of how real estate investors are finding success in today’s economy. This book will help you carve your own path and give you all the tools needed to begin your journey.

If you want to do anything in your life remotely similar to Josh and Brandon,this book is for you!

Do you sell in bulk orders?

For larger orders of copies of this book, email [email protected] with your request. Discounts are given for group orders or for group educational purposes.

What if I want a refund?

We are so confident that this book will absolutely blow you away that we offer a 100% no-questions-asked 30-day money back guarantee. If this book doesn't help you form a robust plan to achieve financial freedom, we will refund your entire purchase amount, within 30 days. For a refund request, just send an email to [email protected]. Refunds not applicable for books purchased on Amazon or other third-party retailers.

What is the meaning of life?

This question is quite common, so let's address it. While we can't tell you the exact meaning of life, we can tell you a few things we are confident are NOT the meaning of life. Slaving away at a 9-5 job for forty years, just to retire on what's left of our social security system is not the meaning of life. Not having enough financial resources to support your favorite charity is not the meaning of life. Missing your kids' soccer games because you were too busy working is not the meaning of life. So why do so many people spend their lives at work? Free yourself. Refuse to be part of a culture that values work over relationships. Find ways to create passive income through real estate notes so you can build your own dreams rather than spend the next decade building someone else's. Travel. Take risks. Read. Love. And then give back.

Oh, and pick up a copy of this book. It'll help you get there faster.
