Buy, Rent and Sell: How to Profit by Investing in Residential Real Estate

Book excerpt: The time has never been better for investing in real estate, and this book arms the millions of investors who are returning to real estate as an established instrument of wealth creation with surefire strategies for making a killing in the real estate market. Due to the pent-up demand for housing caused by the lull in housing starts during the 90s, as many as 11 million would-be American home-owners are currently vying for a rapidly dwindling pool of available properties. In Buy, Rent, and Sell Bob Irwin, one of America’s most well-known and respected real estate author/experts, provides nuts-and-bolts advice and guidance on how to find good investment properties, how to successfully rent them, and how to quickly turn them around for a profit. Written in Irwin’s trademark down-to-earth, jargon-free style, Buy, Rent, and Sell is an indispensable guide for novices as well as experienced real estate investors.
