  • Inspiring and life changing!
My dad had several rental properties when I was growing up as a kid but I never really knew about the benefits of real estate investing. Over the coronavirus shutdown I wanted to better myself and I read Rich Dad Poor Dad was inspired to start building toward my future. I bought this book and it was amazing! Mark is really detailed and inspired me even further! He has a blog and YouTube channel that I keep up with and I recently bought some more books of his. I’m in college with my major being that of a teacher so I know the importance of passive income. However the more I have read into real estate, the more I believe I have a future in real estate instead. A friend of mine is a realtor and I bought him lunch and talked to him about real estate. It’s Christmas break and I’m off from college and decided to take classes to get my real estate license! I have Mark to thank for showing the benefits of real estate! I read his buying into success book and I really saw myself in the main character Mo. If you find you are still hesitant to get started, I recommend you read that book next for some extra motivation to get started! ... show more

  • com and I really liked the content he was putting out
I started off reading a few of Mark's blog post on investfourmore.com and I really liked the content he was putting out. I liked how his content had real value and specific details pertaining to real estate. From there I knew I had to buy his book "Build A Rental Property Empire" in order to really understand how to build wealth in real estate. This book exceeded my expectations! Mark covers all topics in regards to building a rental empire. He explains why he believes rentals are the best investments, keys to successful investing, how to analyze and run REAL numbers of owning a rental, the different types of rentals you can buy, clever ways to finance or invest with little money down, and much much more. I love how this book is put together in a cohesive manner and straight to the point, you won't have to dig through a bunch of fluff... it's all really good material. This book is a must read for anyone interested in building true wealth through rental properties. ... show more

  • Well-balanced guide to rental investing
I've followed Mark's blog and podcast for a while now and learned a lot. This book is a great accumulation of knowledge I've had to search for on various sites, all packed into one neat little package. Unlike some other books I've read, it definitely meets the miniskirt rule: Short enough to be interesting but long enough to cover the subject. Mark gives a thorough and fairly unbiased coverage of many topics and strategies, before giving his own input on what works in his special situation and area, always careful to remind the reader that what works for him may not work where the reader is. That said, I do find it interesting how biased he is against the 50% rule, 2% rule, and NOI. Like any other figure, they can be useful rules of thumb for quick analysis and comparison, as long as you know the pitfalls and how to use them correctly. Topics I hope he will revise in future editions. In addition, I did find quite a few errors, mostly spelling related. If not for these last 2 issues, I would give it 5 stars. Definitely a book I will keep in my kindle shelf for future reference! ... show more

  • Great book on rental property investing.
Initially when I purchased this book, the pages fell out and I was saddened because I was looking forward to reading this book. So, I went through Amazons item returning process and got a new copy of the book. I was recommended to read this book by a Youtuber who I forgot the name of. After reading the book, I would like to express my opinion of affirmation in this book. I think this book is extremely helpful for people who are getting involved in the real estate industry (specifically rental property investing). It breaks down chapters into sections which is very useful if you stumble upon a section and want to read it to get some quick knowledge about a specific topic. Furthermore, the author of this book is a reputable real estate investor who built an entire empire on rental properties and posts updates of his investments on his blog which is public. ... show more

  • A free blog organized into a book
This book is basically Mark's free blog posts smooshed together into a book you can pay for. I have no problem with a blogger finding ways to make money on his work but you should know that going in to your buying decision. Most of his empire building experience seems to be in the years following the housing crisis in a market that is very favorable to rental property buyers. This book could easily be called, "All my free blog posts put into a book you can pay me for about why you should have invested in Colorado real estate after the housing crash when everything was dirt cheap and there was a ton of money to be made". Although he talks about his strategies as if he's discovered the golden goose that will keep laying those eggs indefinitely as long as he keeps pumping in the corn feed, it's clear his success is largely based on favorable market conditions. In fact, the little bit of reading I've gone back and done on his blog shows that he's having to change his strategy now as it's no longer working after housing prices rose but rents didn't. I'm giving it three stars because the information is valuable but much of it is no longer relevant until we see a market shift. ... show more
