A Word of Caution!

Being a full time investor myself - I am always reading other people's books to see if they have an angle to make a project more profitable or an idea that I have not used myself yet.

In David Lindahl's book - I found that it had some good fundamental advice of what types of markets to invest in as well as leveraging other people's time so that you can focus on your own highest and most productive use of your own personal time. Being involved in many multi-unit investments myself - Dave did acknowledge and cover some of the largest pitfalls that one can get into with these large buildings.

However, I did find it a bit discouraging that someone with so much experience is suggesting that complete novices purchase large multi-unit buildings to start with - especially since they have no experience with the fundamentals of investment real estate in the first place. Of which, Dave developed with his single family properties and then moved into larger units which gave him the knowledge based on previous experience.

From Dave's perspective I can see how someone with his experience (starting with single family homes)- could view this today as easy and that even a beginer could do it.

I honestly don't believe that most people - especially beginners, should buy such large complexes to start with. As profitable as they are for experienced investors, one needs to understand the basic fundamentals first. This sounds like the 'get rich quick' type of marketing to beginners that gets people into trouble very quickly.

This book is best suited to someone who has previous experience and is looking to get into larger deals - not beginners. Even for the experienced investor - this book only covers the basics of multi-family investing and it not a technical book. It is more of a promotion for Dave's courses, which may be worth the investment for someone who already owns investment real estate and wants to get into bigger projects.

Good book, esp. for those interested in apartment investing

Emerging Real Estate Markets is a good book for those wishing to invest in commercial real estate, especially apartment buildings. When I bought the book, I was more interested in investing in individual homes or condos, but that is not the main focus of the book.

With respect to emerging markets, the author doesn't talk about specific up-and-coming markets (e.g. Florida markets, etc.), but he does tell the reader how to identify markets which he refers to as:
- Buyer's Market Phase I
- Buyer's Market Phase II
- Seller's Market Phase I
- Seller's Market Phase II

Most of the rest of the book is about how to do a deal, where to find money, how to inspect the property, etc.

This author clearly knows his stuff and his writing style is good. If you're looking to invest in multi-unit apartment buildings, and you're looking for advice on everything from finding a deal to closing a deal, then this would be a good book to read!

Emerging RE Markets Review

This book is the BEST I have read in a very long time regarding market timing entrance and exit based on US geography. Dave is an "expert" investor that speaks with authority on the subject. As I read along I realized all the mistakes I have made over the years. If I only had this book 5 years ago! Great job Dave!


Awesome!

Awesome! Wish I had read and applied this book 2 years ago...before the market started its crash. As the owner (once proud) of 45 homes...some appreciated 100% in 2 years -- but due to market cycles -- now I am wishing I had a crystal ball. Well Dave gives you the understanding to have your own crystal ball!
