"Real Estate Riches" by Dolf De Roos

Summary: Dolf loves real estate and in his book "Real Estate Riches" he basically goes on a 150 page rant about its many benefits. However, there were a few notable nuggets of information found in the book worth remembering.

 

Main

 

When I started reading "Real Estate Riches" I thought it was just another bare bones sales pitch book on buy and hold real estate, but I was surprised. I found several items worth remembering:

 

* How to beat the averages with property:

1) Averages move slowly and predictably.

2) Invest in areas where growth is over the national average.

3) Stats can tell you which suburbs to invest in to beat average returns.

 

* Slow Real Estate Agents cane be a gold mind!

If you are having trouble dealing with an agent, so are the other buyers! Frequent horrible agents and you will find lots of great deals.

 

* Sign Contracts "as nominee":

You may not know what entity you want to put a property into when you first make an offer. Signing it "as nominee" will allow you to assign the contract to the proper legal structure.

 

The authors website is DolfDeRoos.com. He has a newsletter which looks like it might be worth signing up for.

Biggest Takeaway: Dolf owns properties in tons of countries including New Zealand, the Netherlands, Australia, and the United States. He makes a great argument for investing across borders. This is something I need to look into a few years down the road (Target: 2024). He also makes a great argument for the investment environment in New Zealand.

Some People Consider Real Estate Investing Similar to Buying a Boat When you get right down to it, buying a non-performing mortgage is like buying a boat; the two happiest days are the day you buy it, and the day you sell it! Investing in a non-performing mortgage note (NPN-NPL), and cashing out for a profit, are my two happiest days as a note investor. A non-performing note is basically a mortgage where the borrower has stopped paying which means you can buy it at a discount. You have heard the old saying in real estate, the profit is made when you buy. How true that is, especially in the note world! We have found that you have to take into account all the costs you will run into from the day you buy it, until the day you sell it, and use that to make sure you are not overpaying. If not, you can lose money; sometimes a lot, sometimes all of it. While there are some warm and fuzzy feelings experienced when you own the boat, like taking it out on the water for the first time, you are go...

Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing

Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing: The Blueprint To Quitting Your Job With Real Estate - Even Without Experience Or Cash by Michael Blank is both a ‘how to’ and a bracing bit of financial self-help.   Michael Blank, according to his bio and the book’s introduction, is an ex programmer, would-be restauranteur and a seasoned investor who’s lived both near catastrophic failure and phenomenal success. He sets out a strong case that for those looking to retire from their jobs and live on passive income from their property, multi-family apartment blocks provide the most time and cost-efficient solution, relative to flipping single-family homes. Blank then both guides and cheerleads the potential novice property investor through his three-stage process: 1. raising the funds for that all-important first deal, without relying on personal savings, 2: How to interact with brokers as a serious buyer and build the right team of advisors or coaches, 3. Rapid analysis of pote...

What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow

"What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow" By Frank Gallinelli   Frank Gallineli's book "What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow... And 36 Other Key Financial Measures" is highly technical, but very interesting. I found it helped me by explaining the math behind the deals in plain English.   The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the basics of real estate investing and an introduction to the concepts that need to be understood. The second part covers individual calculations such as compound interest, cash-on-cash return, and internal rate of return. It is best kept as a reference, so my notes are limited:   How to make money in Real Estate: * Cash Flow - also called "net spendable cash", this is the left over money each month after all of your bills are paid. * Appreciation - the growth in the value of the property over time. * Loan Amortizat...
