 This is an AWESOME BOOK!Jun 07, 2009
By Wade A. Alderson
"Avid Reader"
This book has everything but the kitchen sink! I have been to two seminars costing over $350 each and they didn't cover half the stuff this book does. The home work he gives you at the end of every chapter goes a long way in getting you started. I read the book cover to cover the first time. Then I help a friend who went chapter by chapter doing the home work the second. By the time he was done with the book the second time (5 months ago), he had everything in place and have been purchasing one mobile home a month ever since to great success, with a positive cash flow after expenses of $1,500 a month so far and plans to keep going.

Finally - a book with the real nuts and bolts about how to investMar 02, 2009
By Steve S. Streetman
If you're looking for a 'cheerleading' book about how great real estate investing is or how easy it is to do no-money-down deals, there are plenty of choices. If, like me, you want to see a book that gives real, practical advice on how to invest: finding and evaluating good deals, checking out the property, getting it financed and managing it, buy this one.
This is not a light read, but it is easy to follow and it lays out one of the clearest and most complete paths to investing I've seen anywhere. I read it quickly, but will also use it as a reference as I begin investing in mobile homes. If you plan to invest in mobile homes, any one of about fifty tips in this book is going to save you way more than the book's cost. I wish there was a book like this for every real estate investing sector.

Excellent Book! (!or shall I say investment)Jul 31, 2009
By SMR
This book doesn't provide high level topics with vague details, like you get at most investing seminars. It covers each topic thoroughly down to boxed and highlighted equations, where necessary. The book contains 3 key sections: Profit Strategies, the 5 Green F's that tell you have to actually execute each deal, and the basic principles of wealth. Another HUGE perk is that this book contains many example forms at the end from contracts, Leases, FSBO call sheets, inspection sheets, etc. For less than $20, this book is an enormous value. Not only does it motivate you but the topics are so clear, it almost takes away any fear you might have about starting in investing. Lastly, the author speaks in a clear, simple, and easy to understand voice that is quite humorous at some points.
As you can tell, I can't say enough about how awesome this book is

 Good StuffDec 28, 2009
By P. Silver
Great info for mobile homes as well as real estate investing in general.
I've read a lot of books on investing and this one gives some ideas I haven't heard of before.
The only problem I have is with the Lease Option chapter. As with many investors, they recommend giving a rent credit for each month of payment by the tenant/buyer. Check with a local attorney but this can lead to equitable interest in the property, meaning that you would have to foreclose on the tenant instead of just evicting them.

Great bookNov 15, 2009
By B. Perry
Most of the book can be applied to any area of real estate investing, not just mobile homes. There are some very interesting strategies tailored to just mobile homes that are worth the read. Saw author in person at a local club. He was really fantastic.
