Business Money Books

This book introduces principles that are simple to understand (a 5 yr old can understand) yet powerful principles if applied in your life. I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to improve or learn more about managing their financial life. Great book!

Like others have said... this book doesn't say anything new. However, like someone said "Common sense is common because many people don't use any." The financial realities of most of the populace is that they don't understand (hence follow) these basic principles.

Anyway, this book is short, sweet and to the point. It's not just focusing on money either, but it states that money is a tool that enhances life and doesn't make it. Health, family, doing what you want to do, helping others does. That's a big point that many people waste their entire lives. They end up wealthy but don't have their health or didn't have the chance to give away (yes, give away) their money during their lifetime to family, friends or worthy causes.

If you're looking for a great book on money, wealth, meaning of money in life. This is it or a great start.

There's nothing really new in this book... don't expect to find some incredible new get rich quick scheme, mystical formula, or sure fire investment approach. It's just a good description of a basic, common sense way to accumulate wealth over time.

The beauty of this book is its simplicity: it's a quick and easy read, and it gives practical examples that are meant to get the reader thinking. In a nutshell, Evans' message is:

* Get in the right mindset
* Understand and manage your current financial situation
* Pay yourself first (make savings a normal part of life)
* Look for additional ways to increase income and reduce spending
* Give back

Once the reader has accepted the concepts and has decided to implement them, they can turn to other resources to fill in the details, such as where and how to invest their savings or potential ways to generate additional income.

While it's definitely not a new message, it's a simple and timeless one that has proven itself to work countless times over many generations. While following these principals won't guarantee that everyone will become a millionaire, violating them is almost guaranteed to lead to financial failure!

Five Lessons helped me realize what I wanted out of finances in my life - peace. All the other books I have read on making money made me focus on acquiring money and/or things. At one point I was working 3 jobs. Sure, I was able to buy stuff, but I never slept. About the time I was starting to wonder how much would I pay to take a nap, just a short little nap, a friend gave me this book.

The single most important thing I learned was to define what I considered wealth. I learned what I really want.

I don't make as much money now as I once did, but I only work one job. I sleep at night. I have true joy walking away from impulse purchases, instead of the constant regret that all my stuff made me feel in the past. I can park my car in the garage rather than all the junk I used to collect in a momentary buy of happiness, only to have it uselessly occupy precious space. My marriage is happy, no longer stressed by financial strife. I still have some debts my earlier decisions created, but I am paying them off much faster than I used to hope I ever would. I ain't rich, but this book helped make me a wealthy man.

Richard Paul Evans is best known as the author of The Christmas Box, a book he initially self-published in 1993. The Christmas Box was such a success that Simon & Schuster eventually bought the rights for several million dollars. Since then, Evans has written several other books including this one.

In the preface, Evans answers why an author of inspirational novels would write a book about money.

"If the intent of my efforts as a writer has been to leave the world a better place, then at no time in history has the message of this book been more relevant or needed.

I believe one of the gravest dangers plaguing modern American culture is fiscal irresponsibility. Never before have so many had so much stuff and so little freedom. Debt is forcing us to work more and more, stealing from us our precious time as well as our happiness."

Amen to that.

The premise of the book is that Evans, when a boy, was taught five secrets of wealth by a multimillionaire. The millionaire taught Evans five lessons:

Lesson 1 - Decide to Be Wealthy.

The first step to accomplishing anything is to set the goal and make the commitment.

Lesson 2 - Take Responsibility for Your Money

Do you know how much money you have or how much is coming into your life? What do you spend it on? Grab the reins and take control!

Lesson 3 - Keep a Portion of Everything You Earn

There's an adage that says, "It's not how much you make but how much you keep". In this chapter, Evans describes some simple methods for creating and building your nest egg.

Lesson 4 - Win in the Margins

Often, what you do outside of your day job is what will make you wealthy. Evans encourages us to constantly look for ways to increase our income. He illustrates this concept with several good examples.

Lesson 5 - Give Back

This chapter focuses on an interesting concept that I've discovered in other personal finance books such as Money...It's Not Just for Rich People! by Janine Bolon - giving away your wealth through philanthropy can actually contribute to building your wealth.

One of the best parts of the book is where Evans describes four aspects of what he calls "The Millionaire Mentality" that are essential for building wealth. The book also includes a "Resources" section that gives suggestions on how to "win in the margin" and some useful forms for recording your net worth and cash flow.

Evans credits his personal financial success to implementing these lessons in his life. In fact, he attributes the creation and success of The Christmas Box to the idea of "winning in the margins".

The Five Lessons is a short book (the main section is only 84 pages long, the appendix is 22 and there are 12 pages of forms) but the book's brevity is an advantage because it makes it a quick and enjoyable read. All of Evans' lessons are sound and will benefit anyone seeking to improve their financial position.

Michael Mihalik is the author of Debt is Slavery: and 9 Other Things I Wish My Dad Had Taught Me About Money. Learn how to gain control of your finances, pay off your debt, and create financial security!

If Twist had billed the book as an autobiography, it could have worked. This is not about money but about Lynne Twist's spiritual view of the world.

that money had less power over your life? Thsi book is a certain guide to breaking emotional and metal molds in one of life's touchiest areas. Lynne Twist's exploration of the spiritual side of money adn wealth is a heartening introduction to a way of thinking that can change the way the world does business. Her insights are that powerful.

I will keep this very brief as I don't want to waste your time like the way I wasted mine by reading this book.
Key Points of the author:
- Align your transactions with your morals
- Scarcity is not real. Believe in sufficiency
- Focus on the qualitative aspects of life, like relationships

That is pretty much it. The book is a VERY touchy-feely book filled with her real life examples of volunteering with Third World countries and how deep down in peoples' souls is where fulfillment lies, not in materialistic goods. Some of the things she says and suggests borders on socialist doctrine.

If you are looking for a way to better understand yourself, happiness, and the role money plays, I suggest you look into the field of positive psychology. Money has diminishing marginal returns...in other words, the guy who earns $500,000 is not 10X happier than the guy who earns $50,000. With that said, remove yourself from the rat race, be content with the things around you, don't focus so much on tomorrow, and dedicate yourself (career/volunteer) to something you believe in. That simple equation is more valid and will transform your life more than this entire book.

This wokderful lady adds the spirt to the money. She has accomplished much in the world, so this is not a "how to" book that is for the purpose of making money for the writer, but one whom I know lives the life and walks the talk.

Lynne Twist has written a very inspiring book that can totally tranform one's relationship with money and self.

I read this book cover to cover in less than 2 weeks, and was expecting it to give EVERYONE (especially people like me with NO cash and NO assets) a strategy and a starting place on how to grow financially wealthy.
Chapter by chapter it gives "case studies" and examples from real people and their current financial situation, and shows them how to create monthly cash flow (income) from what they already have.
In each case study, these people had over $3,000 CASH in the bank, a LARGE 401K or IRA with more than $10,000 in it, and over $50,000 in CASH equity in their home!! Give me a break. These people already had LOTS of money. It just wasn't allocated correctly where it was making them monthly income.

The information in this book is useless to MOST of the population. I personally don't have thousands in CASH, or thousands in equity in a home (I rent), or thousands sitting there in a 401K or IRA. If YOU fall into one of those catagories, by all means buy this book. BUT, if you are like 95% of Americans, and have no cash built up or no assets ALREADY, such as real estate, this book will do you no good whatsoever.

Not once did she give an example of someone starting with nothing! This book was a total waste of my time, and it will more than likely be a waste of yours, UNLESS you already have lots of money you need to re-allocate.

Loral Langemeier has a down-to-earth method of improving your way of seeing your finances and your financial environment. Setting out the building blocks, she helps in the analysis of a financial situation and gives guidelines on how to proceed to acquire a healthy dosis of confidence in managing one's financial affairs.

The book is an introduction to more extensive courses, but this is a good start and certainly gives adequate food for thought. If nothing else, you will live better and with more purpose.

The book itself is quite good, but beware the tendency to push her mentorship program.

She has a company that sells mentorship to becoming wealthy. the only person becoming wealthy is laura!

I know some of her real estate investment recommendations to her students have not panned out. Its not that she was scamming them, but rather she was short of misled herself.

Book is so so. Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Ecker is much better in this category. I bought the book to go to her seminar. Same rating for the seminar

Book had some good points, but all it really does is make you very discontent with what you have to make you want more. Then she sucks you into her coaching program which and thats where she makes her real money!

Don't waste your time or money folks. They will try everything they can to get you in! We lost $3000, but almost lost $10,000 and they wanted us to put it all on a credit card! Unfortunately we did.

The coaching was a horrible program. Like I said we first were lured into spending $10,000! We didn't go for it and only did the $6000 version. Very unhappy we were refunded $3000, but we are still out $3000. We didn't have the money, so the coach pressed us very hard to put it all on a credit card. Can't believe we did.

We were passed off to 3 different coaches. One said he would personally coach us. Then after 2 more phone calls, he passed us off to another coach

We had that coach for 2 weeks, then showed up for the next class no coach showed up at all, so we left scratching our heads. The next week we had a different coach with no explanation of what happened to the previous one.

On top of that, all the coaches did was show powerpoints of the material already explained in the book and talk about it. The whole program was simply an overview of the same material in the book we received, nothing more. Nothing different!

We kept waiting for more, then all of a sudden we were at the last session, and then it was over. Totally surprised I asked the coach, "thats it?" She agreed.

Basically we paid over $3000 to hear someone tell us what we could have read ourselves.

We spoke with our sign up coach about all of the problems we had, and he assured us they would make these wrongs right.

One thing he promised was that we could retake to course for no additional fee the next summer. Then I asked if we still were not satisfied after that, and he eluded to a full refund.

Well we had several issues that summer, pregnancy, lost job, car accident, we could not retake the course.

So I called back to ask for the full refund. I found out our sign up coach no longer works there and talked with someone there and she assured we would NOT get any more refunds.

Thanks Loral for first making me feel discontent with what I have, then taking my money when I tried to do better! Glad I could make you a little more richer at my families expense.

This book will give you the basics of a good start for personal financial planning. It goes in the basic requirements needed to start your business. I highly recommend this book for somebody starting in the financial planner field with no previous experience.

I've had the privilege of meeting Dr. Cauvier and hearing him speak, the book and speaker are excellent - a very useful resource.

Every teenager deserves a chance at understanding personal finance. If they do not receive a financial education from their parents or school.....then who? This book is easy to read and incorporates the principles to financial freedom. This book will inspire some entrepreneurs and motivate some disciplined teens to declare their own financial freedom.

This is a great book that can help get your financial life off to a running start. The information presented took the authors years and years to compile and is incredibly valuable if you put it to use.

Solid fundamentals on which to build a business on. Also has many great pieces of personal financial advice.

This book is extremely outdated. I was written before the internet was popular, thus, it is not helpful at all.

I purchased "The Lawyer's Career Change Handbook" along with other books written for people who have (or will soon have) law degrees, but are not sure they want to practice law. This book has been an invaluable tool in helping me realize where I want to go with my life. What I like most about it is that it includes exercises to make its readers think critically about their own skills, interests, and requirements in the workplace. I find that the book is very practical, and although I am just begining my job search, it has been helpful as a tool to prioritize what I'm looking for in an employer.

When considering whether to purchase this book, I read some highly critical reviews, but bought the book anyway. If you are serious about looking for a job which is more suited to you, I would encourage you to buy it too - and read it with a pencil and pad of paper close at hand.

For those of you who, like me, are very frustrated with law - whether you are already practicing or not, I want to share this passage, which summed up everything I feel about my experiences in the field of law. On page 12, Hindi Greenberg writes:

"One of my clients recently wrote a stinging evaluation of law practice, listing the things he dislikes. In his words: 'I disilke (1) the interpersonal nastiness of litigation, (2) the combatitiveness of litigation, (3) the win-at-all-cost attitude of litigation, (4) the crisis mentality of litigation, (5) that my goal is to defeat my opponent and my opponent's goal is to defeat me, (6) the pressure of being expected to do work that my oponent can never criticize - an absolutely unrealistic expectation, (7) that I am always around people who are angry at someone, (8) that I cannot be fair or reasonable, as I see fairness and reason, but have to fight for every advantage I can get out of a situation, (9) that I cannot spend my life working with a group of dedicated people to achieve a common goal but instead must constantly fight other people to achieve success.'"

Particularly with respect to number 7, this has been my experience over two summers of clerking for law firms.

The afternoon before I began reading this book, I went out for coffee with a fellow law student. I tried to explain to her all of the reasons that I am uninterested in a career as a lawyer - but no matter what I said, she was adamant that I will be able to find a fulfilling legal career, telling me, "not all law firms are like the ones you have worked for. There are plenty of areas of law where you never have to fight at all. There are better lawyers to work for. There are better areas of law to practice in." This book made me realize that I'm not being subborn or overly emotional, or closed-minded about career options. I am grateful to Hindi Greenberg for showing me that I am not alone, and that, frankly, there is nothing wrong with me for not wanting to spend the next 30 or 40 years of my life fighting for a living, or trying to do perfect work which can never be criticized.

In addition to giving me much-needed affirmation that I am not being an idiot, because being a lawyer is not for everyone, this book provides many practical tools for developing a job search, and for finding a career which suits my personality.

Another great resource in this book is the resume writing guide. As a first year law student, Career Services held a (mandatory) resume-writing workshop, teaching us how to make legal resumes - which are vastly different from non-legal resumes. On the brink of looking for a non-legal job, I found myself perplexed as to what a non-legal resume was supposed to look like. This book has examples of functional resumes versus legal resumes, as well as interviewing tips which I found to be infinetly more helpful than the tips provided by Career Services over the past few years.

I was very happy with this book, and would highly recommend it to anyone who is unhappy with his or her legal career, and definetly to law students who find themselves wondering whether there might be more worthwhile careers out there.

I practiced law for 32 years and disliked it greatly much of the time. I would estimate that 90% of the lawyers that I know dislike the practice of law. I hated law school and only finished it because everyone told me that I didn't have to be a lawyer, that a law degree was very helpful in getting other jobs. The subtitle of this book would lead one to believe that the book will provide information about those jobs. In that sense the book is misleading.

There really aren't many jobs where a law degree, as such, is helpful. The author mostly lists every job that lawyers have ever taken outside of the law and obvious jobs in law related fields.

However, this book is a must read for anyone considering law school or who is greatly dissatisfied with the practice of the law. It has excellent assessment tools and practical advice as to what to look for to find greater satisfaction in one's career, whatever it might be. Many lawyers, myself included, went to law school because we didn't know what else to do and thought a law degree would be useful. With Law School costs being what they are that is NOT a good enough reason. The book explains the almost universal concerns that lawyers have with the practice of law, and also emphasizes that for the average practitioner the practice of law does NOT make them wealthy. So, if making money is one's sole motivation, other fields provide greater opportunities to do so.

This is a book like the dozens of other career change ones out there - you can find this information in publications from years ago, and with much better advice. No new information, and would only help lawyers who would lack the imagination to think of "legal publishing" or "in-house counsel" as career options. Truly unhelpul.

When I picked up this book I knew that I had always had an interest in law, but was unsure if I wanted to work for a law firm. Before going to law school I wanted an idea of exactly what my options might be after school.

This book helped me a lot. I have not made a final decision, but I am definitely closer than when I picked up the book. The two most helpful sections to me were the assessment exercises that helped me think about what skills I have and the last 2 sections on actual jobs available.

If you just want someone to tell you what job is right for you then don't choose this book. If you want/need to think about yourself, your life, your skills, and what you want your job and your life to be then this book is a tool that will help you on your journey.

I am new in the speaking profession. This book was recommended to me by a close friend. I have already put some of the techniques into practice and they have improved my workshops by 50%. This is a valuable resource to anyone hoping to become a speaker or to improve as one.

The author's bloated arrogance blocks the few good ideas he presents. If you can get past the hubris, then there are a number of worthwhile items.

First of all, the production quality of this book is crap. The thing was falling apart the first time I opened it. I dont like having to be careful with a book like this, particularly one I want to mark up, highlight, go back to time and time again.

Now then, we are getting to the point of the book in the first place. I wouldn't care if this thing was in cuneiform pressed into wet clay tablets. There is more practical and useful information in this book on how to strategically set up your speaking career than I have seen in any of the dozen or so other books that I have read. You could literally take the advice in this book - and virtually nothing else - and plan out your speaking career for the next ten years.

The author's practical trashing on some of the 'rules of thumb' of the game (e.g., raising fees) are not mere opinions: this guy has lived this and has the income history to back up his claims.

Some of the references are outdated (the book is nearly 10 years old as of my writing) so you have to get passed that. The info on how to establish yourself as an expert through writing books and creating other income streams through developing info products is sound but has been superseded by far more complete and recent writings (Stephanie Chandler's book "From Entrepreneur to Infopreneur" is a great reference for that).

The exercises on 2 PAGES (35 and 46) alone made reading this worthwhile.

The focus on offering value is the key. This is what I focus on in my own coaching and speaking and, for that matter, what I spend a lot of time teaching to my clients.

VERY highly recommended.

When I found this book, I got it from Library and after checking it out numerous times, Alan Weiss book has found a permanent place in my Library.
First of all, his writing style is frank and to the point. This book is all substance and no fluff. He focuses on speaking as a profession that provides a service. All of his advice is real world relevant. He gives straight advice regarding speakers bureaus, marketing material and his insight on how to get booked for speaking events. Out of all of the hundreds of books written on making money speaking-This is the definitive guide.

Thanks to the ideas in the book Money Talks and the training from Alan Weiss I have added an extra $100,000 to my income this year. But understand, Alan Weiss is a contrarian and if you are afraid of trying bold strategies that will separate you from the pack, then don't bother. If you want to make real money as a speaker, author, and consultant, then you need to apply his teachings today. I recommend him to all my students and workshop attendees. I am not a newbie at this. I am the author of the books Self-Marketing Secrets and Client Seduction and I teach marketing at UC San Diego and the New Client Marketing Institute. I read Money Talks over and over again to get new ideas.--Henry DeVries

Terrific workbook...great to buy along with their other book, "You Have More Money Than You Think". Can't go wrong with these guys.

I bought 3 copies of this workbook - one for each of my kids. I love that it provides the basics for them to learn budgeting, etc. and how to support themselves!

David and Tom Gardner have once again succeeded at making something difficult seem easy. As an estate planner, I know that many people avoid financial matters out of fear . . . fear that they're not smart enough to understand them. The Personal Finance Workbook puts valuable financial planning information at your fingertips and the forms to keep track of your finances are right in the book. If you are just starting out after college, or a Baby Boomer beginning to think about retirement, or someone retired, this workbook will be immediately useful. On a more personal level, as a dad, I am glad that a personal finance book like The Workbook exists. Young people who take early action on managing their finances and developing good savings habits will be infinitely better off in the long run.

James Lange, CPA/Attorney and author of Retire Secure! Pay Taxes Later: The Key to Making Your Money Last as Long as You Do

I bought this book about a year after college, when I wanted to come up with a plan to get rid of some credit card debt and begin saving money. This guide is fun and interesting, yet informative. It guides you step-by-step through good personal finance habits, and allows you to prioritize what goals you have for the future. The most insightful to me was when it asks you to name the things you spend that LEAST contribute to your happiness and MOST contribute to your happiness. I.E. - it's not wasteful if the spending improves your quality of life - versus you're just spending to spend! The workbook section asks you to guess how much you spend on things each month and then actually track your spending for 6 months to help you develop a realistic budget & see how you did. It's definitely a wake-up call to people like me, who seemed to piddle their money away without realizing exactly where it's going. This exercise helps you find the answer to that question!

I got this book a few weeks ago to get a feel for personal finance (I just turned 23 and i figured it was time) and it was oen of the best book purchases I ever made! It was laid out very simply with helpful charts and graphs so the math doesn't seem so abstract. Highly recommended!

PJ O'Rourkes books crack me up. But you still can learn from them. This book is a funny, but true, perspective on various economies. Not from a real scientific perspective, but rather "the Man on the Street".

Barring none, this is the place for a novice P.J. O'Rourke reader to start. He has been in a slight slump as of late, but he is at his peak here. I loaned my first copy to someone who never returned it. If I lose this copy, I would buy it again.

This is O'Rourke's essay on economics, in it he analyzes why some societies work economically and why some do not, regardless of geography or access to natural resources. It has often been said that to be funny you first have to be smart. Here O'Rourke demonstrates that he knows more than a little about free market economics. He posesses keen powers of observation and an even sharper wit. His innate intelligence comes through.

How much funnier would he be had he not burned out all those brain cells in the '60s? It's not likely he could be! This one is hard to top.

P.J. O'Rourke manages to dizzy his audience with a tautological series of stories, comparsions, and self-defacement and then nauseatingly spews empty paragraphs. Don't know what a tautology is? Read this book, you'll figure it out.

An author either takes pride in his ignorance or banks on his authority. O'Rourke attempts to do both, the former almost always shining through the latter. Coming away, you'll feel like you learned something. Of course you did! It just took him 10 angles, 5 anecdotes, and 8 less-than-appropriate similes to convey a Macro 101 principle. If you want a good laugh, read this book. If you want someone who knows what they're talking about, keep looking

I actually love O'Rourke's quips (even though I disagree with most of his theories and viewpoins), and I think the book is well worth buying if you ever write, or speak in public, about matters at all related to economics (including, say, making reports or giving presentations to management): go through the book with a highlighter and small sticky bookmarks and by the time you're through you'll have a hundred funny quips to enliven your next report or presentation (only pick a couple of them for each occasion, of course!-). But you won't learn much from this book -- whether you already know a lot about economics, or just about nothing; it's just too much of a "snapshot" of specific short periods of times in various places, observed very partially and reported with much more attention to being funny than to being accurate and useful.

Smug rich people and their propagandists don't make me laugh, no matter how cute they think they are.
Regarding why some countries are poor and others rich, it's not complicated. The rich nations have been imposing disastrous neoliberal economic policies upon the poor nations that concentrate wealth, destroy local economies, and decimate labor and environmental protections.
Generations of invasions and colonialism haven't helped matters either.
Moreover, those people who work for economic justice are often oppressed by the state forces the rich countries arm and train. For example, the U.S.-backed Colombian forces and paramilitaries kill a couple hundred union activists each year. Subtle Voices: Cries from Colombia and The Profits Of Extermination: How U.S. Corporate Power is Destroying Colombia

O'Rourke does what the rest of the corporatists do, they co-opt the brand "conservative" while they divert their audiences from the realities of geopolitics.
For some actual understanding of economics, I'd recommend When Corporations Rule the World andThe Corporation.

"The money hunger grows on what it feeds. So everyone is compelled to take part in the wild goose chase, and the hunger for possession gets an ever stronger hold of man. It becomes the most important part of life; every thought is on money, all the energies are bent on getting rich, and presently the thirst for wealth becomes a mania, a madness that possesses those who have and those who have not.
Existence has become an unreasoning, wild dance around the golden calf, a mad worship of God Mammon. In that dance and in that worship man has sacrificed all his finer qualities of heart and soul - kindness and justice, honor and manhood, compassion and sympathy with his fellowman. Each for himself and devil take the hindmost. Is it any wonder that in this mad money chase are developed the worst traits of man - greed, envy, hatred, and the basest passions? Man grows corrupt and evil; he becomes mean and unjust; he resorts to deceit, theft, and murder."
-Alexander Berkman

I prefer the "Private Money" equity lending book reveiwed previously, but this one turned out to be informative too. I had originally cancelled my order, but got it anyway. Good information on originating and purchasing real estate notes (discount notes from lenders/banks), and great if you are looking to find an alternative to the stock/bond market funds that most people have their IRAs invested in.

Loved this book, it helps when dealing with your IRA and 401K rollovers and envestments.

This book is a great guide to the concept of self-directed IRAs. Everyone with an IRA or 401K over $50,000 should be considering this option. There is no limit on the returns you can realise in your IRA account. Take this authors advise and go for mazimun returns on investment you control. It's legal and it makes sense. This is one of the stategies every women needs to understand to gain financial independence. Knowledge and a wealthy mindset as recommended in "A Man Is Not A Financial Plan!" helpA Man Is Not A Financial Plan! make women wealthy and wise.

This book got me started asking my financial advisor and the local bank financial advisors questions. I had been told I could not use any of my retirement funds to invest in real estate. I know better now and so do they.
Good book, this type of investing comes with risks and it is expensive because an intermediary has to be used (just a couple of things to weigh into the decision to or not to use). Not something to jump into lightly, good beginning book but recommend getting additional information on the subject and discussing it with your accountant prior to attempting it. If you do decide to plung in, do extensive research on the intermediary companies - be sure they are legit, have bullet proof references and actually ask to talk to current clients. Compare costs, services and reputation - cheapest could cost you dearly in the long run.

A good read, with lots of helpful information. Frankly, I wish there were MORE books on the subject of self directed IRA's, particularly real estate investing via self-directed IRA's. That being said, I'm convinced this is one of the best books you'll find on the subject.

If you're looking to pump up your IRA with smart real estate investments, this is a good book to have on hand. Highly recommended.
