After beating back a slump a decade ago, real estate has rebounded in a big way for the Millenium, offering a hot investment vehicle that even novices can ride to riches. The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing clearly shows that the secret in getting rich lies not in get-rich-quick schemes but rather in investing in a commodity that has been around since the beginning of time -- terra firma, property. A small capital investment today can be leveraged into huge profits tomorrow. Readers learn how to buy and manage every type of investment property, from houses to condos to large units to commercial property to land for development; value property correctly; live through the "due diligence" period; handle tenant problems without turning into an 'evil' landlord.
