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. |
