Take your advice from those who have done it ...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Robert Shemin gives more information and ideas in Secrets of Buying... than one very famous real estate writer gives in four books and another charges thousands of dollars for. It is not a "get rich quick" plan. Remember to get your information from those who know what they are talking about and have done what you want to do, and Shemin is that man. You will always need more information, experts in your area, and experts in different fields of real estate; and Shemin states this in his book. One real estate book will not solve all of your problems or answer all of your questions, but the bottom line is that this one gives you more than most. I will continue to go back to this book for ideas and to fine tune my investing skills for years. The only thing missing is him taking you by the hand to take action. Take responsability, be persistant, read, educate yourself, stay positive, be careful who you take advice from, take action, and stay positive.
PLAIN SIMPLE ENGLISH

This is by far one of the best books on RE Investing I have read yet. Mr. Shemin brings some new ideas into the world of REI book writing. He mentions creative ways to invest that you normally wouldn't think of, gives examples that are simple and easy to understand, what to do and what not to do concerning contracts in order to protect yourself, and too many other new ideas to mention in this small space. If you are just beginning or are an experienced investor, I would reccommend this book to all levels of investors.
I have been wainting for this book!

I do business in Los Angeles and this book is worth more than any single property north of Sunset Blvd. Robert Shemin has an unbeatable system and "Secrets of Buying and Selling Real Estate...Without Using Your Own Money!" is a terrific new addition. His program is about making heaps of $$$ with smarts and heart - a recipe for a happy rich life. I would not be where I am today without this wonderful man's advice. Every successful investor I have encountered over the past few years has shared my admiration for the Shemin system. He's one of the greats and this book (along with his other books) will teach you why and how you can apply his business skills and work ethic to build your own little empire.

The Sheminator is Back!

Once again, Robert Shemin, boils the complex world of real estate down in to simple techniques that anyone can use. Now his most recent book takes away the final excuse for not making it big in real estate investing....the start-up capital. Robert is a true mentor, a businesss guru insided and outside of real estate, comical, honest, and to the point.Robert Shemin is the next Bob Allen....only he is in the trenches making deals not just reliving the past. This, of course, makes the input from this book the most CURRENT read as of late in todays marketplace, and it is NOT old 1980's techniques. Fresh, genuine, and quite helpful!
