I enjoyed this real estate book, and for me personally, the most valuable part was the beginning where the author talks about establishing your goals. Although this is an oversimplification, he basically suggests that you reverse engineer from the finances you are going to need and figure out how many properties it will take to meet that goal. Many people get stuck in the never ending rat race, always needing just one more. We all have something that we need or an amount of money that will help us pay for certain expenses, and real estate can be a way to pursue that goal. However, it is comforting to take a step back and consider your actual goals and your actual targets. It very well might not be to be a multimillionaire, and that's okay. This book recognizes that better than most.
