"This book establishes a new standard for real estate authors. Kemp gives her readers delightfully written prose packed with her wealth of experiences. She lays out so many profit-generating (and loss-avoiding) ideas that while reading the manuscript my highlighter never got a rest."
--Gary Eldred, Trump University Professor of Real Estate, coauthor of the bestseller Investing in Real Estate
