The Insider's Guide to Real Estate

The goal of this book is to help you discover some of the secrets in real estate that the average person is not aware of. Knowing these secrets - or tricks - or inside scoop - whatever you want to call it, will give you that edge and turn you into a smart investor.

You see, real estate is one activity where curiosity does NOT kill the cat. The more you're curious about the business of selling and buying property, the better will be your grasp of the mysteries that only a select few have unravelled through their diligence and hard work. Many of them will not share these mysteries with you...because they're worried that you might cut into their slice of the profit pie.

Untold fortunes have been made in real estate; it would not be surprising if during the last 5-7 years, some ordinary mortals have become instant millionaires, thanks to the feverish upswing in the industry.

The world of real estate has changed; people are now considering going into it as one of the sure fire ways to a golden future.

So...we ask: how do they do it?

For a few, it's sheer luck, given the recent real estate boom; for most others, however, it's that they have legal inside knowledge - the kind that outsiders are not privy to.

Success coaches and motivators will tell you that to be successful in any endeavour - real estate included - you must get the TOTAL picture, not just half of it. You must get to know the TWO SIDES OF THE COIN, and discover a hidden third side, if there's one.

This insider's guide to real estate therefore you provides guiding principles that you can tap to your advantage.

You'll get the whole piece of pie, not just a half-baked tart (no pun intended), the two to three sides of the coin, or both ends of the spectrum, if you will.

So we searched far and wide to get into the minds of not only sellers but also buyers and real estate brokers. We'll also throw in some facts on the financing options in real estate.
