Tailor your approach to real estate investing with this valuable book from the co-hosts of The BiggerPockets Podcast; their life-changing, customized advice “will catapult you 5-10 years ahead of where you are now” (Ryan Harris, Super Bowl 50 Champion and real estate investor). 

Real estate investing can be a powerful way to build wealth and achieve true financial freedom. But it can be hard to know where to start: From BRRRR and flipping to short-term and long-term rentals, how do you know whether a real estate strategy fits your personality, lifestyle, and financial goals?

In this groundbreaking guide, two of the biggest names in the real estate business have teamed up to write the most comprehensive manual ever. How to Invest in Real Estate is the ultimate strategy guide to help you achieve personal and financial success through real estate investing. Josh Dorkin and Brandon Turner—longtime hosts of the world’s #1 real estate podcast, The BiggerPockets Podcast—use their insider knowledge to help you find the strategies and opportunities in real estate that match your resources and your goals.

Unlike most traditional real estate books, this one won’t tell you there is “one secret path” to success in real estate investing. Instead, you’ll find dozens of unique paths to profitability and discover more than forty inspiring true stories from real estate investors who are succeeding in today’s economy.

Inside, you’ll learn:
How to balance a full-time job with real estate projects—and earn more from both!
All about LLCs, corporations, and getting your friends and family on board with real estate investing 
Eight unique property types and twenty-eight fantastic methods for finding great deals
Eleven powerful strategies for building wealth through real estate

    I just finished the book and it gave me the confidence I needed to go chase my dream. As it so happens, I have a coworker who found out about my interest after we talked about this book and he also does a little bit of investment. Thanks to this book, I am currently able to start analyzing and preparing for my first purchase!

    As a very new investor in Real Estate, this book has provided so much quality information and so many options. It can definitely feel like a lot of information, however; the knowledge provided in this book by the incredible authors has allowed me to pinpoint exactly what needs to be done by identifying my MINS, and of course, taking action. Definitely recommend!
