A Fortune at Your Feet

More about the book

I teach a beginning real estate class at the College of Alameda, in CA. I use this book as a text. Mr. Kessler's presents an excellent introduction to investing because it focuses on the importance of people, not the technical aspects of property analysis. He presents powerful and unique ways for the average investor to create "good deals" when buying real estate. By focusing on finding sellers who have a problem, and teaching the readers to be problem solvers, this book becomes a valuable resource for the real estate entrepreneur. If you can solve people problems with creative purchases, you don't need extensive analytical tools. In fact, if you can't analyze a real estate purchase on a napkin, it is probably not a doable deal. My students like the author's emphasis on what wealth is and how to maintain it. And they love the "real world" examples. We discuss and elaborate on them in class every week. I highly recommend the book.
