Good starting point

This book is 50% motivation, 20% life examples, and 30% quality information. The real advantage comes from the PDF attachments and "bonus CD" if you down load the audio version, log on through you desktop to download the files (it's the only way). Once you do this the book becomes very valuable. If you don't review the bonus items it's honestly a waste of time. A quick easy read/listen and very helpful with the bonus items.

Way too long

This book would be much more effective if it was a LOT shorter. The entire Part 1 just tells you why you should strive to be a "millionaire real estate investor". The second part does have some useful information including some very help worksheets on the bonus CD.

It's biggest negative is its repetition. If you made a drinking game out of this book and took a shot everytime the narrator says "millionaire real estate investor" you would be drunk after 15 minutes! On the other hand, that might be the only way to tolerate the book.

My overall assessment is that the content on Part 2 is decent, but it's very repetive and should have been compressed to having only one part.

Great book for start-ups

I have listened to this book now twice and it seems to give some solid information and worksheets. A seasoned real estate investor might find it a bit elementary, but it reinforces some other great concepts that I have taken away from other books and authors... Like Dave Ramsey. One of the quotes I like relates to how complicated real estate investing can be, or doesn't need to be. A loose quote is "Look. Your car is complicated if you break it down to that degree. But you need only turn the key to start using it. Drivers won't need to know how to break open the transmission as a prerequisite to owning a car."


I think it was great.

Best Book Period

Hands downn the best book on real estate investing that I have read. Doesn't matter what the market conditions are, if you follow the processes outlined in this book you are sure to have success. I am currently investing in real estate and this book has brought my game to the next level. I have been glued to this audio and the paperback book version since I have purchased it.

Why is this book popular? Way Too Long, Repetitive

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Cutting to the chase. Too many stories about people that have made millions in real estate. I don't need a "you can do it!" type book.

What was most disappointing about the authors’s story?

Too repetitive and too much information about things the listener doesn't need to know.

Would you be willing to try another one of Cliff Haby’s performances?

Not based on this book.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Millionaire Real Estate Investor?

The first 2 hours, and all motivational material. That's not the type of book I though I was buying.

Any additional comments?

The Derek Jeter type of references, like "keeping your eye on the ball" is so cliche. Sorry, but there are better options out there.

A Waste of Time

What disappointed you about The Millionaire Real Estate Investor?

The first 90 minutes of the book is just the author repeating platitudes about "overcoming your fear" and "getting past self doubt," over and over again. He basically said NOTHING. I thought this was a book on real estate investing, not a self help book from the 70's.

What was most disappointing about the authors’s story?

He didn't say anything. For the first 90 minutes he just kept repeating cliches. Maybe there was some good information later on but I couldn't get past all the repetitive nonsense. It wasted my valuable time.

Any additional comments?

To all authors, PLEASE just give us information. If you want to do a pep talk that is not related to the advertised subject matter, put it in a 5-10 minute introduction and then MOVE ON. Some of us don't have endless time for your hokey stories and platitudes.

Buy this audiobook

For the beginner and master alike. This book will offer an excellent introduction as well as dispel many of the myths associated with real estate. This book also offers an excellent introduction to personal finance for the novice real estate investor.

I have listened to all the books on real estate currently offered by Audible. This book is by far the best. I have listened to it five times all the way through. The steps it outlines are conservative, field tested, and relevant.

It makes the highly complicated process seem easy.

Some good/repetitive

This book has some good phrases and ideas that are helpful...the niche makes you rich was probably the one that I glommed onto the most. It could have been shorter, was a bit repetitive and is probably more for the beginner.

Narrator is easy to listen to and nice to have female voice as a break from the main narrator.

90% Fluff; Buy a different book

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

This book is good for those who want fluff and encouragement, but not that many actual strategies. The book gives general idea of how to become successful, but lacks core education beyond the extreme basics.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Another RE Investment book.

Really good book !!!

I've been reading a lot of real estate books and this one is very good it has a smooth layout, and gives good guidelines. There's only so much detail you can get from a book after a while though. To learn anymore you would have to start taking advanced classes or even better yet . . . actually buying a property!!
