Introduction

The introduction to the book highlights that fortunes can be made or lost in real estate investing and that real estate markets are cyclical. These cycles can last for years and even decades. Anyone can make money when investing in rapidly rising markets just through dumb luck. However, an experienced real estate investor that takes the time to strategize and properly plan, can make money (and not lose money) in all real estate markets. The purpose of the book is to teach and expand the reader's knowledge base by conveying the most common strategies and tools consistently used by most successful real estate investors.
