Good advice. February 29, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Bill Poorvu's newest book provides meaningfully helpful information and guidance to those who are considering becoming professional real estate investors. An accomplished investor himself who happens to teach the topic at the Harvard Business School, he does so with a multi-layered approach which is engaging, clear and highly informative. This book has nothing in common with the multitudes of `get rich quick' books--typically largely worthless--or the hyper-technical texts that are useful only to backroom laborers. Rather, Poorvu provides advice derived from a lifetime in the real estate field designed to help the fledging understand how to enter the real estate investment world, what life is like when you do, what problems real estate businesses commonly encounter and what methodologies have succeeded for sober, successful investors who are in it for the long run. In an era of speculation and dice rolling that often results in unsatisfactory results, it is both refreshing and highly valuable advice indeed.

If you're looking for get-rich-quick-in-real-estate-schemes-for-dummies, don't look here. A recognized authority, with extensive experience in the real world as well as in academia, Poorvu does not bore us with the "models" typical of Harvard professors, nor the empty get-rich-quick schemes of most real estate authors. Instead, he presents real life stories of people who have made successful careers in real estate, following them from their first jobs and first investments, through decisions that enable them to build on their successes, survive setbacks, and balance career and family. This book is indispensable for anyone considering a career or even an avocation in real estate.
