Are you tired of seeing the amazing success of others investing in markets better suited for buy and hold real estate and wish that could be you? Do you want to take advantage of wealth building opportunities but are frustrated by the fact there just isn’ t any way to do that until the next market crash? Real estate investing is one of the greatest vehicles to build wealth, but it doesn’ t make sense in every market. Some locations provide incredible returns, while others make it almost impossible to find a single property that profits. Traditionally, investing out of state has been considered risky and unwise. But the rules, technology, and markets have changed: No longer are you forced to invest only in your backyard! In his book, real estate investor and police officer David Greene shows you exactly how he’ s built a multi-million dollar portfolio on blue-collar wages buying out of state rental property without ever even seeing it.

Rich Dad Poor Dad Robert Kiyosaki R140 at Takealot Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert’ s story of growing up with two dads: his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explores the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you. In the 20th Anniversary Edition of this classic, Robert offers an update on what we’ ve seen over the past 20 years related to money, investing, and the global economy. Sidebars throughout the book will take readers“ fast forward” from 1997 to today, as Robert assesses how the principles taught by his rich dad have stood the test of time. In many ways, the messages of Rich Dad Poor Dad, messages that were criticized and challenged two decades ago, are more meaningful, relevant and important today than they were then. As always, readers can expect that Robert will be candid, insightful... and continue to rock more than a few boats in his retrospective. Will there be a few surprises? Count on it.
