There is a lot of BAD stuff written about real estate and a little bit of GOOD stuff ... start by finding and reading some of these good books (google "John T Reed" and see which books he recommends and which ones he pans).

The truth is that most people MAKE money through a business, then KEEP money by investing in real estate. If you can't (or won't) start a business (even on the side) then you can at least accelerate your LIFE SAVINGS PLAN by buying and holding income-producing real-estate.

Right now, it's very simple:

1. If you don't yet own your own home (but would like to) BUY one now and LOCK in the interest for 30 years.

Why?

Home prices are relatively cheap (if you think they will get cheaper then wait a little longer ... if you're not SURE they will get cheaper, buy now).

Money is cheap - morgage rates are probably 2% lower than they will be by 2009 or 2010.

You want to keep buying that cheap money for as long as possible ...

... but, only IF you are prepared to take the next step, which is to ...

Assess the increased equity (what your house is worth - what you still owe) in your house yearly and use that excess equity to buy another as soon as you can scrape up a reasonable deposit (20% if you are conservative).

Lock in the interest rates for 30 years; rent the property out; keep raising rents; reassess the value of all of your properties yearly.

3. Repeat 2. until Rich!

Now, this will take 10 to 30 years; to accelerate: start that business and use the excess cashflow to buy more investment properties rather than Porsches!

Simple ... and, you couldn't be starting at a better time in history!

The points of entry and exit are very important when buying real estate, as they are with any other investments. Right now in many parts of US and Canada carrying cost of real estate properties are twce or more the rent you can get for these properties, which means that you'll be losing a lot of money if you buy at current prices and rent it out.

Making investment in real estate is, no doubt, much more profitable than any other investment but it is also important to know that this investment must be with utmost care and investment in only those properties or lands would be beneficial which are expected to prosper in future.

How did he do it? He was smart and recognized housing and apartment bubbles before the burst and sold his holdings. Then kept repeating the cycle.

How can anyone do it? Not everyone can. It takes due dilligence, a savvy real estate "expert", and quite a bit of capital to really make as much as he did off of real estate alone.

If you're willing to put in the work (go to seminars, take real estate classes, do your research, take on equity partners, etc) and do everything possible to become successful in real estate investing...you could certainly do it. It's just not as easy as Kiyosaki makes it seem. There's a lot of risk and debt leveraging involved.
