Discover how to buy and finance property to produce income and build wealth with the bible on real estate investment—revised and updated for the post-COVID market
Since its debut publication nearly two decades ago, Building Wealth One House at a Time has established itself as the go-to guide for everyday investors seeking proven strategies for buying and financing properties. The latest edition, completely updated and featuring 5 all-new chapters, continues to be the best resource for making your first million in real estate.
As a nationally recognized expert with demonstrable success over five decades, real estate investor John Schaub shows you how you can accumulate a million dollars of houses debt free, with a steady cash flow for life. In Building Wealth One House at a Time, Third Edition, he shows how his time-tested method works in the post-Covid market, and how an ethical approach to buying, financing and managing property can help you weather any real estate climate.
You’ll discover how to choose houses that will make you the most money, how to know how much a house is worth before you make an offer, how to borrow without going to a bank, and more. Additional new chapters provide savvy advice on how to buy with cash flow in any market, negotiate benefits (not price), and how buying right separates the rich from the rest. You’ll also learn how to implement the ideas in this book while you’re working another job, or transitioning from working to full-time investing.
New chapters include:
- Change Happens, Are You Ready?
- Do You Want to Be Rich or Earn a Lot of Money?
- Retiring Sooner with More
- Keep It Simple—Investing with Fewer Moving Parts
- The Tax Advantages of Investing in Property
