I'm a big fan of creating generational wealth. I've heard so much about real estate being the way to go. This book gave me everything I needed to start looking into investing. I really appreciate the golden nuggets the author gave to the audience. I recommend this book to anyone looking to learn more about investing in real estate. This book was definitely helpful.

This is a fairly quick read, and focuses on the psychology of investing rather than techniques, which is a bit unusual, but certainly helpful.

Thanks very much for the free review copy for review!!

Drawing on relatable analogies and drawing on Stewarts personal experience, The Real Estate Investing Diet is a great initial resource for those setting out to embark on their real estate investing journey. Just be prepared for a lot of comparison to diet and fitness in the beginning.

This was a quick read and a pretty good summary of the common strategies used by real estate investors ranging from wholesale closings to leases with options and seller financing options. Overall, it was both a little too long and also too short - the actual real estate investment strategies came after several sections about a dieting analogy (which was intriguing at first as I haven’t read any other books on investing that make the comparison to diet and exercise) - by the time the real estate specifics began it jumped around a lot. It wasn’t entirely clear to me who the marketing advice was for (is this for real estate agents, landlords, flippers, wholesalers?) and a quick summary at the outset about the type of investor this book is geared towards would have gone a long way. Ultimately it was 3 stars for me based on the way it flowed but I enjoyed the read, there were some solid strategies for new investors, and I will look forward to any follow ups from this author.

If you want to know anything about real estate... look no further Andre Stewart is your man. This book will have you understand more about the real estate market and how to invest in it. I knew very little about real estate and what it means to invest but Stewart breaks down what you need to know to make your real estate dreams achievable. Chapter 4 on exist and acquiring strategies is a must read. I swear if you want to know anything about how to be successful in real estate you need to read this book.

Pros - Written by a guy who started out in poverty and worked his way up (accessible to the layperson); written in a way that is easier to understand than most of these types of books

Cons - The 'diet' metaphor sometimes is taken too far; some of the advice given skirts the line; much of the advice given makes activities seem a lot easier and/or safer than they really are for the investor
