5 comments about Complete Guide to Real Estate Tax Liens and Foreclosure Deeds: Learn in 7 Days-Investing Without Losing Series (Investing Without Losing).

1. A good book that demistifies any confusion about tax sales throughout the country. Easy to read and easy to follow. Breaks down all the information into an organization fashion. Unfortunately, the author's website isn't working.



2. This book is very easy to understand. It gives you step by step information and resources on tax liens and deed. I would recommend this book to any one that wants to know about tax lien and deeds.



3. I read this book in just a couple of days and found it to be simple yet very informative. I probably will not be jumping into investing into liens and deeds right away until I research some more, but this book is definitely one to read first before starting your adventure. It is definitely not boring and I highly recommend it to anyone who, like me, is just starting to learn about this type of investing.



4. I got burned on this recent financial crisis and was looking for some new ways to invest without being burned. When i heard about tax liens on the john beck program but didn't want to pay for thousands just to read info about it, I bought this book. An eye opener for sure, there are risks but at the same time there are guides on here and online county listings on the free web site. Highly recommended.



5. Excellent book if you are interested in tax liens. Covers the topic throughly. Includes web site addresses that are useful for tax liens.
   Highly recommend.

5 comments about Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water, Revised Edition.

1. This book was an alarming, eye-opening account of how the United States is running out of it's own water resources that provide for many of desert urban areas. Why is it that we are settling in areas that are not natural for us as human beings to live in, and depleting our water resources and damaging natural beauty in order to live in seemingly uninhabital areas, such as Las Vegas, and Phoenix? This book looks to address this and much much more. A great read for anyone interested in enviromental politics and issues in the U.S..



2. Cadillac Desert is a plodding book that spends more time making sideways remarks about its characters than establishing it's own narrative. Plagued by numerous typographical errors, it reads in fits and starts. While its message of government excess and because-we-can justification for modifying the natural landscape is surely worthwhile, if repetitive, the fact of the matter is that two generations of farmers, ranchers and urbanites in the American West looked to the Bureau of Reclamation as the only organization suited to develop their water resources. The dated material is noticeable at times--who but a civil engineer now knows of the Teton Dam failure? why the concern over the Central Arizona Project that has operated for nearly two decades?--and the treatment of the material is done with an eye toward stirring the reader's emotions more than informing them. Donald Worster's Rivers of Empire deals with much the same material in a more thorough and even-handed, though academic, manner.



3. Essential reading for anyone living in the American West or living in the East and subsidizing water rates in the West.



4. This was a return engagement to "Cadillac Desert", as I had read the original in the 1980s, amazed at the time, considering it a premier example of thorough history and analysis in a subject about which few people knew much at all. What could have been a "dry" subject was actually quite gripping and informative, and fortunate to have many participants in key moments still available.
   
   In that sense the author was ahead of his time, documenting essential history that looks all the more important twenty years later. No doubt the book would still be fresh history to many, especially if supplemented by some other source on more current topics. I can only imagine what Mr. Reisner would think of the explosive growth of Las Vegas in the barren Nevada desert in recent years.
   
   I finally got to the revised edition and certainly feel the loss of Marc Reisner, who would have had plenty of material for another revision or two. The additional material is a plus, although it, too, has been around long enough for either edition to be a worthwhile reference.
   
   The growth of Los Angeles and the whole situation with the Owens Valley, San Fernando Valley, William Mulholland, the Chandlers, and so on, is exceptional, and can be read almost on its own. Perhaps there is a more definitive history, with more emphasis on some individuals or some other angle. Reisner packs a punch, laying it all out bluntly, including the fraud and corruption along with social and technical aspects.
   
   Another favorite was the early history of the unexplored West, such as John Wesley Powell's prescience and his journey down the virgin Colorado. How much the region has changed in such a short time, and how extensive were our errors.
   
   This is a first-rate history.



5. This was an outstanding book. Filled with a lot of information I had only partially known, and seldom understood. The story of thousands of dams built for no reason other then to keep two Federal agencies in business. Some success and some death causing failures. A must read for anyone west of the Mississippi with a interest in the historical infrastructure of the western states despite the massive mishandling of Federal funds to aid in ecological disaster. A true study in government math at alludes us all.

5 comments about The Smartest 401k Book You'll Ever Read: Maximize Your Retirement Savings...the Smart Way!.

1. Book concentrates on how retirement advisers benefit themselves. It is probably all true. It is also a book that can be written about anyone who provides advice and services of any kind. Caveat emptor.



2. Very helpful. Concrete information, easy to understand. I've recommended it to several friends. Good info for teachers w/403b accounts.



3. i like this book ... but it really assumes you know a little bit about investing. the clear " take home" message is accentuated at the end of every chapter, which is nice.. but i still felt a bit stupid as i read it.
   i think it is a good book.... easy to read... but not the " omg" i had hoped for.



4. I really enjoyed Solin's little Smartest Investment book, so I decided to check out his 401K book also.
   
   Solin is a DFA advisor so he promotes DFA index funds. He cites some papers which show that investing in DFA funds gives higher returns than using Vanguard Index funds. He forgets to mention that DFA advisors usually charge a 1% ER, so the return of DFA funds must be incrementally higher by 1% over the return of Vanguard index funds invested by the do-it-yourselfer.
   
   Solin correctly rails that 403B's are terrible investment plans for teachers. He cites the case where the NEA was sued for collecting $50M in fees from investment providers.
   
   Solin also points out that the Supreme Court said it was ok for Congress to retroactively change the tax laws for 10 years! This could be the justification Congress needs to begin taxing your IRA's, 401K's, and Roth IRA's not only on the current date, but 10 years retroactively! Very interesting food for thought.
   
   Solin also correctly advocates that 401K funds should have to divulge actual expenses incurred versus hiding them so the investor can't find them.
   
   One thing that Solin did not provide was a rule of thumb for deciding whether to invest in a high cost 401K investment or use a low cost taxable investment. I have seen some rules-of-thumb saying that if the 401K investment has total expenses over about 2% ER, then skip the 401K and go to a low cost taxable investment in index mutual funds.
   
   Other than recommending DFA funds over Vanguard funds, I don't disagree with any of the 401K advice Solin gives in his book. If a DFA advisor with the 1% fee is what you need to control your behavioral finance tendencies to sell low and buy high.......then the 1% fee is probably worth it.
   
   All in all, a very educational and short read for 401K investors.

5 comments about Rich Dad's Real Estate Advantages: Tax and Legal Secrets of Successful Real Estate Investors.

1. Very informative. This book is full of great strategies of how to maximize your return and how to protect your real estate investments and retire comfortably. You will learn how to choose the right asset protection for your investments, how to maximize your real estate investments to your retirement advantage, the use of 1031 exchange to pass on assets to your kids without paying capital gain tax, how to mix and match business entities if you have multiple RE investments in different states, learn the advantages and disadvantages of a Nevada, Wyoming, California, Texas corporation or LLC. After reading this book, I attended a seminar with the co-author lawyer, Garrett Sutton, at a National Real Estate Investment Club Expo in L.A Convention Center. We had a Q&A after his presentation. This guy really knows his stuff. He seems to be a nice and humble person. If you are a RE investor or thinking of becoming one, I highly recommend this book. I also recommend that you consult with his office for asset protection. He does business over the phone for all states. You can also get lots of tips and info in Garrett Sutton's websites.



2. This book does for real estate investing what Pimsleur does for language learning: it teaches you to speak the real estate language, to ask knowledgeable questions, and to make informed decisions.
   
   I have been through dozens of books, tapes, and CD programs on investing in real estate. Some are strictly motivational with little useful information. Others are like reference works and cannot be read from beginning to end. Still others hope to be meaningful forever and so dare not give you anything too current, or disputable and likely to change. Lechter and Sutton, however, wrote a book to turn a dreamer into a real estate investor. If that's what you still want at the end - but you have all the info to make the decision. Other reviewers might say that there are no "secrets" in this book - true, I suppose - but if YOU don't have a tutor for the subject, then for YOU common knowledge is a secret!
   
   The authors give separate advice for dealing with primary residence and for investment properties. Most other books blur these separate cases. Special cases where individual state law might differ from the general situations are pointed out. Case studies and repetition are used throughout - much like Pimsleur uses conversation in each language lesson. The reader brings everything learned earlier to each case, but is stretched just a bit to see why each case is unique. Each chapter builds on prior chapters. Included is the required amount of math, but this is clearly not a math book. On the contrary, it is an enjoyable read cover-to-cover. Some of the material is current as of 2006 and this is clearly noted. I hope this book gets updated every few years.
   
   While technically part of the Rich Dad series, the book stands on its own. The reader is fully aware of the few tacked-on references to the Rich Dad philosophy.
   
   This book is a must-read for anyone thinking about a career in real estate investing in all its forms. Consider it the second book you read - after something like "Home Buying for Dummies."



3. It certainly should be in your library. You're sure to find at least one or two nuggets that will more than pay for the book.
   
   Perhaps you'd like to look into this one too:
   
   The WealthLoop Series Beginner's Guide to Building Wealth Buying Houses: The Foolproof Roadmap to Real Estate Riches Without the Risks and Hassles of Landlording.



4. What can you say? It's another rich dad book. Very informative and written primarily by professionals with an in-depth view. The book is a good read for anyone. It gave me a lot to think about and some things to discuss with my team. No dull spots in this book. Read it cover to cover in a few days. Worth reading twice.



5. I bought my first property just before I purchased this book. I received it just before an international business trip, and didn't get any sleep on the flight because I was pouring over the basic concepts and ideas that fill this wonderful book.
   
   If you are already in real estate and know the basics, you may not need this book. If you already have your team of advisors and know who to go for when you have questions, you may not need this book. If you understand the differences between LLCs and LP and why one is better in California than in Nevada, you may not need this book.
   
   For most beginning real estate investors, this book is just the right amount and just the right speed to get started. Garrett and Sharon don't look at the buy-and-flip models, but rather at the advantages of staying in real estate, building a portfolio, and intelligently upgrading your properties (1031 Exchanges). They also go over the long-term planning aspects of inheritance and how to move your properties to family members with minimal taxes. They don't profess a silver bullet, but rather a rational plan to financial success through real estate.
   
   Verdict: Highly recommended.

5 comments about More than Enough: The Ten Keys to Changing Your Financial Destiny.

1. This book by Dave Ramsey has much of the same basic principles contained in his books Financial Peace and The Total Money Makeover. The main difference comes in that More Than Enough is oriented towards his philosophy on life. The state of arriving at "More Than Enough" is the end goal for the path Ramsey encourages the reader to follow. This place does not necessarily mean material wealth but is more a state of consciousness and arrival at contentment. The way one arrives at "More Than Enough" is by taking ownership of contentment.
   
   Ramsey says: "When you have contentment you can easily get out of debt. When you have contentment you can easily save and invest. When you are content it changes your giving habits and your relationships. When you are content it brings an inner strength that will push you into another zone. You are able to move fast or slow, and you are able to have patience or intensity when you are content. "
   
   He further discusses this concept by talking about happiness and what it is and what it's not. He says, "Happiness that is dependent on someone else's actions or on the purchase of stuff is not real happiness, and chasing happiness there shows you haven't reached true contentment." This can be so difficult to remember as we go through life and are constantly bombarded with advertising and media trying to convince us we need something bigger or better. Our own human nature also gets in the way of this and can prevent true happiness and contentment by a "gotta have a little bit more or a little bit better" mentality.
   
   The main sections focus on topics such as goal setting, having patience, being accountable to others, discipline, and being generous with one's time and resources.
   
   A feature of the book that is also present in Financial Peace is the "Thoughts from Sharon" section in which Dave's wife Sharon provides some of her insights on the preceding topic. This helps to add color and a slightly different feel to the book than if it were absent. Another component included from the other books is the financial planning forms. These allow the reader to walk through his or her current financial situation and determine net worth, budgeting, paying off debt, planning ahead for big purchases, and generally arriving at a state of financial peace. Another similar component to Financial Peace is the inclusion of steps at the end of each chapter which summarize the key concepts. In More Than Enough , Dave terms them "Keys to the More Than Enough mansion."
   
   Much of the material is repeated from the other books but it does move beyond the strict focus on money and financial decisions. The order of Ramsey's books that I recommend is first Financial Peace followed by The Total Money Makeover and then More Than Enough.



2. Dave's is a must read if you want to wim with money and win in life.



3. It is an excellent book, very well written and easy to read. I am trying to follow his plan now and I feel it is also going to work very well!



4. I purchased this book to have a small group study at my church. This book has stimulated and overwhelming response. The women come from various backgrounds and this book touches them all. It is very easy reading and very basic. It gives you hope and encouragement when you may feel there is no way out. Women that have never lived on a budget are now tracking all of their spending. Next year we are going to study another book by Dave Ramsey. He is an excellent instructor that gives you the basic principles, and keeps much laughter til the end. I recommend this for anyone that aspires to want "MORE THAN ENOUGH".



5. I can say that this man and all his products have help thousands of people. His plan for us to get out of Debt has changed our lives for good. I don't think that there are words on this earth to explain how excited we are to be getting our of debt,saving money, and being able to help other do the same.. I highly recommend his products to everyone that is in debt.. If he doesn't get you excided I dont know who will..

5 comments about Baking Soda: Over 500 Fabulous, Fun, and Frugal Uses You've Probably Never Thought Of (Lansky, Vicki).

1. Great little book with lots of cool info. on how to use common baking soda in ways you never dreamed possible. Perfect for anyone trying to do natural cleaning methods without using harsh chemicals.



2. Great information and details on how to use baking soda instead of other less environmentally friendly cleaners.



3. If you are tired of using harmful or expensive products or just want to know some old-fashioned remedies, this is the book for you. As the title says, it contains over 500 ideas covering a wide variety of subjects-- stain removal, cooking, health problems, cleaning, even some organic pest control. I guarantee you will find many new uses for baking soda, even if you are already a believer in it's powers!



4. Vicki Lansky's one-woman tribute to sodium bicarbonate boggles the mind. In her own mother's words, "Who would believe she could have come up with all these uses?"
   
   Everyone knows you can cook with baking soda: it makes bread rise. It's a natural antacid. Dentists say you can brush your teeth with it. And it's quite common for to see an open box in the fridge for food odor absorption.
   
   But did you know that fridge box is only good for 3 months? After that, its freshening properties are used up. Get another box. What to do with the used-up, old box? Well, Lansky's got ideas for that, such as sprinkling the powder around the soil of tomato plants to lower their acidity and discourage pests. I haven't tried this one, yet.
   
   So, okay, I'm game. I tried a few of these `uses' and hard a darned good time doing it. My fiance thinks I'm nuts for getting so excited over baking soda, but likes that the product is undeniably cheap.
   
   Playing with powder
   Here are the ideas from the book that I tried, and how it all went.
   
   
   * Laundry Booster - On the book's recommendation, I added a ½ cup to my washer load, along with my detergent. Not only did my colors and whites come out brighter, but even my workout clothes smelled nice when I took them out. Lanksy notes this boosting effect only works with liquid laundry detergents, however. I suspect the deodorizing effect works with either kind.
   
   * Garbage Disposal Maintenance - When I noticed a stink arising from the disposal afer a weekend away, I immediately poured a ½ cup down the drain, followed by vinegar. It bubbled and frothed and took the nasty scent away. I didn't even need to run water after it.
   
   * Garbage Can Odors - This one's easy - sprinkle over wet, nasty garbage to remove the odor. My take is that you need too much soda to really get the odor out. It's better to just take out the garbage. But I did find that sprinkling a little soda in the garbage can bottom, between changing the bags, was helpful.
   
   * Carpet Cleaner - Sprinkle over the carpet and let sit overnight. Use a cheese shaker or flour sifter to spread it evenly - otherwise it either clumps, or all comes out at once. Vacuum in the morning. This old technique still works great. As the proud owner of two dogs, I can verify how well baking soda works to dissolve canine odor.
   
   * Tarnished Silver - I tried two baking soda techniques for cleaning silver and was pleasantly surprised with both.
   
   In the past, I used harsh-smelling chemical products, the kind that's impregnated in a wad of wool, to scrub, scrub, scrub my silver. The process was always messy and stinky. On really old, dirty, heirloom silver, it didn't even work at all, besides stripping away my silver plate to reveal the copper beneath.
   
   Blech. These methods are MUCH better:
   
   1. Baking soda and water, mixed into a paste, cleans the tarnish right away. Spread the goop all over your silver item, let it sit for ten minutes, then rub with your fingers (or an old toothbrush) until dirty baking soda paste falls away. Rinse, buff - and if necessary - repeat. This method cleaning and safely bids the grime begone from my stemware and plates.
   
   2. The other method is great for utensils. Fill a plastic bucket, or your sink with hot water. Add a square of aluminum foil. Sprinkle your silver with baking soda, drop into hot water, and let sit 15 minutes. Take out the silver and buff with a soft cloth. My silver turned clean and shiny with very little effort!



5. This book is a wonderful resource for anyone that wants to 'green' up their housecleaning, and it also gives tons of ideas on uses for baking soda. I have been trying to eliminate harmful chemicals from my household as much as possible now that I have a little one on the way. This book along with Vinegar: Over 400 Various, Versatile, and Very Good Uses You've Probably Never Thought Of by the same auther, and Green Housekeeping by Ellen Sandbeck provide a well rounded reference for using natural products instead of chemicals for just about any job around the house from cleaning appliances, sinks, tubs and toilets, to cleaning jewelry and composting. Even if you only take a handful of the ideas from these books they are worth the investment. This book is set up so that you can easily look up a job you want to accomplish in the index and go right to the appropriate page.

5 comments about America's Cheapest Family Gets You Right on the Money: Your Guide to Living Better, Spending Less, and Cashing in on Your Dreams.

1. I read this book a while ago when I took an interest in personal finance. It includes lots and lots of helpful tips like describing how to freeze food (wrap bagged bread inside a grocery bag to prevent freezer burn) and describing how they and their friends have saved money in the past.
   I don't know the source, but there is a triangle concerning goods. The three sides are price, quality, and time and you can't have all of them. You have to sacrifice quality if you want a better price in the same amount of time. The book emphasizes planning ahead and looking around. This book, like other books on the same topic, encourages creative thinking. Rather than going straight to a retail store to buy a new entertainment center, check yard sales, craigslist, etc. because people give those away all the time when they move. This can be applied to most purchases. A little preparation and brainstorming goes a long way. The Economides family really gets this across in their book.



2. This is a book I'd recommend to select readers, and which I'm happy I read. It seems to combine some basic financial advice with the general idea of consuming less, and consuming more mindfully while we're at it. The first substantive chapter is probably my favorite, all about grocery shopping. It drills down to some very specific tips for grocery shopping, but the main theme sort of screamed out at me: The more trips you make to the store, the more you spend, and specifically - the more you spend on impulse buys. Plan ahead. Make fewer trips to the store. When you're there, stick with the list! Many of the chapters were about things that I feel didn't really speak to me - buying used cars, planning inexpensive vacations, finding inexpensive medical insurance. Although I have no children yet, I really enjoyed one of the ending chapters about having children earn their weekly allowance and teaching them how to budget and save. I think that chapter's great, actually, and I hope I remember this book when I do have kids! I think the domestically-minded will enjoy this book - anyone living on one parent's income, any families (with or without kids) with an eye to living more frugally. People who are horrified by concepts of planning ahead probably won't do too much with the book's advice.



3. I read it first and it does have some good lessons on how to plan ahead for things. Not great lessons that can really be used today, but good ones.



4. only 4 out of 5 stars cuz i'm not done reading it yet (so who knows!) but i found out i do a lot of smart things already, but was able to gain some GREAT information also, very easy read does not make saving $ complicated, it did have most of what i was hoping for so far (such as grocery stuff). would recommend!



5. Just, plain things you already know like.
   cut back on extras on your phone bill.
   use your cell after 9:00pm. calls are free.
   buy for a month.
   I think the tightwad gazette.
   would save you more.
   and miserly moms and you can afford to stay home.

5 comments about The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need.

1. This is a good read for those of us looking to improve our financial health and know only a little about investing. No magic solutions here: save money and invest wisely. But what does investing wisely mean exactly? Read this book for more. The author reviews concepts we know about the benefits of compound interest and the wisdom of index funds, and he does this by using his own stories to make this dry subject a bit more fun. The version I read didn't have a section on ETFs so you'll have to look elsewhere for that information.



2. I found this book very readable and full of excellent information. Although not all the latest vehicles are included, the information is useful for the typical investor. It is easy to read and understand by the beginning investor.



3. It is funny how several reviewers criticize the author's recommendation to "not lose money", while that is the number one rule from the richest person on the planet, Warren Buffett.
   They miss the fact that there is more to that statement that its simple basic message.
   I too have read a number of investment books and I found this one to shine above the rest for a simple reason: It covers a wide range of basic investment options, without equivocating, and goes into just enough detail to explain the investment without bogging down the reader with unnecessary details. If the reader wants more info, they can certainly continue researching.
   I really like the fact that the author gives definite thumbs-up or thumbs-down to certain investment vehicles (and gives good reasons why), where other advisors hem and haw about even the most ridiculous ideas such as annuities.
   Some reviewers claim this book is for beginners while others say that it's NOT for amateurs. I think it requires some basic knowledge but overall is a great reference and guide to get the average investor on track to a good solid foundation in investing and well on their way to a respectable portfolio. Any expectations beyond that are totally misguided.



4. I've read a lot of personal finance books and this one has some of the best information I've found. If you are interested in personal finance and investing, you should definitely read this book!
   
   Tobias writes in a witty style to keep the reader's attention while providing detailed information on investing that I haven't found anywhere else. He begins with information on how to save money on personal expenses like dining out and vacations. There are several good tips in this section. Then he moves on to retirement accounts and saving for education. He explains each type of account in detail and includes every kind I know of.
   
   His sections on bonds and stock investing are really informative. He explains items like treasury bills and TIPs and their advantages. He explains all kinds of bonds (I-bonds, corporate bonds, municiple bonds) and provides his recommendation on whether you should own them or not and why. I especially found his section on stock market investing useful. He has explanations of a stock's beta, buying on margin, options, selling short, LEAPS and penny stocks and explains the pitfalls that often get investors into trouble.
   
   The last portion of the book talks a bit about estate planning and also some very clever methods of teaching your kids about saving and investing.
   
   I like the author's philosophy on investment strategies and agree with most of his advice. This book covers a lot of topics in personal finance and is both a great reference and a fun read. I highly recommend it to others!!!



5. I bought this book in 1999 and read it annually. I always laugh out loud and recommend it to everyone I meet who is not and does not want to be an "expert" in the market but does want honest, forthright, expert advise on what's what in personal finance and investments. I re-read it recently and 10 years after it's release it's still dead on. I hope he updates it again soon cause the internet is even better than it was when he wrote this and there are even more investment "schemes" out there to AVOID!
