5 comments about Robert's Guide to Commercial Real Estate Investments: Insider Secrets to Commercial Real Estate Investing.

1. I worked in the CRE industry for a few years and found myself frustrated from the lack of clear easy to understand, detailed industry information available. Robert's Guide is the answer to that problem. The book is full of terms and definitions that are hard to find, but essential for anybody involved in commercial real estate. The explanations were thorough with insightful tips and recommendations to make a sometimes convoluted subject matter, easy to understand, digest, and make decisions about. I strongly recommend this book.



2. Finally, a book that is written for those not necessarily experts in the field. The author makes all the applications very understandable. Well written, clear and concise. Thank you Mr. Morse.



3. This book explains commercial real estate very well. It is an easy read but is very informative. I really like all of the calculations it gives in regards to the time value of money. Very helpful!!



4. This is a great little book that covers the basics from an experienced insider... It has a broad overview of the industry, discusses the basics of the different things an investor needs to know, some great tips on how things work and enough detail to get a new investor going successfully.
   
   I have invested for a while and have found the book valuable in filling some of the information that I have guessed about... I wish I had this book before starting. Thanks to the author for answering my questions in a clear and concise manner.



5. The book is OK but I was looking more for examples of structured deals and how to do deals. This is more of an encyclopedia of commercial real estate terms. If this is what you're looking for great. If you're looking for how to do deals and how to put deals together this ain't it.

5 comments about The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing.

1. I purchased a duplex 18 months ago and a triplex 6 months ago. I wish I had this book then. There are several things I would have done differently and many of my questions would have been answered. It's a great book for a starter. I give it only four stars because it gives little description on closing costs of properties but besides that it is excellent for people purchasing 1 to 4 unit properties. Tip: This book is at the library for free.



2. This is a beginner book on real estate investing, it covers all the essentials, but in a very boring school textbook style. It is so generic and so ultimately forgettable, there is not one piece of information that isn't covered in any other REI book with better insights and more detail.



3. If you want a no nosense book about Real Estate Investing this is the book for you. No fluff, just basic things you need to know in order to be successful. I recommend this book highly.



4. Like most Unofficial Guide, this is no nonsense, yet authoritative and useful. I would recommend this book for first time investors in real estate or even for people who may have done some investment in the past but want to become serious in real estate investment.
   
   Book is dividied into 7 major sections - Understanding Real Estate as an investment, Secrets of real estate investing, Mastering the Market, Setting your investment goals, Putting your money on the line, property management essentials, Facing your fears.
   
   I think most initial investors (prime target audience for this book) will find section 1, 2 and 6 useful and something they should read as part of their preparation for starting a real estate investment career. Other sections are well written and will probably be used more as reference as opposed to an end to end reading during the first skimming through the book.



5. as to whether you will find this book helpful or not.
   
   When I first entered the real estate market, I was a novice investor. I found this book to be very helpful and insightful and gave me a good solid vocabulary enabling me to converse intelligently with the Real Estate agents I was working with. I am now a full time Real Estate Agent specialing in commercial real estate and I continue to recommend this book to my customers with little background in Real Estate investing and purchasing.
   
   If you are a seasoned investor with many purchases in your background and portfolio, then this book may not be for you. While you may or may not be aware of the many calculations and insights this book offers, I believe it is still a worth while addition to an investors library.
   
   If you are new to Real Estate investing I highly recommend this book. It contains many helpful calculations and insights to give you a good solid background of what you need to know to invest in real estate.
   
   The calculations are real world examples used in practice by both Residential and Commercial Real Estate Agents. It offers topics on Creative Financing, Property management as well as an overview of the various types of Investment properties.

5 comments about Make More Money Investing in Multiunits: A Step-by-Step Guide.

1. I have read and followed the steps in Greg's book and have purchased my first multi-unit property.
   The book is written in a simple format and easy to follow the steps to purchase multi-units.
   
   Read and take all the pointers and buy units --it is the way to financial freedom.



2. When I start in a new area of business, I am always afraid that I will pick up a book that is way over my head. This book really IS an easy to understand,"Step-by-Step Guide"! The glossary in the back of this book is worth as much as the rest of the book. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in Multiunits. Also, if you get the chance to sit under Greg's teaching in person...DO IT!



3. This is a great book for an investor who is new to real estate or for a real estate investor with some experience like me who is serious about real estate and understands that to be very successful, learning from seasoned, very successful investors like Gregory Warr can give you a huge advantage and help enormously in achieving the goal. For those of us without rich dads, being able to learn about "tricks of trade" straight from the source is invaluable.
   I read the book from cover to cover on the day when I bought it. The book is easy to read and full of valuable and practical recommendations such as: invest in low- to middle-income housing as more people are looking for low- to middle income housing than those who are looking for high-income housing. Mr. Warr shares some insightful ideas about financing of properties, structuring the offer and negotiating, and managing multiunits. The book bursts with energy, which is very contagious.
   It clearly shows that it is possible to create wealth and stability investing in multinunits and guides you how this can be done. The best part is that Mr. Warr shares a lot of his personal experience, so his examples and recommendations are very convincing.
   After reading this book, I felt like a new door is now open for me. I am looking forward to closing on my first multiunit.



4. Overall good book. Deals with partnerships and different ways to structure them, which I have not read before as detailed as in this book. However, it leaves a couple of questions unanswered. The rest of the book is comparative to any basic/intermediate real estate book. Small investors looking for ways to grow should consider reading it.



5. This book has a sound strategy in investing in apartments of 10-25 units. However, when the author attempts detailed explanations, they're either confusing or wrong.
   
   An example in his section about structuring your business, "I recommend structuring each property as a separate corporation...". No mention of using an LLC, the preferred real estate business structure. Then the author goes on to talk about partnership structures, while not mentioning the LLP structure (nevermind the corporation he advocated 3 pages earlier). Then he says everyone who contributes is a partner, including the bank from whom you borrow. The bank as a member of your legal partnership? I don't think so, but this is an example of the lack of clarity and ensuing confusion that comes from this text.
   
   The author talks about tax advantages to entice doctors to as partners, while completely failing to discuss what the investors tax advantages are when investing in real estate. Talk about missing the big picture.

5 comments about Why the Real Estate Boom Will Not Bust - And How You Can Profit from It: How to Build Wealth in Today's Expanding Real Estate Market.

1. Lereah is a master of comedy. Often while reading Mr. Lereah's tome i became overcome with laughter, sometimes experiencing convulsions. The convulsions were so severe that i would need to rest for shortness of breath. Thanks for your service Mr. Lereah, you've made a significant contribution. This books identifies you as one of the few who were ahead of the curve on the mortgage and credit issues we now confront. Also, I miss your hilarious monthly commentary on new & existing home sales--somehow you were always able to find a silver lining. Proud of you!



2. Let's see, the boom busted, what? Last year, and it's still sliding downhill.
   
   Here is a recent quote from Lereah himself from a May 6, 2008 Newsweek article about the housing market:
   
   "We're not at the bottom," he says. "[People] want it to be near the bottom, but we're not there yet. The leading indicators are still very bad. Pending home sales are still in bad shape. Mortgage applications are low ... There's still supply out there in abundance ... This thing is going to get worse before it gets better."
   
   And...
   
   "We're probably going to end up with a 20 percent [decline], but if I'm wrong it will be even more than that."
   
   Well, since the title of his book is clearly shown WRONG by current events, it would be advisable to skip this boatload of malarkey.



3. I found this title by accident, and the irony was too great to pass up. We are signing the closing documents tomorrow on a house here in Sonoma County, CA that is down 36% from when it last sold in November 2006. The house is a foreclosure, owned by IndyMac Bank, stock price $0.06 per share at this writing.
   
   Added hilarity comes from the two testimonials, one gushing from a former govenor of the federal reserve, the other equally non-reasoned from the Chief Economist of Fannie Mae. Oops, they just got taken into receivership by the Treasury Department!
   
   Unfortunately real people were harmed by this advice. Buyer beware, of course, but you would think folks in positions of authority would have a little more temperance. But then you would have thought wrong. Maybe that's why I have so little respect for authority ...



4. With all the naysayers, it is refreshing to read something that goes past the doom and gloom predictions of the media and gets to the real substance of why real estate is the greatest investment of a lifetime. With all the recent trouble in the stock market, this makes an excellent case for why money should be placed into real estate (which will likely continue to increase in value) instead of stocks and bonds which have been decreasing in value.



5. This book," Why the Real Estate Boom will not Bust...",(2006),by D Lereah, is practically identical, in the manner in which it arrives at its conclusions ,to R.Zuccaro's " Dow 30,000 by 2008 : Why it's different this time "( December,2001;second printing,2008-why he would bring a second printing out makes no sense ),James K Glassman's "Dow 36,000 ",(2000),David Elias's " Dow 40,000 ",(1999),Charles W.Kadlec's " Dow 100,000 ",(1999 )with a forward by R J Acampora predicting a Dow of 18,500 in 2006 and an endorsement from Arthur Laffer that " This book is a must read " on the back cover.There is a common thread connecting the reasoning of all of these individuals.They have all been taught to accept the Efficient Market Hypothesis(EMH) as applied to financial markets.The EMH requires that the time series financial market pricing data satisfy some kind of Normal probability distribution(cumulative Normal ,multivariate Normal,log Normal,bivariate Normal,etc.).The problem is that all of the goodness of fit tests,none of which has been done by any economist in the 20th or 21st century,done by Benoit Mandelbrot has,for over 50 years, demonstrated that it is not possible for the data to be normally distributed due to tail probabilities that are very long(out to 25 standard deviations) and very fat, as well as extreme kurtosis.
   All of the individuals covered in this review have been taught this falsified EMH stuff in their economcs and econometrics classes.What we have had going on in the 20th century, and so far in this century in economics, is very similar to what was happening in the 17th century in astronomy.Ptolomaic astronomy ,when confronted with the vast empirical work done by Galileo and Kepler that refuted their claims,simply when on claiming that there theory was basically correct and could be fixed up by adding and/or subtracting a few epicycles here or there.

4 comments about The Real Estate Investor's Pocket Calculator: Simple Ways to Compute Cashflow, Value, Return, and Other Key Financial Measurements.

1. Correct me if I am wrong but looking at the definitions for assessment ratios they are defined as appraised price (P) * assessment ratio (R) = assessed value (A) so restating this as P * R = A then R = A / P which is not consistent with the book. The book states that R = P / A which is invalid. If you take the example of asked price which for this example lets say it is the appraised price of $107,500 and assessed value of A = 90000. If you use the formula of R = A / P then the ratio is 83.7% if you run the numbers defined in the book formula you get 1.194444444444. Other than that, the book has been very good at figuring the value of a given property. This also applies to the Assessment ratio adjusted.
   Here is the reference I found for defining the assessment ratio http://co.laplata.co.us/asrinfo.htm



2. Michael c. Thomsett's REAL ESTATE INVESTOR'S POCKET CALCULATOR: SIMPLE WAYS TO COMPUTER CASHFLOW, VALUE, RETURN, AND OTHER KEY FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS finally places in the investor's hands the same tools real estate agents use to calculate yield, values, taxable income and operating expenses. All different types of value are revealed in chapters which cover everything from acceleration techniques and methods for reducing interest to ways of maximizing investment returns. Worksheets, tables and charts provide clarity and all the formulas needed to succeed. Very highly recommended as an essential, basic pick any real estate investor should keep at hand.



3. I ordered this book for my business library and and happy with it, athough it does have some errors in it. However, the material is informative enough to undersatnd, which allows me to perform the calculations in it.



4. I bought the book back in September of 2006 and have just started reviewing it. I did find an error as mentioned on page 18 in another review by another reader. The Assessed value formula is backwards and you have to reverse the numerator and denominator variables P & A to get the formula to work. Also the revised assessment example on page 20 has some errors also. The formula (1+i)^y should calculate the revised assessment column on page 20 using the 1.5% average increase in assessed value. When you plug in values with y = 1 as the power the values come out. When you use 2-3 years for y, you get a higher value that does not agree with the examples for Laurel St; Haynes St; Green and Hayward Lane respectively. So far this is the major errors I have found but will write back when I see some more. I do agree the classifications of the related formulas are great to the subject matter being expounded on. However I would also like to see more worked out examples for the formulas as this would also serve as a self check for errors. Some of the simpler formulas have no worked out examples and for some this is needed to lock in the theory.

5 comments about Weekend Millionaire Mindset: How Ordinary People Can Achieve Extraordinary Success.

1. "How Ordinary People Can Achieve Extraordinary Success" is just a small clue of the VERY BIG lessons I found in this book. It won't just make you a better investor but can help you be a better person no matter what you do. There is so much inspiration and information crammed in every page of this book. For every investor, this can be the one source to go to as the foundation for your entire business. I know investors who started out using Mike's methods and following the formulas in this book and have become very successful and continue to grow and I could prove it on paper. The results are amazing. I never get tired of talking about it and recommending it to other people.



2. Although most of the wealth-creating principles are not new, this book is well written and can still serve as a great resource for aspiring millionaires. Mike and Roger's style is very entertaining. I recommend it without hesitation.



3. Very encouraging and uplifting book. Helps you believe in yourself and see that even imperfect people ,making big mistakes, can overcome and succeed greatly! David W.



4. My friend gave me this book and I kept pushing it off and never read it. Finally, I got sick of my situation enough to give it a shot.
   
   It is very motivating and has been a wake up call to me. I have read about 2 books in the past few years. Since reading this book a month ago, I have read 6. I am as hungry as ever so I have been trying to educate myself on wealth, strategy, and real estate as much as I can and it started with this book.



5. Mike Summey - this book's co-author with Roger Dawson - has a truly inspirational life story to share. He grew up poor in the coalfields of southern West Virginia, a region of bleak poverty. He hit the road at age 15 to make his fortune. As a young man, he carried a message in his pocket and read it every day: "I will become a millionaire by age 30 and retire by age 50." And so he did, though he had no formal education beyond "a Ph. D. from the University of Hard Knocks." Dawson is also impressive: A noted public speaker, he lectures on peak performance and negotiation. His audio program on negotiating produced more than $28 million in revenues, the best-selling program in the history of business cassette publishing. You can learn much about building wealth from these men. They explain how to develop the mindset you need to become a millionaire, persuasively presenting proven (in fact, familiar) methods and strategies for budgeting, saving, investing and managing your money. getAbstract recommends their advice and their attitude.

5 comments about The Complete Guide to Investing in Rental Properties.

1. I have read all of the real estate investing books by Steve Berges, in addition to many others by other authors. I have found that Mr. Berges is by far the best author on real estate investment, period. If you haven't read "The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings," then you are doing it wrong.
   
   Mr. Berges' basic approach is to teach you what to look for, and how to analyze property before you buy it. With this approach you will know how much money you will make in the end, before you have even made the down payment. Berges explains this approach very thoroughly and effectively, with an informal, anecdotal style that makes you feel like you are discussing real estate methods with your rich uncle.
   
   "The Complete Guide to Investing in Rental Properties" is Berges' newest book. Having read all of his previous books, I found this one to be a little redundant. The first half of the book is a review of infomation found in more detail in his other books, and even includes excerpts from his other work. But that allows the book to stand on its own. The rest of the book is all new, and pure gold. Mr. Berges discusses his techniques for managing property and tenants, increasing property value and reducing expenses.
   
   If you were only allowed to read one book on real estate investing, "The Complete Guide to Investing in Rental Properties" would be it. However, then you would be missing out on all of Steve Berges' other books. On the other hand, were you to have read the others, in my opinion you would not only have all the information needed to begin a successful real estate venture, you would also have a significant advantage over all those investors out there who have not read his work.
   
   Given that this has been such a raving review, I feel I should head off assumptions that I work for Steve Berges, or the publisher, or even know him. I do not. I have only read many books on real estate investing, and I have come to recognize Mr. Berges' books to be the champions of them all. You just have to read one to know what I am talking about.
   
   ****UPDATE! November 2008****
   
   Ten Stars! This is an update to my original review of this book on February 11, 2005. Since then, this book seems to have taken a beating from other reviewers, so I feel compelled to chime in. If you are looking for Shakespearean writing, check the classic literature section. Is basic arithmetic part of your dismissive notion of "math" that you asked your 7th grade algebra teacher why you needed to learn it, since you were never going to use it anyway? If so, then you should avoid this book, and investing in general. If, however, you are interested in smart real estate investment then this is the place.
   
   Using what I learned from this and Steve Berges' other book, "The Complete Guide to Buying and Selling Apartment Buildings," I have recently acquired over $1 million worth of apartment buildings (heavily mortgaged, of course). Both books showed me exactly how to find the best deals in town. Early in 2008 I cashed in all my mutual funds and IRAs, paid the early withdrawal penalties, and passed up on the company's 401K program so I could put all that money into purchasing apartments. My co-workers were certain that I was an absolute idiot back then, but now I look like a genius. Currently my apartments are professionally managed so they run themselves, and they also generate a 9.5% annual rate of return after all expenses. That is not much, but the real profit will come when I sell them in a few years. Also, 9.5% is significantly above the negative 50% return that the average mutual fund investor is seeing these days.
   
   If you are reading this and looking to make money in real estate, then you have already figured out the most important step. Four years ago I knew nothing about real estate, having never even purchased a home. I turned to Amazon.com and read hundreds of reviews for real estate books. This powerful tool enabled me to weed out the 98% of real estate investment books that are completely worthless. I eventually bought and read about 24 of them, including all of the books written by Mr. Berges. Since I was new to the business, the rest of the books were on related subjects that I knew I needed to understand before getting started: mortgages, home inspection, HVAC, lawyers, insurance, what a closing is, etc. If there is something in real estate that is a mystery to you, just read a good book about it. The people who waste thousands of dollars on a weekend real estate seminar only learn a fraction of what you can learn yourself from a $20 book. In fact, all my real estate agents, building inspectors and loan officers have been blown away by how astute my understanding and insight has been, even before they know how new I am to investing.
   
   I never read the non-investment related chapters at the end of Steve Berges' books. I am also familiar enough with Microsoft Excel that I make my own spreadsheets for analysis of properties, so I have never bothered with the software that he sells. There are books about using Excel, too. There may be investment books out there that are better than those by Steve Berges, but I have not found any yet.



2. This book was not as easy for a me to understand as other books I have read. He goes really into detail on showing how to make sure your cash flow and the property is one you want to buy, but he doesn't do much to show or tell you how to buy homes as I had hoped.



3. I can only imagine that this book was written for the sole purpose of making money off of poor schmucks, like myself, who bought it thinking it might have some useful information. It doesn't, save your money and look elsewhere on the given subject. Example information conveyed in the book includes, in essence, such helpful hints as don't buy rental homes next to slums or trash-dumps.



4. I'm surprised at the lackluster reviews of this book. I found it outstanding and learned a great deal about how to acquire the best properties and make them as profitable s possible.



5. This book is a good idea, and presents relatively useful information in a straightforward fashion. BUT: the book as a whole suffers from some elements that make this a mediocre choice. A strong candidate in a long tradition of making business and finance texts unreadable, ruining the subject for millions.
   
   1. Poor prose: the writing is mediocre and after a while gets tedious and annoying. As an example, on pg. 91, a paragraph leads off saying (paraphrased and condensed) 'there are three important additional factors, x, y and z. X must be considered so that (blah blah blah). It is equally important to understand Y. Finally, it is important to be aware of Z.' In other words, these things are important, and you know this, because you have been told they are important through the technique of repetition of the word important. This is just plain poor writing.
   
   There are also pompous quotes at the end of each chapter, which have little relation to the text and no effect save to annoy the reader. They seem to repeat the theme of liberty; now, liberty is a Good Thing, but the connection to a real estate text is somewhat tenuous - and more to the point, it's obnoxious. (Example: at the end of Chapter 3, "Eight Ways to Locate Rental Houses for the Smart Investor", John Quincy Adams is quoted as saying "Posterity - you will never know how much it has cost my generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it." Wha'?)
   
   2. Narrowness and facts/opinions: pg. 27, "The type of location best suited for rental houses is typically in a neighorhood that is between 10 and 35 years old." Ummm, would this hold true in, say, Boston? New York? New Orleans? Paris? (Okay, it's a book for a U.S. audience, but still). In general, the "suggested approaches" seem targeted at those considering investing in rental properties in mid-sized cities with massive urban sprawl. In particular, there is a strong and clear bias to investing in single-family dwellings, a bias that is both potentially dangerous and certainly open to debate. (Granted, the author does point out that this is a generalization, but this qualification is not very convincing.)
   
   3. Errors: while the errors I have found are not serious, they worry me when I read a business/finance text. For example, on pg. 75, Berges explains the debt servicing ratio and states that "a value of 1.0 percent means that there is exactly enough cash to make the loan payment." Actually, 1.0 percent means that there is 1/100th of the cash needed to make the loan payment - a typo, to be sure, but that's why texts are edited prior to publication. The box on the same page breaking down the formula is also simply wrong.
   
   I should note that the entire section in the Chapter "Financial Analysis of Rental Properties" makes use of an almost unreadable print-out of an Excel worksheet (that I have not found available on the web, although I admit I could eventually read no more). Since some of the text following this is based on the worksheet, it makes it harder to get through this section and the subject just does not come alive.
   
   4. Nothing new: there are other texts that explain finance and real estate much better, and put them in context, with clearer examples and less painful writing.
   
   Keep looking.

5 comments about Buy Low, Rent Smart, Sell High.

1. Its the same ole same ole... besides, you find better deals working with a REALTOR(R) looking for motivated sellers in the MLS. First, when a notice of default is published every real estate agent and their brother in the area is hounding the owner to list and sell before foreclosure and REO (so many do), and second, if it does go REO, there are so many bottom feeding sharks looking for a "good deal" in an REO, it gets bid up and often goes over market in a feeding frenzy...



2. I do not read many books from cover to cover. This one I read. I found it very useful and informative. I had two properties that I purchased at FMV. I have since purchased two other properties since reading this book. They were HUD foreclosed properties that I purchased at 75% below FMV minus repairs. I used my own money, fixed them up,refinanced them and got an 80% loan. I pulled back all my money plus I now have $19,000 of equity in one and $16,000 of equity in the other one. I did walked away with $5k and $3k respectively after expenses. I did a lease purchase but not their way. I did the non-qualifying with the big money up front. Their way did not work for me. I tried it though. This book really got my brain to churning. It is not a get rich quick book but if you are serious and looking to build wealth I think this is a good book to read. I call it my real estate bible. I am currently trying to find one that is better or just as good but have not found it so far.



3. absolutly fantastic...
   gives you new ideas and way to do real estate in a way that really appeal to those who not just want their success but seeking other's too.



4. Book was very simple to read, finished it in 2 days, probably could of done it in one except for a big accounting test got in the way. The book gives you another strategy on real estate, and it is very inspiring to get you off your butt and go do it.



5. This product promises more than it delivers, like their book, the claims make big promises, but there are lots of disclaimers, and no real meat, just ideas which are supposed to be real good, but who knows. It seems to be another link towards buying more of their stuff.

5 comments about Nothing Down for Women: The Smart Woman's Quick-Start Guide to Real Estate Investing.

1. I was appalled to read the purported review by Publishers Weekly. I truly thought the days when the worn out out down of female power by labeling it/us as "shrill" were over.
   
   But then I realized-- this means it really rang the reviwer's chimes. He -- and I have never heard a woman call another women shrill--would have felt no need to default to imitation and cheap shots if there were not something important going on here.
   
   For anyone who has read the book or spoken to Karen, this accusation needs no rebuttal. For those who dare to believe there can be a better way to get ahead than the "dog eat dog" way-- be aassured there is a better way, it is being done, and you will know in your heart if this is right for you.
   
   and for the record-- reviewers far more expert than PW have had glowing words for this book. And so do I.
   



2. This book teaches you about Real Estate Investing in basic steps. The chapter assignments demonstrate the simplicity of the writer's strategies.



3. I love this book! It was very informational and a lot of examples to go along with it, in addition to testimonies. It also mentions alot of real world mistakes and what routes not to take! When I first picked up the book and looked at the amount of pages, I started to put it down and read one of the other shorter books I had ordered along with it and tackle this one the following week, but once I started reading, I could not put it down. 5 KUDOS for Karen! Thanks you so much for the information and writing it from a Woman's Perspective!
   
   Lanesa Stubbs



4. I was frankly suprised at the level of detail and instructions in this book. Most real estate 'how-to' books keep it pretty high level but in this one, there are specific detailed action items to take and found it very informative, even as an experienced real estate investor!
   
   I've personally met Karen Nelson Bell at the enlightened wealth institute and have a high regard for her success!



5. This book is amazing! I though I could just take notes on some key points like I did with other investment books, but she has so much useful information, I have to buy my own copy. There would have been way too much to write down. A definite read for those looking to invest in real estate. The Rich Dad, Poor Dad series is great too!:)
