Whether you’re interested in a fixer supper for rental, premier office space you can lease, or a vacation home you can enjoy and rent, when you become a buyer, you also become a landlord.

Remember, with any deal, you have to know when to hold them and know when to fold them. So Real Estate investing for Dummies gives you guidelines on when and how to sell and how to reinvest to build wealth. It also lists 10 real estate investments you shouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole. Especially if you’re tempted by those late-night infomercials, that warning could save you a fortune!
With up-to-date information on all your mortgage options. Praise for Real Estate investing For Dummies.
