Maybe Good for a Novice

Lots of good info here, but too much bad info. Amateurs might not know the difference. Some of the bad info is dangerous. It does not take only three weeks to renovate a true fixer upper. You should not ignore transaction costs in 1031 exchanges. Writing down a plausible reason is not a good way to avoid discrimination, that only potentially avoids liability. Has this been peer reviewed? Does this guy have any financial qualifications? I don’t doubt his practical success but not every practitioner should be teaching. I’m a professional investment analyst. For some reason, investing books concerning public equities are held to a higher standard. I wish there was more rigor in the real estate investing space as well. I suggest you use this as a first step only if you are going to read it.

Easily most annoying book I've heard... by 10x

Author: "Don't fall for those get rich quick schemes."
Author: **psst! wanna hear how to make a million bucks off real estate in 7 years?**
Author: no mention of the amount of debt required to buy and hold 10+ properties in 5 years.
Author: "Go to my website. oh have you heard about my website? hey there's this amazing resource, it's a website... oh, it's mine. ok fine, but do you like podcasts? cause I have one of those too, and it's amazing. get your spouse to listen to it too. oh, did I mention I have a website?"

Seriously, I don't know how he can lead with chapter 1 and immediately follow it with his perfect plans that assume nothing goes wrong, and say, "And you can too!" Clearly he has made it work. I appreciate the principles, but I can hardly imagine the man has been entirely straightforward in his business when he's so curvy in this book.

You may be making millions off your website and podcast, but you're not treating your audiobook customers well by making us listen to your spiel every 2 minutes. And yes, it is every 2 minutes. Yuck.

2017 Review

I almost didn't buy this audio book because of some of the reviews saying the narration wasn't edited or was poorly done. I think the author has updated/edited the narration since then because I didn't have any of the issues mentioned. Try the sample chapter if you're still unsure.

Lots of great advice and I've had a rental for 3 years now; I never would have had time to read this book so glad the audio version was available.

Full book advertisement

This book is information on being a landlord, but the author is really just plugging a website. The author looses credibility to me for doing this and will no longer buy his books.

Great info and performance

What made the experience of listening to The Book on Rental Property Investing the most enjoyable?

Great information for anyone considering investing in rental properties. I'm only at the point of doing research and this book is perfect for someone like me who needs everything explained clearly every step of the way.

I don't see why everyone is slamming Brandon's audio performance. Unless I have a new version that has been edited, I haven't found any of the comments bashing the performance to be true. One lady complaints about his enthusiasm... really? Personally I think Brandon did a great job and his enthusiasm keeps me engaged. I'm only several hours in but I've only heard one small stumble, nothing to tear the book apart for.

Self-promotion

The book lacks on getting into the details. Constantly referencing his podcast, website, YT channel. The story telling is aimless. Seems too promotional. I don't want to hear that I need to learn the math, I want to be told THE MATH. The book could be shortened by not wasting time. Show not tell.

Good content but Brandon's voice

I found the book had some good content, but Brandon read the book with too much enthusiasm. He made it sound like an infomercial. Perhaps if he had a professional reader I would have liked it more. If you do read it I would suggest the hard copy.

Hard to listen to.

Reader had an extremely heavy lisp. It sounds like his tongue got stung by a bee. He also overuses works like "therefore" and furthermore." The content of the book was good, but I got sick of listening to the guy talk before I was even half way through the book and gave up. The info was not worth the annoyance.

Great Book

I enjoyed the natrator, and the book. Ive read many books as a new investor. This was the first balanced enough to get me to start. Its one of the first to not sound like a 1990s infomercial.
