They Do It Again – Kauai Real Estate Book Review

I have been amazed with the depth of its content. I’ll need to read it several times in order to absorb it all.

We get it Thomas, we won’t get rich next month in Real Estate. It almost sounds like one should just pass on the business because of all the pitfalls and scams. This was not because the book was printed in 36 point type, but because the author captured my attention and held it throughout the book. I have been researching real estate markets and practices in my area for several years and I am currently pursuing my realtor’s license. Like all jobs, you have to do something to succeed, ponder that. I highly recommend anyone thinking about getting into the “nitty” profession of distressed property sales to buy, read, and actually DO what’s outlined in this book.

With Thomas Lucier I get the feeling he really wants me to be empowered to win. The man has integrity oozing out of his pores. How could anyone not like that” He even offers to personally answer questions through email or by phone. It is actually a tool you can use instead of just a book to read. Thomas includes specific info and also gives you the websites to find this info.

There is an unimaginable amount of professional resources that comes with the book. This has got to be one of the better books I have read in any subject. The author makes it plain and clear what this book is going to do, what it is not going to do, and more importantly how and who can get into this line of investing.

The book is packed with reference material and you can even go to his website and download all the forms and letters presented in the book. Frankly, packaged with hype I have seen on TV and in seminars, the contents of this book could be sold for $999!

His step-by-step process is not detailed enough to put into practice without doing tons more research. The book seems unfocused and often times wanders away from the point. Yes, prepping a property is essential, but there are also several factors. After reading several books on real estate investing, I’ve found this one to be the most useful and easy to understand. One unique strength of the book is its detailed attention to “hidden risks”, the potential pitfalls in the process that are not immediately apparent to the new investor. Everyone knows that the location and condition of a property are key components of its value, but less obvious are risks associated with the legal aspects of the deal (eg liens against the property). It answers questions regarding loans, liens, and negotiations. It even has downloadable forms, such as letters, and notices of default. However, for the “doers” out there who want to be properly educated, they will find this book to be wonderfully helpful. The book is worth many times its cost just as a resource for other information.

The author mentions all of the pitfalls and hard work required in this business and clearly doesn’t try to mislead the reader into thinking it will be easy money. MARBLE COFFEE TABLES.
