He is prolific in his opinions of RE gurus on his website, but what about him? Anyone recommend his books? Which ones?

"Many people say they are happy if a book just gives them one good idea. For God’s sake, raise your standards. If an author only has one good idea, he should write a fortune cookie, not a book. One good idea might be worth the price of a book store book, but what about the value of your time? It takes many hours to read a book." John T. Reed

Before you take any advice from someone in real estate, ask them how many deals that deal LAST YEAR, not 20 years ago. I did 12. JTR, uh... none.

I am not a big fan as you can tell because I believe what's he doing is very self-serving in that he does not give away or share anything for free, but instead bashes others to get you caught in the search engines so he can SELL you info. He won't participate on any public forum, which shows that he's afraid or selfish.

While he makes some very good points about SOME bad people, about 1/2 of what he claims to be the truth is really his twisted view of the world.

When he says, "this doesn't work in the real world" when in fact we know from experience it does, it only ticks those of us with experience off and discourages people who are newbies from learning new ideas.

The only reason we are talking about him is because his website hits high in the rankings, mostly because he's been doing it (the website) so long.
