This book is more for the academically and analytically inclined, but it is chock full of industry key words, real life case studies of true investments, and it dives deep into an understanding of real estate as a real investment, and not just a passing fad.

They waste their money they would have been better off saving for a deal because they want the real estate equivalent of a diet pill.

The old strategies taught by legends like Jack Miller, Peter Fortunato, Prentiss Yates and others with 30, 40, 50 years of experience actually WORK BETTER these days than the things the young guys have been teaching the last 5-10 years.Lots of experience always beats new fads.

However, with proper diet and training!  

I think tiny houses are fashionable, but not a fad.  

I'll answer all the questions I can for a diet soda.

Diets, running that marathon, household projects, etc.But then we look at those people who are successful.

Indirectly: Good diet, plenty of sleep and excercise.

But yes there are just far to many good performing notes out there in my mind to chase down and buy into a problem loan which is what these NPN funds are.. a lot more to it than meets the eye.. and just like most RE fad's this is soup de jour so lots of uneducated or beginner money chasing these deals.

Get your diet under control.
