Investing in real estate can be an extremely profitable endeavor, but only if you know the pitfalls to avoid. In the Real Estate Investing manual, we discuss every aspect of locating, evaluating, purchasing, financing, and operating an investment property. Topics covered include conducting a local market analysis, analyzing leases, valuing a property, and how to conduct due diligence. The manual also addresses the tax aspects of real estate investing, including like-kind exchanges, installment sales, and the tax basis of property.
