If you're interested in real estate investing, you may have noticed notice the lack of coverage it gets in mainstream financial media, while stocks, bonds, and mutual funds are consistently touted as the safest and most profitable ways to invest. According to real estate guru Ken McElroy, that's because financial publications, tv and radio programs make the bulk of their money from advertising paid for by the very companies who provide such mainstream financial services. On the other hand, real estate investment is something you can do on your own--without a large amount of money up front! Picking up where left off in the bestselling The ABC's of Real Estate Investing, McElroy reveals the next essential lessons and information that no serious investor can afford to miss. Building on the foundation of real estate investment 101, McElroy tells readers:

• How to think--and operate--like a real estate mogul
  
• "The Top Ten Real Estate Markets to Watch"
  
• How to identify and close expert deals
  
• Why multifamily housing is the best real estate investment out there
  
• How to surround yourself with a team that will help maximize your money
  
• How to avoid paying thousands in taxes by structuring property sales wisely
  
• Important projections about the future of real estate investment

And more.

An excellent example of the helpful financial audios produced by Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad company, Garrett Sutton's can-do lesson is an excellent lesson on how to rise above debt. He provides a largely sympathetic lesson on why people dig such holes for themselves and why creditors let them. The information is nicely condensed and includes illustrations that people at all intellectual levels will connect with. The writing and the matter-of-fact reading are proactive--he doesn't celebrate or condemn anyone's goofy money decisions. Know yourself, get your attitudes and behavior under control, and then use the author's formulas and action steps to wrestle your credit report, account by account, back into something respectable.

There’s no one better at promoting Donald Trump than the man himself. In this slim guide, which Trump says readers should consider "the second part of an ongoing conversation between you and The Donald" (the first part being his previous book, How to Get Rich), he offers his two-cents on everything from picking a mortgage broker and selling a house to dressing and grooming for work. Unfortunately, the book is packed with more clichés and glowing comments about his various properties (including his Mar-a-Lago resort, "one of the most beautiful places on earth") than practical advice. For instance, his advice on how to spot a fraud is, "If it seems too good to be true, it is," and his counsel on grooming is, "Dress for the job you want, not the job you have." Even his "Mar-a-Lago Diet" boils down to eating balanced meals. Each topic is covered in two pages or less, even big ones like How to Sell a House and How to Manage Debt, while other segments—such as A Week in the Life, which superficially covers a rather uneventful week in Trump’s life—run on far too long. The final third of the book consists of a teaser for the new season of The Apprentice. Trump provides a general overview of the first four episodes, but doesn’t give away any specifics about who gets the boot. Instead, he coyly says, "My first firing wasn’t terribly difficult, although I always feel bad for the first person to go because he or she will miss out on so much." Though Trump claims in the book’s introduction that "if you absorb only ten percent of the wisdom in this book, you’ll still have a good shot at becoming a millionaire," many a reader will likely finish this book feeling distinctly unenlightened.

Sophisticated real estate players will appreciate the revisions made to this highly comprehensive dictionary of terms. All of the entries are brought into comformity with the 1986 Tax Reform Act. Controversial topics that have resulted from this legislation, such as the IRS definition of a dealer in real estate, are treated well. Though it has no illustrations, a section containing over 300 abbreviations is a helpful touch. Unlike Jack C. Harris and Jack P. Friedman's Barron's Real Estate Handbook ( LJ 10/15/88), which is recommended for the general public, this title is better suited to libraries serving professionals and serious investors.
