Real Estate Riches
How to become rich using your banker’s money.
A brilliant book from New Zealand’s own Dolf de Roos.
One of Robert Kiyosaki’s RICH DAD’S™ ADVISORS series.
Dolf shares with you why he thinks property is not just as good as other investments, not just a little bit better than other investments, and not even just much better than other investments, but tens and even hundreds of times better than other investments. Dolf explains why he thinks property is so astoundingly simple and lucrative and shows property from a new perspective, so that whether you are new to the game or a seasoned investor, you will be forced to rethink how you feel about real estate. He also gives you an insider’s view of his approach, attitudes, techniques, and secrets.
Dolf talks about how property offers tremendous leverage through the generous application of mortgage finance. What’s more, unlike with other investments, he shows how you can buy properties at prices significantly below their true value, do things to further increase their value way beyond the cost of the improvement, and why you don’t need to sell to reap huge benefits from the increases in value.
Real Estate Riches will:
- Show you why real estate is hundreds of times better than other investments
- Train you how to find the ‘Deal of the Decade’ – every week
- Teach you how to massively increase the value of a property without spending much money
- Explain how the tax man can subsidise your real estate investment
- Reveal how to create passive income using your banker’s money so that you only work if you want to
- Teach you the eight golden rules of property
Retire Young Retire Rich
If you’re tired of the same old investment advice – such as ‘be patient’, ‘invest for the long term’, and ‘diversify’ – then this book is for you. Robert explains in detail the power of leverage: How to leverage your mind, your financial plans, your actions and, most importantly, your first steps to becoming fianancially free.
This is a powerful personal story about how Robert and Kim Kiyosaki started with nothing, and retired financially free in less than 10 years. If you do not plan on working hard all your life, this is the book for you.
From the introduction by Robert Kiyosaki:
My previous books were on the power of cash flow. Rich dad said, “Cashflow is the most important word in the world of money. The second most important word is leverage.” He also said, “Leverage is the reason some people become rich and others do not become rich.” Rich dad went on to explain that leverage was power and power can work in your favour or against you.
I am very happy to be finally bringing this book to you. This book will definitely explain why I believe all of us already have the power and potential to be very rich … and I do mean all of us, not just some of us.
