Summary: Interesting
Comment: Reviewed by Carol Hoyer for Reader Views (10/08)
While "Emerging Real Estate Markets" is a very informative book, the reviewer did not find anything different than most books like this she has read. Mr. Lindahl has a very straightforward approach that leaves no questions. However, the one concern is that many first-time investors will not have the income or desire to purchase multi-apartment units.
The author takes a potential investor through four phases of the buyers' market, from oversupply of properties to the selling of your properties. He gives examples of how to do this, as well as what to avoid. One chapter discusses red flags of property management companies. Examples of this include higher than average vacancy; increase in notice to vacate and not completing deferred maintenance.
Chapter 8 discusses the 10 biggest mistakes investors make and how to avoid them. This was interesting, but the reviewer felt it was pretty much common sense. Overall, I felt the book was an interesting read; there were many points that were quite valid. However, several times readers were referred back to his website to obtain more materials. I think a good self-help book like "Emerging Real Estate Markets" by David Lindahl would give you all the information you would need to have a basic knowledge.

Summary: A Must Buy For Anyone Serious About Getting Really Rich In The Current Real Estate Phase!!
Comment: My god...I read entirely too much!! Now, I'm not going to lie to you and say that Dave doesn't plug his bootcamps and stuff however, I can honestly say he is the real deal. The dude knows his stuff!! I think the title, "Understanding Real Estate Market Cycles and How To Profit From Them", would have been a little better though.(but what do I know)
Nonetheless, it's a great book and a good introduction to Dave and his methodology.
Can you read his book and then go out there and do it? It depends truthfully. Are you the type of person that needs someone to hold their hand and walk them around the block to show them the scary spots....or are you the type that can realisticlly pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and is willing to stumble a little?
Personally, I'm an active real estate investor in both SFR and multi-family units (duplex, tri, quads) and I still go to seminars and learn the ropes before venturing too far out.
Hey...in a nutshell...BUY THE BOOK READ IT DO IT!! Geez, it's only $20 bucks.

Summary: David Lindahl stole his ideas from Marc Garrison the author of "Unlimited Real Estate Profit"
Comment: Several years ago David Lindahl was a eager young student of Marc Garrison the author of "Unlimited Real Estate Profit". David even appears on Marc's 21 DVD course. What David has done with his new book is to rip off Marc's work on emerging absorption markets. You should go to Marc's website narei.com to find out more. I would encourage you to read his website selection "The Fifth Migration" and "The Garrison Cycle". Marc started investing in 1978. His profit from his real estate paid for 2 undergraduate degrees, an MBA, then he started work on a Ph.D. in real estate economics. That academic study led him to an understanding of which markets to invest in, which ones to hold in, and which ones to sell in.
I met Marc on one of his BuyingTours. Talk about fantastic. For the past 22 years Marc has knocked home run after home run in 18 new absorption markets. In July of 08 he will open up his 19th emerging absorption market. If you want to be sold / telemarketed contact David Lindahl.
I far prefer Garrison's style - when you call you can talk with Marc if he is not busy. But, if he is busy he will personally call you back as soon as he can. I have studied under 7 or 8 Gurus to date. Marc is the only one that I have ever been able to personally talk with. Marc is a breath of fresh air in the sweat shop hard core telemarketed snake oil sales routine.

Summary: Emerging RE Markets Review
Comment: This book is the BEST I have read in a very long time regarding market timing entrance and exit based on US geography. Dave is an "expert" investor that speaks with authority on the subject. As I read along I realized all the mistakes I have made over the years. If I only had this book 5 years ago! Great job Dave!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Awesome!
Comment: Awesome! Wish I had read and applied this book 2 years ago...before the market started its crash. As the owner (once proud) of 45 homes...some appreciated 100% in 2 years -- but due to market cycles -- now I am wishing I had a crystal ball. Well Dave gives you the understanding to have your own crystal ball!
