Publisher Marketing: "You can't do that" "You can't do that any more." That was the mantra of the average realtor when this family bought and sold the properties written about in this book. A time like today. This is a book of succinct examples of buying investment residential real estate, by one family, that put them in the financially independent category few achieve, but many talk about. . Examples of buying houses, of buying duplexes and apartment buildings. . Buying with nothing down. . Buying with the banks money. . Buying in the down market. . Buying a property and getting paid by the seller, to buy it. Buying in a real estate market of declining prices, and of escalating interest rates. Interest rates of 14%, 15% and even as high as 16% on home loans. We are not yet seeing that, and hope we never will again. A market very similar to the market of today. These were also through the years when over building and conversion of the overbuilding made a tight rental market for apartments. Many for rent ads, offered free; toaster ovens, microwaves or even one or more months of free rent. Real estate goes up and it goes down. It is cyclical. Businesses are cyclical. The stock market is cyclical. The bond market is cyclical. Life is a cyclical thing.
