The authors are among the most skillful *marketers* I've seen - I'm unsure about their real estate competence. I've received emails hyping this book for several weeks through their mailing list, and I'm sure book sales reflect these tactics. Overall the book is well-written and easy to read. The success stories are highly motivational, but I don't believe the average investor should bet the farm on this method. The book is entertaining, but not a foundation to build a long-term investment plan upon.
