Product Description

Quit your day job!

Make a million in real estate!

It's easier than you think!

A few years ago, Matthew Martinez was a lot like you - he worked hard to make as big a salary as he could. But it wasn't enough. He worked by the clock, and yearned to be his own boss. With a small amount of savings, he acquired his first rental property. Two years later, he was making more from his rentals than he was working 9 to 5, so he quit his day job to oversee his real estate investments. Today, he enjoys a multi-million-dollar collection of income-producing properties--and he's ready to share his money-making strategies so you can begin your own journey to career and financial independence.

Two Years to a Million in Real Estateshows you everything you need to know, including how to

  • Invest small amounts early-on while working a full-time job
  • Avoid real estate “bubble” risks
  • Get others to pay your mortgage for you
  • Pick a hot property (and spot others that will become hot)
  • Simplify the ins-and-outs of financing
  • Negotiate like a pro
  • Screen for reliable tenants
  • Understand how local tenant laws work
  • Hire good people to manage your properties
  • Know when to sell

5 out of 5 stars success in inevitable????   July 12, 2010

While this book may rise above some of the others in the genre it's still a tough sell for me. He talks of a high water bill because of filling a swimming pool, but I can top that with a $3,000 water bill. The tenants turned the water back on after the city shut it off for non-payment. Because of books like this, plus Robert Allen, and Carlton Sheets, I'll be in bankruptcy court soon. But hey it was an adventure. I got a great book out of my ups and downs in real estate investing in Akron Ohio. HOUSES OF CARDS recently won and IPPY award. If you want to follow the advise in this book I think you should read mine first! It shows a more realistic view. I own 12 single family homes, have a half a million in debt and it took me eight years!

5 out of 5 stars Great Information and very detailled   June 5, 2010

Really goes into all aspects of the business, from valuation to property management. It isn't easy but you can really save some time (and money!) by learning from Matt's experiences.


5 out of 5 stars Coming from a guy who has read a few RE books...   May 27, 2010

Ive purchased a few of the highly recommended real estate books on Amazon and this one takes the cake. Some RE books simply put me to sleep but this is a Very easy ready with powerful information. Once i picked it up, i couldn't put it down and finished the book in a few hours. Seems to get right to the heart of the matter where other books spend a ton of time on fluff. Note: this book was written during the real estate boom which skews things a little. But the key pts still apply. Highly recommend


5 out of 5 stars Yes, you want this book.   December 24, 2009

Want to own an investment property? And make a profit? Then read this book. Great offering of insight on lending, tenants, and cash flow. Leads you chapter by chapter in his experiences and business strategies. It is a short book but the material he covers is not just the basics but a foundation for knowing what you need to know next.

I think "2 Years To A Million" was a very good take on the business of cash flow and RE. Times are changing and it takes some truth + invention these days to keep up with the changing RE markets.
