REVIEWS
Joel did a great job in this book explaining how to make money in real estate without taking all of the risks that many investors take. He makes the case it doesn’t take money or credit to buy houses and he’s a living example of what one can achieve as a real estate investor. I wish I had his book when I started.

Life is too short to make all of the mistakes on your own. Joel takes 45 years of investing experience and condenses it into an easy-to-read guide. This is the type of book that will always be on your desk, full of notes and dog-eared pages, as you will want to come back to the content over and over again. I skipped immediately to the chapter on taxes, then went back through the rest of the book, and I was amazed at how Joel has taken really complex topics, and simplified them for readers at all levels of experience.

Build Real Estate Wealth is the REAL DEAL of real estate investment advice. Real estate investment guru Joel Miller makes you feel 100% confident that you can “acquire the right properties in the right way to support the growth” of your portfolio. (In fact, this book is making me seriously consider wrapping up my 37-year career in public relations and pivoting to real estate.) If you truly want to play the game of real estate investing and start making winning plays, then Build Real Estate Wealth is the only coach you’ll need. Miller’s well-written book is THE comprehensive, step-by-step definitive blueprint for constructing your own residual, cash-producing real estate portfolio. Anyone else here on out who tries to write a book about how to invest in real estate is just wasting their time — or just echoing what Joel just wrote.

Rich Dad, Poor Dad was the first book that got me to believe that investing in Real Estate could actually be a possibility. But there wasn’t much practical advice. If I would've had Build Real Estate Wealth to read back then, it would’ve saved me thousands of dollars and years of trying to figure it out on my own. Joel’s experience and ability to give you step by step guidance will be the building blocks for your guaranteed success in Real Estate!

This book is encyclopedic in its breadth and is written with enough depth to satisfy the curiosity of seasoned investors, but is written simply enough that even the novice investor can pick it up and use it to start investing in real estate. Organized into bite sized sections, this book will allow you to read in either a sequential beginning-to-end way, ideal for newbies, or to jump back-and-forth from section to section without missing a beat.
Light in the ra-ra-ra peptalk and hype that typically tends to make up the first half of most books of this genre, instead you will find that Joel gets right to the point and prepares you to invest in real estate in a way that works for you! He touches on everything from business organization and structure, accounting and taxes, landlording and management, acquisitions, rehabbing and construction, financing, and numerous other topics that you will benefit from knowing about as you develop your real estate portfolio.

I’ve known Joel Miller since before I knew the phrase “real estate.” We became friends in the early 1960s, attending elementary school together and living around the corner from each other. In the decades since, while I followed my own circuitous path in the arts, Joel, in his pursuits, came to understand the economics of the world. While it’s too late for Joel to be your friend for over sixty years, it’s not too late for you to benefit from what he’s learned and brought forth in this thoughtfully crafted book.
