Cheap Houses: How I Find & Buy Inexpensive Real Estate


The Homestead Craftsman - 2018
    This ebook cuts out all the BS seen in larger books and gets right to the point. By telling you the story of multiple real estate purchases I have made you will be able to put these practices to use to find properties in your area and close deals. If you want to know how to find and buy houses at rock bottom prices, this book is a good place to start. To make sure you do not waste your money, let me tell you more about to expect. I am a normal, average guy that has purchased all but one house with cash, spending as little as $5,000 and no more than $15,000. My most expensive house was purchased through owner financing. I prefer to buy cheap and use cash so that I do not go into debt. My first house cost $5,000. When I started the process, I only had about $1,000 but I sold some junk and came up with the rest of the money. I originally got into real estate investing because I wanted rental property. While that is still part of my investing, I've moved into buying and selling as well. Another aspect that I recently dipped my toes into is wholesaling, just completing my first deal. My long-term goal is to buy, renovate and sell houses for big profit and wholesale houses due to its low cost and fast turnover. Along the way, I will keep houses if they are great for rentals. If this sounds like you or something you want to work towards, that is the perspective that these books will be written from. Most of my books are short and to the point, I do this because I myself am not a huge reader due to time so I don't want to put you all through having to read a novel just to get some simple points. What it comes down to is that most things are easier than people think. I hope in telling my own story that you are able to push forward and make your first steps into real estate investing a reality. I'll be writing more on topics like this in the future, be sure to follow my Youtube channels, website and other social media for updates. "The Homestead Craftsman" & "Homemade Home" on Youtube.

The Big Short: by Michael Lewis


aBookaDay - 2016
    If you have not yet bought the original copy, make sure to purchase it before buying this unofficial summary from aBookaDay. SPECIAL OFFER $2.99 (Regularly priced: $3.99) OVERVIEW This review of The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis provides a chapter by chapter detailed summary followed by an analysis and critique of the strengths and weaknesses of the book. The main theme explored in the book is how corruption and greed in Wall Street caused the crash of the subprime mortgage market in 2008. Despite being completely preventable, the big firms in Wall Street chose to ignore the oncoming fall in favor of making money. Michael Lewis introduces characters—men outside of the Wall Street machine—who foresaw the crisis and, through several different techniques, were able to predict how and when the market would fall. Lewis portrays these men—Steve Eisman, Mike Burry, Charlie Ledley, and Jamie Mai—as the underdogs, who were able to understand and act upon the obvious weaknesses in the subprime market. Lewis’s overall point is to demonstrate how the Wall Street firms were manipulating the market. They used loans to cash in on the desperation of middle-to-lower class Americans, and then ultimately relied on the government to bail them out when the loans were defaulted. Using anecdotes and interviews from the men who were involved first-hand, the author makes the case that Wall Street, and how they conducted business in regards to the subprime mortgage market, is truly corrupt beyond repair, and the men he profiles in this novel were trying to make the best out of a bad situation. By having the words from the sources themselves, this demonstrates Lewis’s search for the truth behind what actually happened. Ultimately, we as an audience can not be sure if the intentions of these underdogs were truly good, but Lewis does an admirable job presenting as many sides to the story as possible. The central thesis of the work is that the subprime mortgage crisis was caused by Wall Street firms pushing fraudulent loans upon middle-to-lower class Americans that they would essentially not be able to afford. Several people outside of Wall Street were able to predict a crash in the market when these loans would be defaulted on, and bought insurance to bet against the market (essentially, buying short). Over a time period from roughly 2005-2008, the market crashed and huge banks and firms lost billions of dollars, filed for bankruptcy, or were bailed out by the government. These men, the characters of Lewis’s novel, were able to bet against the loans and made huge amounts of money, but it was not quite an easy journey. Michael Lewis is a non-fiction author and financial journalist. He has written several novels—notably Liar’s Poker in 1989, Moneyball in 2003, and The Blind Side in 2006. Born in New Orleans, he attended Princeton University, receiving a BA degree in Art History. After attending London School of Economics and receiving his masters there, he was hired by Salomon Brothers where he experienced much about what he wrote about in Liar’s Poker. He is currently married, with three children and lives in Berkeley, California. SUMMARY PROLOGUE: POLTERGEIST Michael Lewis begins his tale of the remarkable—and strange—men who predicted the immense fall of the housing market by immediately exposing himself as the exact opposite type of person from them. He explains to the reader that he has no background in accounting, business, or money managing.
