I am interested in the field of Real Estate and purchased this book last year. I finally finished it and I found it to be informative and easy to read and understand. The short chapters were especially nice as you could sit down for an hour (or less) and finish a chapter. I can't comment on how it prepares you for the test as I haven't taken it but it seems to cover all the technical aspects of real estate. It does not cover how to actually convince people to buy, sell, etc. I purchased this book partly on the recommendation of other comments posted here and I was not disappointed.

There are a lot of books out there selling the idea of: nothing down, flipping, listing, rehabbing, wholesaling, the list goes on and on.

Each and every one of these authors has had experience in Real Estate. They explain this information as if the reader already knows the stuff. I would guess that 99% of the fortunes they've made has been through the writing of their books. Everyone wants to find a short-cut, including me.

I finally decided I would go back to the basics, and go to R.E. school, whether I got my license was not the issue. The curriculum for the class is this book. It does not contain any creativity or complex equations, which is perfect for the beginner.

I've read many get-rich in real-estate books, and have found great information in all of them. This book, however, is the meat and spuds. Buy it & read it.

I think this book is one of the best in learning how to get your license
