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

 Real Book from a Real Entrepreneur December 31, 2008
This is not a get rich quick or a "guru" book. This is a real book from a real guy. Matt used his limited cash, unlimited inventiveness and good old fashioned hard work to get where he got to.
One of the most important take aways from the book is that there is no substitute for doing your home work and understanding the business.
A must read.
you Must read Matt's book August 14, 2008
I just finished reading your book. Excellent. The best one I've read yet. It explains the real, traditional way to buy properties.

 A little outdated. August 5, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The book gave his account of how he continually acquired real estate properties and became a very successful real estate investor. Unfortunately, his method is a little outdated. Many of the loan programs he discusses are no longer available due to the current mortgage crisis. It's now nearly impossible to acquire a investment property with only 10% down and most people no longer have the equity in their homes to do what he did in 2002.
He does make some very good points about skipping the properties that don't produce monthly income and I like his strategies to avoid equity-only investing. It's proven to be very good advice since the book was published.
Overall, I'd recommend it as a read to beginner investors but in today's market, the title just won't hold up.
Solid, realistic, detailed information...no fluff! August 5, 2008
I really enjoyed this book. I've read several like it and most are filled with essentially the same point worded differently again and again. This book was not like that at all. Instead, it is a comprehensive, detailed read on all aspects of finding, purchasing and (most importantly) RUNNING a rental business. The author does not pull any punches and delivers clear suggestions, pertinent examples, and ultimately, a well structured missive that should be required reading for anyone looking to learn more about getting into the rental real estate market. Highly recommended.
This book is the real deal August 5, 2008
As a bookauthor and investor I highly recommend anyone getting involved in the real estate arena to read Matt's books.
I have personally known the author for many years and I can tell you that there are few top notch investors like him out there that have his knowledge and financial saviness at the time of purchasing and managing multifamily units. We all have a lot to learn from him.
In "2 Years to a Million in Real Estate", I enjoyed reading his stories and the way he positively handled difficult situations with tenants.
-- A Must read! --
