How to Win In Commercial Real Estate Investing

April 21, 2014
Coppola steps in to write this latest in the "Rich Dad" book series and although it offers many of the formulaic ingredients that usually make the series successful, this one reads more like an infomercial for real estate investment. Coppola does his best to make his credentials known early on, declaring on the first page that he was six-time "Office Broker of the Year." Yet facts Coppola offers to convince readers to invest in real estate aren't necessarily factual ("There's a pride of ownership in real estate that you don't get when you own stocks") and bring into question his agenda. Still, Coppola employs the helpful tools often found in the series, such as fill-in-the-blank worksheets, in addition to his own helpful spreadsheets, key points, and sample letter of intent. Still, the book's premise of "nine weeks to making an offer" plan is an overestimation of the audience's ability to accomplish what will likely take much longer.
