Fantastic Guide!

Im looking for a home in Spain and wasnt sure where to start. Ive found this book is a really useful resource for property searching in Spain, since it tells you everything in simple "steps to buying" and covers all the detailed aspects, including legal issues. The price guide to properties is really good and detailed, since it covers each region, and there are lots of photos of all sorts of properties so you get a really good feel for the differences. I have also bought the French Property Buying Guide by the same publishers and I must say that Ive found them both really useful

Real Estate Investment Basics

I read the original Rich Dad, Poor Dad and had high hopes for this book. I was a little disappointed by it, though. Yes, it does have some good information but it seems to be more general principles rather than specific information that could be used. It felt to me like a pamphlet that had been padded out into a book. If youre an absolute beginner (like me) then its probably worth it but I suspect more experienced property investors may find it too basic. One other criticism I have is that at times the book came across like an advertising vehicle for some of Dolf de Roos other books. More than once I was irritated to read something along the lines of "there are dozens of different ways of doing such-and-such, read my other book to find out what they are." Having said all that the book does have some good information. Some of his principles will stick with me, such as: You make your profit when you buy, not when you sell; Buy from a motivated seller (who needs a sale) to get the best value; Seldom sell (to avoid taxes and transaction costs); You need to look at 100 houses to find the one bargain. The last principle particularly impressed me, Dolf is not claiming that this is a get rich quick scheme that allows money to fall into your lap without any work. Overall, worth it for beginners but I suspect if youve read a few other property investment books this wont give you any new insights.
