And Donald Trump is coming to Seattle in a few weeks too, to hawk HIS books and tapes to MAKE YOU RICH!

John Reed, author and real estate educator and has published an extensive review of Carleton Sheets books and tapes, and done quite a bit of background research on this man.

Says Reed:

Sheets targets beginners. The curriculum he devised for those novices is not what I think beginners need to know. In fact, it appears to me that the topics he chose to write about were selected to maximize Carleton Sheets' income, not to increase the incomes of his customers.

The customers that most real estate gurus go after are relatively uneducated, inexperienced, and poor. Sheets spent much of his adult life as a salesman. One of the main things salesmen must do is overcome objections. As you would expect, one of the objections you run into when you try to sell investment advice to poor people is, "I don't have any money to invest."

While I think people can and do make money in real estate, it's usually the old-fashioned way. I did personally know a guy who took advances on his credit cards and used them as a down-payment on a house in Magnolia. But he eventually lost the house. I also know a guy who used a very expensive oriental rug as a down-payment on a condo, but it was on a condo the seller owned free-and-clear. No bank is going to go for something like that.

A good way to make money in the real estate game is with your first house. But a house a little tired around the edges in a good neighborhood. Slowly fix it up while you live there and trade up. I know of one couple living in a $2 million dollar view mansion on the South slope of Queen Anne Hill. They started with a little dumper 19 HOUSES AGO, but they did it and many other people I know have done it. You can do it too. Slowly and over a period of years, but it's possible to have a beautiful home and make money in the real estate game. All the information you need you can get for free, in the public library. It's exactly as your parents told you: Read a lot, save your money, work hard, invest carefully, be prudent.......
