From 0 to 130 Properties in 3.5 Years – Book Review

Well this is my first book review and what a great book to review. From 0 to 130 Properties in 3.5 Years is the first book I bought on real estate investing. It was this book that made me believe that I could possibly become really rich and retire early.

I thought I would do it through real estate investing, but I ended up making money online.

This book is written by Steve McKnight and as the title suggests, he is a very successful real estate developer who has gone from owning 0 properties to owning 130 properties, earning him over $200,000 per year, in just 3 years. and a half. This is a phenomenal achievement by anyone’s standards.

This book takes a different approach to real estate investing than many other books and suggests that you should invest in what is known as “positively oriented property,” where you make money from renting the property, not from the capital gains that the property generates. property.

Part 1 – First steps

This section of the book is great because Steve shares his story with you and shows how he got his start from humble beginnings as a real estate developer. He shares in detail the decisions he and his investment partner made and how they went from working 9-to-5 in finance to becoming full-time real estate developers in just a few years.

Part 2 – Real Estate Investing Home Truths

This is where Steve takes you through the basics of how you make money investing in positively oriented property and how you can do it. He shares with you the math behind it and also shows you why most real estate investors only own one of two properties and no more. You can overcome this and own more than 5 properties with the help of Steve.

Part 3 – Strategies to make money on properties

This is where Steve explains (in quite a bit of detail) the different strategies people use to make money from positively oriented properties. There are many different ways that differ from the traditional ‘Buy and Hold’, which is buying a property and simply renting it out. Steve goes through them, making them pretty easy to understand and control.

Part 4 – Application of knowledge

There is no point in learning something and then never applying it. So Steve spends some time in this chapter teaching you how you can apply this to your own life and getting you to ask important questions like “Does this really work?” and “What’s my next move?” This section of the book focuses heavily on you taking action.

Part 5 – More of Nitty Gritty

In this section, Steve talks about the principles of wealth building and takes a closer look at negative leverage and why you might want to avoid it. This section also contains some ‘Tenants of Hell’ stories that he will soon be able to avoid after learning from the experiences of others given in this section of the book.

my review

This book is written for the average Joe as well as the million dollar investor. If he has never invested in real estate before, and even if he has, this book is a MUST READ. It’s a must-read because it approaches real estate investing from a completely different angle than many other books don’t. He can learn a lot from this book and then he can easily become a real estate investor with the skills he will learn.
