Title: painful reading
Product review: Considering a move towards Real Estate investing I bought this book based on others reviews. What a mistake. Sugars dispenses his advice about RE investing via dialogue between Brian, Sarah, and "Coach"--their RE advisor. I wanted sound, factual advice. Instead I got mad at Sugars/"Coach" for his arrogant, misogynist tone--Sarah has confidence issues, Brian has ADD. This vehicle for teaching RE investing is insipid and the reading painful. I don't know enough about RE investing yet to determine whether the advice is sound or not, however I do know enough about business writing--an English major in college and an editor for a consulting firm--to say that if this book was ghost-written, the writer should be fired alongwith the editor at McGraw Hill who allowed this abomination to be published. If Sugars wrote it himself, well it's a good thing he made his money elsewhere. If you're into masochism and RE investing then buy this book, otherwise save your money.
