Real estate investing can be an excellent way to build wealth, but it can also be a snare for those who lack preparation, planning, and realistic expectations. 

In this short but insightful book, Frank Gallinelli, the author of the best-selling "What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow…" guides you through some investment principles you can live by. 

From cautionary tales about the process of due diligence and the hazards of self-styled "experts," to discussion of identifying your investment objectives, Gallinelli helps you focus on best practices.
