This new edition of the bestselling "Are You Dumb Enough to be Rich?" empowers readers to take their first steps toward real estate investing. The book walks readers through a special 120-day plan for starting down the road to real estate wealth. Barnett gives readers the information and resources they need to find the neighborhoods with the most potential, avoid the common pitfalls of real estate investment, and build personal and professional credibility.The new edition includes exciting trends and opportunities to take advantage of, changes in specific state laws ...even ways to actually profit from a downturn!

Straightforward and easy-to-follow, this book demonstrates that anyone can make money - lots of it! - in real estate.
