How to Be a Quick Turn Real Estate Millionaire: Make Fast Cash with No Money, Credit, or Previous Experience
When I first read the title of the book, I thought it'll give you everything you need to get real estate, boy was I wrong...it contains fluff about motivation, positive thinking (which I could read from other experts like Norman Vincent Peale, or Dale Carnegie), and pages of testimonials from his students. I'd say only 60% of the book is about real estate and even those parts are in broad strokes giving you concepts. Legrand even admits that its foolhardy to jump into real estate armed with the knowledge from only that book on pages 61-62.....the only things he'll go into detail is finding sellers, screening prospects, and how to sell your house effectively.If you want to spend your money efficiently and getting the most information for your hard-earned dollar, don't spend money on this book. But if you are someone who's clueless about real estate and want a general concept of no money down properties, then this book will help you and point you in the right direction, and this direction will point you to his website hawking is seminars and courses.Here's a tip I learned in reading real estate books: Before you buy a real estate book, go to the author's website and check if his/her products he/she sells are only his/her books....if it is, then the book contains everything he/she knows about that topic (hopefully), but if his/her other products includes high priced seminars, CDs, or DVDs, or courses...like Ron Legrand's website, then that book isn't giving you everything you need to know..

This is like those "tutorials" you find for computer programs: after the satisfied customer stumbles through it, they know nothing.If you read books like a goat eats dead grass, leaves, old paper and discarded rubbers, you'll read this, too, probably.If you want to rip people off, go out and find a certified con man. Do time. This guy just burns up his word processor and your money."Get rich quick. Buy and sell real estate". NO! Publish junk!

Ron's book is remarkable. I have been doing Real Estate Investing the LeGrand way for a year now. I have made a great profit and my wife and I are very excited about the prospect for the future. This book is a good foundation for more education on creative real estate by Ron and others.Quick Turn Real Estate is not a Get Rich Quick Scheme like some of the others, but it is a Get Rich Business. You can do this!!! with no money or credit!! I have done deals on properties of over $350,000 with only $250 of my own money in the deal.This book takes over where Robert Kiyosaki left off. It is the meat of the entree. I didn't know how to do real estate investing after the Rich Dad's Series, but it got me interested just like it was suppose to do. Ron and his techniques will get me where Robert said I needed to go.Fantastic. Buy it. Read it. Live it. Don't be a thinker brain, be an alligator brain and just do it.

Yes... Ron is right... 'don't expect miracles from a book.' Folks... this isn't a read a few chapters and suddenly be a genius type thing. He gives you examples of ways he has made tons of money in real estate and you shouldn't expect everything to work as planned or for there to be everything you need in this book. You still have to work your market... test stuff out... gain experience... learn the ropes... etc etc. For all the naysayers... I would say read it again and again... buy a few other books too... join some real estate forums... if you really want to succeed in real estate. And about his plugs for his bootcamps/courses... they are very good... but you don't need them... do with what you have and take ACTION.I'm reminded of a saying I heard a while ago "We will either find a way or make one." Good Luck

I just read a few of the reviews of Ron Legrand's book, and noticed that most people blast him. I would like to do just the opposite. I understand that I will be in the minority here, but then again, I am retired at 43, so I suppose I am already in the minority.I have nothing but praise for Ron and this book which 5 years ago started me on the road to retirement. It armed me with just enough knowledge to do my first wholesale deal. I found a house that I was able to put under contract according to Ron's advice and then flipped the contract (not even the house but the paper) to another investor. I made just over $5000 for a few hours of work!I was absolutely hooked. I used that 5k to attend one of his boot camps and about 1 year later I quit working as an engineer and within another year I was able to basically quit working altogether. I still buy houses, in fact I closed on one earlier this week, basically quit working altogether. I still buy houses, in fact I closed on one earlier this week, but I do not get up at the crack of dawn to sit in traffic like most of you reading this review. I have continued to attend his seminars, as well as other seminars related to real estate and Online Marketing. Since I am no longer part of the rat race I don't feel like university classes can teach me much, and seminars are a more viable approach for a person like me who has not used an alarm clock in several years.Is the book incomplete? Yes. Will it give you enough information to get started? Yes. Is it a plug for his courses? Yes. Will his courses change your life YES! If you are SERIOUS about getting yourself free from corporate slavery then I absolutely recommend it; however, if you are going to be one of the whiners who is disappointed because they read a book and magic fairies did not come and make them rich, then I suspect that any book like this will not be enough for you. Here's a hint for you folks, the books are not the problem...
