About this ebook

Quit your day job!

Make a million in real estate!

It's easier than you think!

A few years ago, Matthew Martinez was a lot like you - he worked hard to make as big a salary as he could. But it wasn't enough. He worked by the clock, and yearned to be his own boss. With a small amount of savings, he acquired his first rental property. Two years later, he was making more from his rentals than he was working 9 to 5, so he quit his day job to oversee his real estate investments. Today, he enjoys a multi-million-dollar collection of income-producing properties--and he's ready to share his money-making strategies so you can begin your own journey to career and financial independence.

Two Years to a Million in Real Estateshows you everything you need to know, including how to

• Invest small amounts early-on while working a full-time job
• Avoid real estate “bubble” risks
• Get others to pay your mortgage for you
• Pick a hot property (and spot others that will become hot)
• Simplify the ins-and-outs of financing
• Negotiate like a pro
• Screen for reliable tenants
• Understand how local tenant laws work
• Hire good people to manage your properties
• Know when to sell

Ratings and reviews

This book changed my life. This book unveiled the truth about working smarter, not harder. The most valuable thing in life is "time." Owning real estate can help buy more time and provide financial freedom.

I am 3/4 into the book and I really have enjoyed it. I work at a commercial real estate investing fund and this has offered me more insight. If you plan on eventually getting into real estate, I would suggest this book.
