REVIEW:I've been investing in real estate for 20 years and I love it. It has made me a very nice living and has made it possible for me to build something of value that I can leave to my children and grandchildren.I'm not easily impressed by real estate 'gurus' anymore because I've seen just about everything under the sun when it comes to putting deals together.But this system IS different. Here is what I like about it:1. He breaks down no money down deal structures in a way that I've never seen before in my entire 20 years of seminar going. I've used every one of these structures, but I never really thought about how they work together and which one is better than the other for different types of deals. I also never thought about why one structure is safer than another depending on the type of deal you are doing and your intended exit strategy.2. I like simple deals. I like to close them quickly and without fuss. He shows you how to make that happen regularly, consistently and profitably. He also shows you how to have a constant pipeline of deals waiting in the wings. I've been doing deals that take just a few minutes to put together - just like he teaches and anyone who asks me gets the same advice - don't use banks, don't use hard money - they take too long and have too much risk - use no money down structures and learn how to make offers that sellers will accept.3. I like automation like this - especially automation and marketing that is so original - I've never heard this stuff at a seminar before. I'm an old dog and when I see my 6 year old grandson clicking through his homework on his computer like it was an extension of his arm, I feel pretty stupid. But Crump has created a system that is both, very, very complex - and, at the same time - extremely easy to use. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to make it work, but I expect he had to be a rocket scientist to create it. I'm proud of myself when I can send an email - so it says something when I can pull this off.4. I don't like being fed a line of BS. I want the facts and I don't want a lot of sugar coating and fluff. I've heard all the rah, rah stuff before and all I really want is the hard techniques I can use in my business today. On that count, this book delivers.5. This is the part I like the most. I gave my son a copy of this book to read. He's always been a geek and never really interested in real estate investing before, but after he read through this book he sat down with me and asked me if I wanted to try this stuff together. Now, I don't know about you, but having your kid want to do business with you is like taking a couple of damn happy pills. Anyway - joking aside, he's going to do the tech work and I'm going to do the talking (the part I'm good at and have been doing so long).By the way, this is a Kindle book and I thought I had to buy a Kindle to read it - turns out that isn't true. I was able to read it on the free Kindle software on my PC. It even reads it to you if you want.Get this book if you want to build a business and not just do a couple deals.
