Nothing Down

So straight forward. Even 30+ years after it was written, its still relevant to the real estate market - everywhere. Let this be your property investment bible.

This was the book that piqued my interest in real estate. The two words that got my attention were "Nothing Down" because at that time, I had nothing to put down on a property. While many have followed, Allen was the first to bring to the masses the efficacy of using No Money Down techniques. These techniques are time tested and proven. They work. This version started it all. I would recommend that you get Nothing Down 2000 which is the newest, update version.

I came across this copy in a used book store. I bought it for a few bucks but it has made a small fortune for me. Nothing Down provides all the strategies you need to take advantage of real estate investing and launch yourself to financial self reliance. This book has a very special place in my library and in my heart.

My intro to Robert Allen was actually through his book Creating Wealth over 20 years ago! After reading Creating Wealth I added this book and went to work investing in R.E. the Robert Allen way. And just in time too. In 1986 the democrats pushed congress to pass new policies in the tax code taking away the huge tax deductions that the ultra rich were enjoying in R.E. This created an incredible selling market for the uninformed and an incredible buying opportunity for Bob Allen students who understood Real Estate. What Bob Allen predicted in Creating Wealth about the "Upcoming Enormous Profit in Discounted Mortgages" also became fact and many of us enjoyed incredible 20%-50% or higher returns (and still are today) with this fantastic strategy. I have since replaced my original dog eared copy of Nothing Down with Nothing Down for the 90's. Bob Allen, great book. Thank you!
