GREAT POST.

Do you remember the name of the real estate book where you first discovered options? I'd love take a read.

Thanks, Ryan M.

Hi Ryan, the book I found out about hidden options in rental
contracts was
"How to Buy Real Estate for at Least 20% Below Market Value,"
by John T. Reed. The author is a very savvy guy a West Point
graduate and very sharp businessman. He has a website where
he rates other real estate gurus and he has some pretty
unflattering things to say about some of them.
he does give a few tips about how to find rental properties
with options, for example sometimes they are recorded
and you can check the public documents. but that
does not look easy. Unless, the documents are digital and
you can come up with a custom search! If you do
let me know!

John Reed lives in CA and is quite a guy to speak with. I read some of his material when I was a CA real estate broker. I even spoke with John about an insurance company with which he was having a dispute. It just so happened I had the same insurance company.

There are several good books about real estate options. If you are near your library stop in and browse through their selection. In a lot of areas the local county or city MLS has materials for sale.

Good luck with your real estate career.
