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

For decades the commercial property industry literature has claimed that ‘24-hour’ cities yield investment performance superior to so-called ‘9-to-5’ cities. When first made, the claim was highly original and ran counter to the received wisdom that the future belonged to "the Edge City." Yet this claim has never been rigorously analyzed, either from the point of view of urban studies or from the perspective of actual investment performance. In 24-hour Cities: Real Performance, Not Just Promises, esteemed real estate economist Hugh Kelly examines the evidence for the claim that the 24-hour city is "better". Through detailed historical reflection and the examination of 14 American cities, Kelly looks at the claims made for and against 24-hour cities, and attempts to sort out the hows and whys that emerge as we consider not only the differences between cities, but their comparative advantages. The results of his discussion have significant implications not only for the real estate industry, but for public planning and policy.
