Tools of Financing
Posted on January 22, 2007 - Filed Under Business |
Bookstores are great. I can spend hours, browsing Barnes and Noble with my steamy Americano. No matter what topic, something can be found that piques my curiosity.
Of course, the real estate section is on my path.
Tyler Hicks "How to acquire $1 million in real estate in one year using borrowed money in your free time."
Here’s my book report.
Yes, the author wants you to buy more of his books. Yes, the author has a news letter he wants you to subscribe to. Yes, the author has new career opportunities you can pursue for only $100.
Which author these days doesn’t?
Get over it.
Some people argue if you can glean one or two good pieces of information from a book then it was probably worth it. I agree with this statement. Most books I pick up are filled with a bunch of information I already know. What I look for are topics or maybe chapters of information that I don’t know about.
In this book, I found that.
There’s a chapter in this book dedicated to financing. I had no clue that there were 49 different types of mortgages. More importantly, there are more than 49 different types of mortgages. He outlines them all in his book, listing the pros and cons of each and examples.
For me, I only knew of 2 or 3 different types. But forty nine?
Each loan type of interest, Lord Google provided all kinds of information including which lenders deal with those specific loan programs. Suddenly the world of financing future deals became much brighter.
The reviews on Tyler Hicks were quite harsh. It seems people are upset because Mr Hicks doesn’t tell them exactly, step by step, what they need to do. They are also upset because he has a news letter subscription he wants you to buy. But these reviews don’t discuss the content of the book: financing.
Anyway the next time you’re at the book store, pick this one up and skim through it. If you find some things of interest, you can always write them down and leave the book. But for $10?

As a recovering engineer, the worst case scenario of any design always falls directly into my field of vision.
