Share This Review

How Trends Make You A Smarter Investor by Gabrielle Dahms is a manual for someone willing to dive into the world of real-estate investments. The book provides the reader with great insight into the nitty-gritty of real estate investing, a great deal of information about taxes, loans, use of technology, active and passive investing, and much more. The book, although covers lengths of information for someone with zero knowledge about real-estate investment, it is very short and precise in length. The author helps the reader evaluate the right timing and how to mitigate risks, with her hand-on experience and supporting stories.

Judging the book by the cover (guilty as charged) my initial impression of the book was of a narrative filled with complex terminologies and lengths of hoarded information about how to get rich as soon as possible. Although the book does contain complex terminologies of the real-estate world such as IRS, IRA, Crowdfunding, etc. the author takes her sweet time in dissecting each one of them to ease the author into the narrative. The author makes sure to remind the reader to get a personal experience, hence prevents anyone from believing that real estate investment is an easy world to conquer.

The book was surprisingly not monotonous. The author gives information, but also real-life experiences. The author gives advice but also reminds you that your hands might get dirty. And instead of a frivolous hoard of paragraphs, the author maintains an amiable and engaging tone, providing some important lessons in separately bold sentences. Having read multiple articles about real-estate management, it’s safe to say that the author succeeded in providing a unique touch to her work and a strong sense of universality. One of my favorite lines is “Conventional Wisdom Limits Intelligent Decision-making.”

The writing style of the author is very simple, yet the vocabulary employed is very empowering. The author knows the difference between repetition and emphasis and makes sure to avoid any unnecessary information. The sentences formed are very concise; the flow and readability of the book make it a very interesting read.

Throughout the book, I came across only one typo so the book is professionally edited. Without any doubt, I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars for its brilliance. The book does not contain any profanity or anything improper. This book would be worth a read for people who wish to get into the real-estate investment business or even those who are already deep into it. People who merely wish to increase their knowledge on the matter will also enjoy it.

You definitely had me at "very short and precise" because it's tough to see investment books that can achieve that.

Thank You for an insightful review.

Too bad a lot of laws and regulations change dramatically from country to country, so for an Italian it's of limited use, but for Americans it seems very userful. Thank you for your great review!
