With 16 priceless lessons that reduce risk through proper planning, this powerhouse guide removes the mystique from successful investing by helping readers switch from thinking poor to thinking rich.The rich are different from the rest of us, if for no other reason than U.S. tax and securities laws allow them to invest in ways that keep us from catching up to them. That’s why 90 percent of all corporate shares of stock are owned by 10 percent of the people. Kiyosaki believes it’s possible for anyone to move up into that 10 percent, but it takes a different view of investing than most people have: it takes a plan to be a successful investor. And a plan is more than simply buying and selling, or collecting “assets” that bring in no cash and are thus more akin to liabilities. The way most people invest, “they might as well be pushing a wheelbarrow in a circle,” he writes. A plan is “mechanical, automatic, and boring,” a formula for success that has worked historically for most of those who’ve used it. Kiyosaki’s “rich dad” (actually, the father of his best friend) tells him the simplest analogy is the game Monopoly: buy four green houses, trade them for one red hotel, and repeat until you become rich.

The overall message of Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing is that this is an abundant world, full of opportunity for the sophisticated investor. However, it sometimes takes a while to find this point. Much of the book is told in dialogues between young Kiyosaki and his rich dad, and these conversations can ramble. There are rewards for the careful reader–for example, in the middle of a section on the basic rules of investing, Kiyosaki’s rich dad compares investor education to toilet training: difficult at first but eventually automatic. But getting to these inspired metaphors means wading through a lot of repetitive dialogue. It’s a bit ironic that someone who advocates investor discipline should show so little as a writer. But by the end of the book, even the rambling starts to make sense. By the hundredth time you read that the rich don’t work for money, and that you don’t need money to make money, both concepts start to make sense. It still looks difficult to apply these ideas, but Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing certainly makes the case that they’ll work for anyone bold and smart enough to practice them. –Lou Schuler

Praise for After The Fall

“Steve Bergsman provides his readers with one of the most comprehensive, yet concise overviews of real estate and all its property types.”—Christopher Macke, Vice President, GE Real Estate

“This is an extraordinary work of detailed research and compelling writing. I’ve never seen the subject presented in such a cogent and skillful manner.”—Phil Hall, editor, Secondary Marketing Executive

“The way out of the financial crash of 2007/2008 will come through skilled operations, astute investing, and the ability of real estate practitioners to give up their mental memory of the future! The heated success of ten-year, unprecedented growth in the real estate industry has somehow atrophied the industry’s application of knowledge. What we need is a fresh look at opportunities and strategies for real estate investing. We are lucky that Bergsman’s book has fit the bill—just in time.”—Jack M. Cohen, CEO, Cohen Financial

“Insightful and informative; connects all the dots, providing the basis and foundation for making strategic decisions about real estate.”—Stephen Blank, Senior Fellow, Finance, The Urban Land Institute
