Отрывок из книги

As you read this book, you'll understand how important it is to assemble the right team to help you with your real estate investments. The right team was also crucial in the writing of this book, and I am most grateful to all those who shared their expertise, advice, and inspiration as this project unfolded.

I am especially grateful to my personal editor, Mary Dempsey, who worked tirelessly day and night. Without her, this book would not have been possible. Mitch Chefitz planted the seed for the book, and Bill Falloon at John Wiley & Sons made sure it saw water and sunshine. Many thanks to Taylor Larimore for recommending me to Bill, and to Emilie Herman, Laura Walsh, Christina Verigan, Kathryn Hancox, and Michael Henton at John Wiley & Sons for their editing and excellent follow-up work.

Some of these fears may be self-imposed, while others come from external influences. But there's a single antidote for all of them: knowledge. The better you understand the “fear factors,” the less intimidated you'll be. Let's explore the principal “fear factors.”
