by Karim Jaude (Author)
Karim Jaude has founded and operated nineteen successful companies in eight countries. To date, his offices have handled more than $20 billion in real estate transactions. He has developed, invested in, rehabbed, financed, and managed properties ranging from single family homes to condo projects and apartment buildings, from shopping centers to office and industrial buildings, from hotels to land to mixed-use properties. In other words, The Smart Real Estate Investor's Guide is no primer written by an inexperienced theorist. It is, in essence, a bible of cumulative experience written by an individual who faced both the highs and lows of the real estate market and yet always managed ultimately to come out on top. The book is peppered with fascinating real-life stories of property owners, buyers, sellers, managers, and investors, many who worked with Karim. And he tells it like is-both the good and the bad. The majority of real estate books have been written for different types of markets and teach strategies that do not work in today's challenging times. But The Smart Real Estate Investor's Guide has been updated regarding the challenges brought about during the financial crisis of August 2008. The book addresses the new realities of the post-subprime real estate market and teaches the unchanging principles Karim Jaude has learned in forty-plus years of experience as a real estate investor.
