Very Helpful!
This book is amazing! I though I could just take notes on some key points like I did with other investment books, but she has so much useful information, I have to buy my own copy. There would have been way too much to write down. A definite read for those looking to invest in real estate. The Rich Dad, Poor Dad series is great too!:)

Suprised on how detailed this book was!
I was frankly suprised at the level of detail and instructions in this book.Most real estate 'how-to' books keep it pretty high level but in this one, there are specific detailed action items to take and found it very informative, even as an experienced real estate investor!

I've personally met Karen Nelson Bell at the enlightened wealth institute and have a high regard for her success!

Totally Awesome!!!
I love this book! It was very informational and a lot of examples to go along with it, in addition to testimonies. It also mentions alot of real world mistakes and what routes not to take! When I first picked up the book and looked at the amount of pages, I started to put it down and read one of the other shorter books I had ordered along with it and tackle this one the following week, but once I started reading, I could not put it down. 5 KUDOS for Karen! Thanks you so much for the information and writing it from a Woman's Perspective!

Nothing Down for Women
This book teaches you about Real Estate Investing in basic steps.The chapter assignments demonstrate the simplicity of the writer's strategies.

Naysayers abound-- must be powerful stuff!!
I was appalled to read the purported review by Publishers Weekly. I truly thought the days when the worn out out down of female power by labeling it/us as "shrill" were over.

But then I realized-- this means it really rang the reviwer's chimes. He -- and I have never heard a woman call another women shrill--would have felt no need to default to imitation and cheap shots if there were not something important going on here.

For anyone who has read the book or spoken to Karen, this accusation needs no rebuttal. For those who dare to believe there can be a better way to get ahead than the "dog eat dog" way-- be aassured there is a better way, it is being done, and you will know in your heart if this is right for you.

and for the record-- reviewers far more expert than PW have had glowing words for this book. And so do I.

Product Description
This groundbreaking new volume on social sustainability offers both critique and creative solutions. It challenges the conventional wisdoms of social sustainability and presents practical examples of projects that will help practitioners to think carefully and innovatively about the situations they are addressing.

The book consists of original contributions from academics working in the fields of urban planning, housing, regeneration, transport and international sustainable development. Drawing on case study research gathered in the UK, Europe and Africa, it adopts an original, interdisciplinary approach to both theory and practice, illustrating the challenges and opportunities facing policy-makers and practitioners attempting to develop, manage and maintain sustainable communities. The authors argue that the dominant approach of how-to-do small scale social sustainability fails to locate it within broader social processes. Ignoring the context not only sustains, but also actively reproduces wider inequalities.

The book presents a new, more coherent and more complete approach to issues of social sustainability in urban areas. The book approaches current urban policy discourses in three different ways, represented by three sections: firstly focusing on small places within the urban fabric, secondly addressing the whole urban fabric by examining whether changing urban living and working patterns. The third section explores some of the ways that funding can be secured to achieve the aims of social sustainability and the social planning associated with it. ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Marcus Albert Reno (November 15, 1834 March 30, 1889) was a career military officer in the American Civil War and in the Black Hills War against the Lakota (Sioux) and Northern Cheyenne. He is most noted for his role in the Battle of Little Big Horn, which created controversy over his reputation. Reno was born November 15, 1834, in Carrollton, Illinois, the fourth child of James and Charlotte Reno. According to one biographer, he was a descendant of Phillippe Francois Renault, who in 1777 accompanied Lafayette to America and was awarded a land grant by the U. S. (worth about $400 million by Reno's time). At the age of 15, he wrote to the Secretary of War to learn about the qualifications necessary to enter the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. He was admitted and attended West Point from 1851 until 1857, graduating 20th in a class of 38. He was brevetted second lieutenant, 1st Dragoons, on July 1, 1857, and assigned to duty in the Pacific Northwest in Oregon. Reno served in the Union Army in the Civil War, leading as a captain in the U.S. 1st Cavalry Regiment at the Antietam. Reno was wounded at Kelly's Ford in Virginia on March 17, 1863, and was given the brevet rank of major for gallant and meritorious conduct. Four months later, he served during the Gettysburg Campaign. That same year, he married Mary Hannah Ross of Harrisburg, who would bear him one son, Robert Ross Reno. They owned a farm near New Cumberland, Pennsylvania in Cumberland County. When she died in 1874, Reno was in the field in Montana. He rode all night to Fort Benton to request leave to attend her funeral, bu...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1602368 ... Read more
