Amazon Customer: Informative while Honest, David does such a fantastic job showing the reader the ease that can come working with long distance real estate.

Amath: David did an amazing job with this book. I would say that, before reading this book, the idea or concept of owning investment properties outside of my immediate jurisdiction seemed as crazy as owning investment properties outside my immediate jurisdiction... meaning, completely counterintuitive. This book contains not just theory, but common sense and David's actual experiences. Most importantly: guidelines and rules of thumb born from decades of hard won lessons in the industry. This is one the best books on investing I've ever read, and most highly recommended. His personal stories were very humanizing, and proof it can be done - by anyone.

I found this book by listening to the bigger pockets podcast, so if you're reading this without having listened to that podcast, go look it up! Great stuff. David Greene is the guru of real estate investing, par excellence - no need to climb the mountain for this guru, just open Spotify. He's also on IG @davidgreene24
Great book!

Abby Karlsson: This book is GOLD. Looking for time freedom and a new way to go about things, we have been listening to David’s advice regarding real estate investing (via his other books and podcasts) since the start of the pandemic…yet long distance investing still seemed like such a big scary next step. However, we trusted him and his teaching and this book played a MAJOR role in our own success with our first long distance real estate investment project. It’s clear, concise, action oriented, and full of necessary tips and info you just can’t afford to miss if you want to do it, and do it right. Highly recommend!

BrianScottK: This was actually the first book I ever read on rental property investing, which ultimately piqued my interest so much, I went on to read 6 more and counting.

David has a knack for breaking down the process of rental property investing into these teeny, tiny manageable bites that just make it so easy for ANYONE to get started. I bought my first rental property after completing this book and have not looked back, since buying 3 more units.

This is an essential read for anyone interested in rental property investing, period, and shouldn't simply be reserved for those looking to do so long-distance.

The processes David describes for Long Distance are super applicable anywhere. Why? Because investing someplace that isn't nearby forces you to implement systems, and those systems work everywhere, and I'd argue make you an even better investor than DIY'ing this part over here and that piece over there, just because the property is close-by and "you can".

If you are remotely considering rental property investing, you will not regret reading this.

Chris Vance: This was an amazing read. Not only was the book packed full of actionable steps needed for someone looking to invest out of state/country, the stories and examples David shares from past deals gave me a better understanding of the various strategies and my overall retention of the material was drastically elevated. I recommend this book, along with a note pad, highlighter, and sticky notes, for anyone looking to start their long distance real estate business. As a follow up to this book, I have started the BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refi, repeat) book. This will be the strategy I deploy out of state. You can also grab this book on amazon. If the deals doesn't make sense in your market, break down the barrier and invest in another market. Thanks David

Shane G: I am enjoying the book quite a bit so far. For a while I believed that it was just a lot harder to invest in Canada than the United States because of the housing prices in larger cities. After hearing about the book a number of times on the Bigger Pockets podcast I decided to do a serious search of the smaller cities in my Province, and I found that there were good deals to be found. Obviously it's quite daunting for a beginner to think about investing from a distance, so I picked up this book to learn all I can, and it has not disappointed. The biggest impact it's had so far is that it's given me confidence- not only is long distance investing doable, but if you put in the work and implement the correct systems there's nothing to be afraid of.

Daniel Smith: I want to start by saying that I get very frustrated with books that I’ve paid money for that have clearly been overlooked in the editing department. There were multiple times in the book that I noticed grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, and poorly worded sentences. I’ll do my best to not let those wrong-doings affect my review, but would it kill you to just hit spell check one more time before sending this thing to the printer?

The Good:
David Greene has clearly experienced living in a high-priced city and being forced to invest in other parts of the country to make money. He resides in the San Francisco Bay area and started his investing career while being a police officer. That, in itself, is an impressive feat. He mentions in the book a few times that he was a millionaire by thirty, which is definitely something he should be proud of and is definitely an inspiring statement to make.

He attributes 100% of his success to being able to invest in lower priced parts of the U.S. while leaning heavily on his teams in the local areas. He boasts not even needing to see properties and relying almost exclusively on the vendors that he’s created ties with to do...
