      A beautiful little book that eschews risky get-rich-fast schemes in favor of a sustainable long-term approach to wealth accumulation through real estate investing. I am 53 now but I wish I had read this book when I was much younger. It would have saved me a lot of pain and loss along the way - financial and otherwise…. The book’s pages are packed with wisdom and insights that apply not only to real estate investing but to life. Thanks to Gabrielle Dahms for putting together such a gem of a book!

      - Calvin Burnes, real estate investor

      What I enjoyed most about this book is how the author was able to break down a complex subject into understandable terms and strategies. I have been a real estate agent for some time and know that real estate investment is a complicated process as there is so much to consider. In How Trends Make You A Smarter Investor, the author concisely and clearly explains all the steps that a regular person, new to the real estate investing world, would need to know. A very good and skilled read. One I highly recommend not only to my clients but to anyone interested in taking steps towards real estate investment.

      - Laurent Martini, San Francisco realtor™

      A real gem! Having made a bit of money reselling each of my own homes, I was wondering what it would take to do that on a continuing basis with other properties. This book laid it all out, in non-technical terms, and defines, in layman’s term, the technical ones. The author explains the role of various agencies, local and federal, some of which I never knew existed. If you are planning to go into the field, as I am, this is the place to start. Can’t wait for the promised sequel on how to find the right markets in which to invest.

      - Cliff Leventhal, entrepreneur

      How Trends Make You A Smarter Investor has a wonderful section on 21st century topics in real estate, such as cryptocurrency, the gig economy and the opportunities it creates. It delves into the current effects of technology on the real estate industry in general. I found the book's focus on how real estate shapes our society very interesting. For instance, it addresses green homes and community-focused real estate. It is also an easy and informative read, good for people who are new to real estate and real estate investing.

      - Diana Cale, coach

      In real estate, I've always assumed that you invest for land appreciation. You try to cover your costs as you hold the asset. You don't overprice rentals, and you not only don't skimp on maintenance but also you don't rush to make improvements the market isn't demanding.

      Well, Ms. Dahms dispels that notion and offers her hands-on advice about how to think about the investor's role given what's happening in the markets today, especially in urban areas.

      I particularly like her emphasis on responsible investing, that the investor is a participant in the community and necessarily plays a key role in sustainability and quality of life. I also respect her belief that real-estate investing can be an empowering field for women. This is not, thank goodness, another – yawn- flipper's guide.

      About the Author

      Why This Book?

      I am a realtor (TM). I represent sellers and buyers of residential real estate. After several years in real estate sales, I ventured into real estate investing. The overlap between real estate sales and real estate investing is similar in some respects. But real estate investment can be distinct from real estate sales.

      It can be a different world. In a time where permanent jobs with benefits are waning, real estate investing appeals to many people. Some are in search of security, others want to become rich. All want to better themselves.

      In addition, the communities we live in can benefit from real estate investing. The ideal result is a fairer, more caring, and open society. Investors can succeed and make a positive difference where they own by delivering on societal trend demands in local markets. As real estate investors, we must examine our underlying societal values and personal desires.

      And women will play a much bigger role in real estate investing and in improving their communities. The real estate sales business has no gender requirements and showcases several successful women. But in commercial real estate and in real estate investing women are not yet well-represented. It is time to change this.

      The book aims to inspire as many women and men as possible to become successful real estate investors. That means you. Better yet, I would love for you to soar to financial independence and in the process improve your communities.

      Happy reading and investing!

      Introduction

      So, you want to become a real estate investor?

      Perhaps you already are one. Millions dream of being real estate investors. They imagine riches. They want to travel, drive a Jaguar, live in a beautiful home. Or they want to leave a legacy for their children, bask in success, help their family, or choose to work or pursue their interests and hobbies. To some, freedom is the driving force, to others stability. Countless books, podcasts, and seminar gurus feed such desires. So why another book?

      The book discusses the nut and bolts of real estate investing. It helps to relate real estate investing to the world around you. It delves into real estate trends and their defining sub-trends. It then segues into more nuanced perspectives to international, national, regional, state, and local levels.

      The larger picture rests on the fundamentals. Proficient, savvy investors understand the fundamentals. Then they apply them to the problems and the opportunities that arise.

      Real estate investors paint their canvas with designs that work and that solve problems - with problems small or large. Problems that may be our own or those of others. Either way, landlords, wholesalers, rehabbers, buy-and-hold investors, or developers solve problems. The tools they use include other people’s money, leverage, and negotiation. Yet everything they do starts with a specific mindset. This book explores all that.

      Next, we also consider a holistic
