About this listen

How did a high school dropout amass a portfolio of one thousand apartments? This rags-to-riches story could be your story. Learn the lessons they don’t teach you in school. Learn invaluable information about buying or owning rental properties, hard moneylending, foreclosure sales, starting a hedge fund by yourself, and much more. If I can do this, you can too!

Enjoy true life stories that will make you laugh out loud and shrink in disgust and will send chills down your spine. In this book, I will share my story, which I hope you will find entertaining. I want to warn you that this is not the story of Donald Trump or The Richest Man in Babylon. If you are hoping for stories of extreme wealth and high finance, you will not find them here.

I am a humble man living an upper-middle-class lifestyle (with a few perks). My philosophy has been to live within my means, and this philosophy is reflected in the types of stories you will find here. My story could be your story. My story is achievable and easy to understand. It extends beyond the world of real estate and can be related to all types of businesses.

Great business book from a school of hard knocks

This book explains that longterm realestate isn’t just being a passive investor. Tye shows that this is a physical and contact sport with an eye on the long game.

Great read for novice and experts alike.

Fun listen

not a "how-to" book, nor a rags-to-riches story

Eck! I’ve never given a one-star review before, on any site, so this is a first for me. He starts out the book talking about how if you’re “woke,” and don’t like content that is politically correct, this isn’t the book for you. But the problem isn’t wokeness or political correctness; the problem is the author’s complete lack of self-awareness of his own so-called rags-to-riches story.

FYI…if you thought this was a book about how to invest in real estate to become a millionaire…it is not.

The TLDR of it is that he’s a smarmy businessman who thinks he is successful because of his own hard work and strong work ethic. He posits the story as a classic rags-to-riches tale, per the name of the book, totally clueless of how many times he mentions he “made phone calls” to get someone to give him money for a new apartment building.

I probably wouldn’t have thought twice about this had he not made it a point of telling a new instance of making these phone calls in… Every. Single. Chapter. Seriously, every single chapter gives an example of him using connections to buy a new place. While I don’t question the hard work he may have put into restoration and upkeep on properties, I do question his self-indulgent idea that his success is because of his hard work alone.

After several examples in the book of various schemes that were not-quite-above-board, he ends one chapter confessing that he’s worried that he may be an unlikable person. Unironically, the title of the next chapter “Greater Phoenix Slumlord Association.” No, seriously, that is the name of the chapter, and it comes from the social club he created himself. He just answered his own question.

In that aptly named chapter, he gives an example of a court case where he tries to evict a tenant. First, he describes the lawyer for said tenant as having beer breath, as being stupid, and being a slimy guy in general (pot, meet kettle). When that lawyer requests a jury trial, he claims the lawyer is being stupid, yet he seems like a genius to me. The lawyer, correctly, calculated that a jury would be unsympathetic to a landlord who started a social club called the “Greater Phoenix Slumlord Association.”

When he inevitably loses in court, he blames it on the fact that the jury, and people in general, hate it when people are successful, and that they’re just jealous of his success. He later goes on a rant about fair housing laws, presumably being unfair to self-named slumlords who use daddy’s money to buy apartment complexes after dropping out of high school.

In the future, any lawyer going against the author in court should describe this audiobook to the jury, and he’s certain to lose every time. While I don’t know the specifics on that case, or whether he is legally in the right, I cannot feel sympathy for the founder of the “Greater Phoenix Slumlord Association.”
