There are plenty of "get rich quick in real estate" books: this is not one of them. Creating and Growing Real Estate Wealth about finding the right path to success and building a sustained lifetime of success.  Author William J. Poorvu, is a lifelong real estate entrepreneur and consultant and the Harvard Business School's instructor in real estate. Drawing on his experience working with hundreds of real estate entrepreneurs, Poorvu illuminates every stage of "life" in real estate: creating wealth, growing it, and using it successfully. Poorvu reveals the milestones, pitfalls, and rewards associated with real estate entrepreneurship, offering powerful insight into the challenges and opportunities that will be faced as one starts out... scales up... rides the industry's cyclical waves of change... and then leverages, shares, or passes along the wealth created. Poorvu shows how to choose the entry points and roles; how to spot and respond to opportunities; and how to lead a real estate business to success. Included are dozens of case studies, hands-on checklists, and questions to guide the choices and offer unparalleled insight into how the real estate industry really works.
