Imagine having a successful cool uncle who writes you a series of personal letters sharing advice on how to do real estate investing... that is how I think about this book. It is clear the author genuinely cares about the reader and wants the best for them. This is a book that you can go back to time and time again on your real estate journey to be reminded this bolstering advice. The wisdom within this book provides solid encouragement for beginning and advanced real estate investors alike.

Josiah Smelser wrote a great book and an easy read. The book was very informative and motivating.

This book is a must read for investors just starting out, looking to get started and even informative for experienced investors. The personal stories gave me the motivation I needed to focus more on growing my investments and to really push to be financially free.

The best investment you could make into your family, don’t hesitate, just buy it and you will not regret!

3.0 out of 5 stars Let Down
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2020

I really like Josiah Smelser, and love his podcast. However, this book is a bit of a let down. It is anecdotal. I did not find it actionable. For it to be called ‘How to Crush Your REI Goals,’ I thought there would be more substance. But it is mostly feel good, motivational quips.

After each portion my main take away is ‘go get ‘em tiger!’ This is great, but doesnt really tell me how to crush my goals.

Still love the author! Better content in his PC.

5.0 out of 5 stars How To Start Investing In Real Estate
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2020

Dream It and Build It is the perfect combination of life coaching advice and practical real estate knowledge. When I first got started investing in real estate, I wanted to know how to do quick estimates of rehab costs. After reading Dream It and Build It, I understood the difference between a lipstick rehab, full interior rehab and full Rehab. More importantly, I was now proficient at making these types of calculations very quickly. Another area of confusion for me prior to reading Dream It and Build It, was whether to buy and hold or fix and flip. The answer to that question, along with many other questions that real estate investors may want answered, can all be found in Dream It and Build It.

This book is a great read, and I would recommend it to the seasoned real estate investor or someone looking to do their first BRRRR.
