Publisher Description

How does an ordinary person with an ordinary income reach their seven-figure dreams? First they must own their own home – and do it David Bach’s way. The financial coach who has helped millions to finish rich is back with a simple, powerful solution to get rich in real estate. As David says, “Renters stay poor, homeowners get rich, and smart landlords laugh all the way to the bank!” In his breakout 2004 bestseller, The Automatic Millionaire, David Bach showed why owning your own home is not only smart, it’s the core secret to becoming a millionaire. In his new book, tailored for a Canadian readership, he shows exactly how to make that happen with a simple, automatic plan you can read in an hour and put into place today. Renters will learn how to buy a first home, even with lousy credit and tiny savings. And existing homeowners will find out how to turn the roof over their heads into a powerful investment that doubles, triples, and quadruples in price while you simply enjoy living in it. And while you don’t have to be a landlord to finish rich, if you’re willing to be, David teaches you how simple it really is to buy a rental property even while you’re paying the mortgage on your home. The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner is brilliantly simple, easy to read, highly motivational with a realistic, take-action method for achieving financial prosperity in real estate, starting now. Bach offers time-tested tactics on all the essentials, including: • Why you shouldn’t wait: busting the myths of renting • Finding a down payment right now using the Automatic Down Payment Solution™ • Choosing the mortgage that is right for you – even with debt, even with imperfect credit • The secret system for debt-free homeownership: why you must Make It Automatic! • The Automatic Millionaire Right Place, Right Time, Right Price, Right Program™ for buying and selling • Learn the Automatic Millionaire Mindset™ and collect “automatic cheques” while you sleep

"I like David Bach...his premise? Pay yourself first...not at the end of the month IF you happen to have something left over...PAY YOURSELF FIRST!!! That's it! If it's taken out before you ever see it, you will never miss it. Good, practical book. It actually makes you believe it's possible. "

    " There was a really good lesson in this book wich made me hopeful. It was a narrative of a couple who never sold their first home but rented it out and they became very weatlthy by the time they were retired. This encourages me because since we are renting our first house ONLY because it didn't sell, that maybe it will be better for us financially in the future. Overall, I was pretty disappointed in this book. Most of the book was about how to shop for and buy a house. Most things I knew already because I have gone through that two times. "
