Continuing education is paramount to continued success in the real estate investing marketplace. But it can be expensive constantly buying all the latest books at retail.
There is a great source where you can get almost any recent real estate investing book at 50% or more off the retail price.
That place is amazon.com.
As you can see, Amazon sells this book new for $14.95, more than $7 off the retail price. And you can buy used copies for more than $13 off the retail price.
In both cases, this is quite a savings from the retail price… which is what you would probably pay in your local bookstore.
From looking at the above, the used book source is clearly the cheapest way to acquire this book. But be aware that you will pay shipping on that used book - currently $3.99. That is still cheaper than the cost from Amazon.
But you need to be aware that if you buy more than $25 worth of books directly from Amazon, you will get free shipping. So sometimes it is cheaper to buy your books new direct from Amazon rather than used from private sellers.
By understanding the shipping costs and how they work, you can make the decision that gives you the best value for your educational dollar.
