Definitely more focused on the investor than the buyer who plans to occupy the home. Text includes lengthy sections on goal-setting that don't seem especially pertinent regardless of whether investor or someone looking for a new home.

Enjoyed the "hands-on" approach, and the fact that all the forms and letters are available via a download. I'm not a beginner investor, but this would be a great place for someone to get started.
