You don't need to be rich, experienced, or connected to get started in real estate investing. You need knowledge, relationships, a workable strategy—and the willingness to take action.
The Real Estate Investor's Field Manual: How to Find Deals, Fund Them, Manage Them and Build Lasting Wealth was written for the beginner who wants real-world guidance without being buried in complicated theories, expensive courses, or unnecessary jargon.
Drawing from his own experiences in real estate investing, Charles Aaron N. T. Green walks readers through practical ways to identify opportunities, understand their local market, locate motivated sellers, use public records, build a buyers list, evaluate deals, work with experienced investors, and develop relationships that can help get deals to the closing table.
Green also shares the unconventional lessons that helped shape his own journey—from discovering the value of courthouse records after a chance encounter at Baltimore City District Court, to working alongside fellow investor Justin Michael Goode, wholesaling properties, managing rentals, and developing creative approaches to generating cash flow.
Inside you'll discover practical principles for:
Finding potential real estate deals with little upfront expense
Choosing markets based on demand instead of simply falling in love with a property
Using public records, online resources, direct mail, signs, and local advertising
Finding motivated sellers and building a buyers list
Understanding ARV, repairs, offers, assignments, and closing
Building relationships with wholesalers, investors, contractors, lenders, and title professionals
Recognizing when to wholesale, flip, hold—or simply walk away
Creating a focused 30-day beginner action plan
This isn't a promise of overnight riches. It's a field manual designed to help a new investor stop reinventing the wheel, learn from real experience, and begin taking informed action.
Knowledge is power.
You don't have to know everything before you start. You just need to know enough to take the next intelligent step.
