Excellent! Sep 12, 2006
By Hurricanes
It's obvious that this guy has done a great deal of reading and deep thinking on the subject of acquiring wealth. He saves us from having to do the same by presenting all of this knowledge in a concise, easy to read style. I liked the fact that even though he made his millions in real estate and stocks he doesn't claim that's the only way to do it. In fact in Part II of the book he discusses in depth his methodology for acquiring wealth and how it can be applied to almost any field. If you are serious about growing your wealth this book is definitely worth a read.

Great find! Sep 05, 2006
By Dooz
I really enjoyed this book. It follows the life of the author from childhood until his mid thirties, showing step by step how he achieved a very high net worth. It kept my interest because I could relate to the author. He was a normal guy that grew up in a middle class family. He made his money by simple easy to understand methods (real estate, stocks) that I know I could do as well. For those who want to become wealthy, the knowledge to do it is in here. You just have to make the effort.

Practical Sep 18, 2006
By S. Luke
"SL"
Babbitt's book is both easy and interesting to read. I read the book in one sitting because it flows logically from his early age to final general practical advice. He gives multiple lessons he learned through hard work and prior mistakes. If you are serious about attaining wealth, this book would be a great asset. He is not trying to sell or market any scheme. The book gives solid advice for people who are realistic about what it will take to become wealthy.

The Real Deal Sep 15, 2006
By Cler
Because of the hot real estate market of the last several years the bookstores have been flooded with new books on the subject. Most of them are written by self promoters with zero to minimal experience (or success) in real estate investing. What they are successful at is marketing themselves and their books. Their books contain generic tips and obvious advice that they've picked up from reading other bad books on real estate. I've been in real estate for several years and I was pleasantly surprised by Babbitt's book. He takes me into the trenches and shows what it's really like to build and manage a substantial real estate portfolio. His experiences along the way are insightful and instructive as well as entertaining. He never promotes himself or tells you that you are going to make millions overnight. He tells it like it is. If you are thinking of going into real estate or you already are, I highly recommend this book.

Review by New York Times best-selling author Ellen Tanner Marsh Aug 30, 2006
By NYTBSA
As reviewed by New York Times best-selling author Ellen Tanner Marsh-
If you were interested in retiring decades before the average worker, would you follow the advice of someone who successfully left the rat race in their mid-30s, or would you seek the counsel of someone not yet retired? Similarly, if you want to become super wealthy, would you read a how-to book whose author made his first million by the age of 28, or would you instead choose one of the countless books written by professional writers who are not millionaires themselves?
If the former option seems eminently more sensible to you, then you should probably begin your path to future riches by reading the advice of Todd Babbitt, whose new book, My Road To Wealth: Learn About Attaining Wealth Through the Story and Insights of a
Young Self-Made Multi-Millionaire, offers just that. To reach his monetary goals, Babbitt employed a similar approach, allowing him to grow his wealth well beyond that of a typical young man growing up in a modest middle-income family.
Babbitt's book comprises two parts, the first of which explains in detail how he obtained his money through savvy real estate speculation, later supplemented by investing in the stock market. Unlike similar writers, he does not present a litany of his triumphs, but instead honestly and clearly admits to mistakes that could have easily derailed less persistent investors, such as his "nightmare" forays into low income housing.
The second part of the book is much shorter, and yet may be of more interest to the reader, as it focuses on the steps that Babbitt recommends for anyone interested in following his path and becoming multimillionaires themselves. These sections include detailed information on purchasing property with no money down, and how to calculate cash flow on rental properties. Babbitt wraps up the book with a helpful list of suggested reading.
For anyone determined to invest wisely in real estate and equities and thus grow their wealth, they would do well to follow the advice of Todd Babbitt, whose credentials, as the title suggests, are as legitimate as the money he takes to the bank.
