Acres of Diamonds (Annotated)

Real Estate gurus are constantly trying to convince people to invest in one market or another, almost always far from home.

Over 100 years ago the Civil War veteran and founder of Temple University, Dr. Robert Conwell toured the country giving a lecture entitled "Acres of Diamonds." The full text of his talk has seldom been provided, instead people have given excerpts here and there.

In this volume, his entire lecture is presented with modest editing. In addition to the original talk, the editor has pointed out how this talk relates directly to the principles of success that need to be applied for real estate investors in any market.

There is no need for anyone to invest in real estate far from home. There are acres of diamonds all over your own backyard.
