Yeah, it's 90% trivial platitudes about "buy low, sell high" and "invest your money wisely", and then a few pages about how he actually made his money (if that part is true, anyway): Haunt foreclosure auctions to flip the houses. Skeezy.

So he says to buy low and sell high, and he made his money by buying real estate cheap and then selling it higher? I have absolutely no background on the guy, but that doesn't sound "skeezy" or even inconsistent; what am I missing?

No he made his money selling books explaining to people how to become rich. To my knowledge he wasn't wealthy before his book.

Why is that skeezy? If the house is at a foreclosure auction, it's being sold whether he buys it or not. If he buys it, he's paying more than anyone else was willing to.
