If you have ever thought about building a significant extra income or building real wealth in either real estate or online, then I’m sure that you have thought of Robert Allen.

Robert Allen started out as a financial writer, but has written many popular books on real estate investing as well as how-tos on making money using various techniques. His most famous book, Nothing Down (1980), was his first and it was his most successful, spending more than a year on the New York Times non-fiction best seller list.

Nothing Down was based upon the success that he experienced while he was a full-time real estate investor. It was instrumental because it helped the everyday investor to realize that it isn’t necessary to have a lot of money in order to become a very successful real estate investor. Nothing Down has been followed up by Nothing Down for the 90’s and by Nothing Down for the 2000s.

The majority of Allen’s books have been on what he knows best, and that is real estate investing; however, he has also written many books on how to make money employing other methods as well. Multiple Streams of Income, for example, published in 2000, details the option trading system of Stephen Cooper. Allen also co-authored The One Minute Millionaire with Mark Victor Hansen (the author of the best selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series).

On numerous occasions, he has proven that his techniques are useful and effective for anyone regardless of the amount of money they have or the area in which they live. He has been asked to prove these methods in front of live television studio audiences as well as in front of reporters and photographers.

Recently he was challenged by the Los Angeles Times to prove that it is possible to purchase property with little or no money. He was given $100 and a reporter to follow him around and report on his progress, and, 57 hours later, he had purchased 7 properties and returned $20 to the reporter.

Allen, a frequent guest on television and radio programs, has been featured on programs such as Good Morning America and Larry King Live where he shared his financial insights to skeptical audiences. Additionally, he has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, and Newsweek.

So do you believe that Robert Allen is a scam artist or a genuine financial wizard? You can be the judge of that, but over 250,000 people have attended his seminars and trainings. I would say that he fits into the latter category.
