APARTMENT AGE Magazine

- The Voice of Multifamily Housing

Destination Perpetuity is an easy-to-read, step-by-step guidebook that introduces the reader to the concept of creating a financially secure future by building a real portfolio. The format of the book is light, fun, and easy to read. Written as a journey, the reader is taken on an expedition on the road to Perpetuity (an annuity without end).

The novice investor will find all the basic concepts and knowledge on everything from the rudimentary language of real estate all the way to the proper way in which to analyze an asset.

The already-seasoned, savvy investor will also appreciate the many tips and real life stories of dos and don’ts as well as the creative concepts of expanding from a single building to a portfolio of properties.

This book should be considered essential reading for anyone serious about creating mailbox income from real estate.

As a 37-year veteran of the real estate business, I have bought and sold many properties for myself as well as helped hundreds of clients purchase properties. As I was reading Craig O’Rourke’s Destination Perpetuity, I found myself saying over and over again, “I wish I had this book 37 years ago.” This book is a must-have tutorial for anyone wanting to seriously invest in real estate. I highly recommend it.

Craig O’Rourke’s Destination Perpetuity should be a must read for all real estate practitioners. It changes the real estate agent to not just a locator of property for purchase, but an estate builder for their clients as well as themselves. It’s easy to follow, amusing and an incredible confidence builder.

It’s never too late to plan for the future: for you, for your children, and of course for your grandchildren. Not only is it an easy read, it creates a challenge and so many possibilities for fun while you are making money.

Dr. Jim Lee

- Real Estate Investor

Craig O’Rourke writes a guide, but not just a guide. No presumptions are made, so the reader can have the opportunity to learn 100% of the information, or take the 75% that they may not know. But most important is that there are no guesses or questions left when you are finished with this tome. It says it all, and no one has to feel like they are being re-taught something they already know; instead, they get a new perspective. For sure, this information has never been presented in such a clear and succinct manner. Craig is a genius. At times, I thought maybe he was reading my mind because as a question came to me, the very next paragraph explained it in clear intelligent language with no ambiguities. That may be the key to this book: Nothing is left to chance or presumption. And that is first in education. Craig is a Teacher, and we are respected Students. Well done.

As an attorney for over 23 years, I have seen investment trends come and go, and represented good people in the aftermath. The consistent, safe performance of a well-planned real estate portfolio has always stood out.

I continue to hold real estate, and have no intention to ever stop. This inclination is strengthened and now better understood since reading Craig O’Rourke’s very readable and thoughtful book. I recommend it strongly, and I plan to always keep an extra copy to hand out to people I care about with questions on investing.

Destination Perpetuity is a must read! Craig O’Rourke “hit the bull’s eye” when he wrote this book. I enjoyed it from start to finish. If you want to eliminate fear and empower yourself for independence and success this book provides the tools needed to build your wealth.
