John T. Reed was a real estate investor for 23 years and has been a self-publisher since 1979; he is the author of 20 real-estate investment books. His home office is in Alamo, California. He maintains a ranking of so called "real-estate gurus", and has developed a list of items which can be used to check for the legitimacy of claims by such people. He is an outspoken critic of Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki. He also extensively criticized real-estate writer Russ Whitney, who sued Reed for three years. Whitney withdrew some of the suits and settled the others on confidential terms. Reed represented himself in the litigation.

Among the books he has written are How to Get Started in Real Estate Investment, How to Do a Delayed Exchange, and Single Family Lease Options. He has also written books on coaching sports including "Football Clock Management", "Coaching Youth Football", and "Youth Baseball Coaching". The book he sells the most copies of is "Succeeding". He also has a book on self-publishing called "How To Write, Publish, And Sell Your Own How-To Book". Reed is a West Point graduate and Harvard MBA.
