Product Description
This intriguing book is not just another get-rich-quick scheme: the Fast Cash is what you pay, not what you get! And what you pay Fast Cash for is notes?valuable and legally binding promises to pay, secured by real estate, and bought at a discount. Then you collect the full amount of the note, usually in monthly payments, and earn a handsome profit. Lorelei Stevens is one of America?s premier career note buyers. In the pages of Fast Cash she immerses you in the business through absorbing stories of how it?s really done, one note at a time. The unexpected result is a masterpiece of human interest writing. It follows the dreams and despair of people who?ve sold their real estate, financed the sale with a note, and later found themselves in need of fast cash. That?s where the note buyer steps in?and that?s where you step into Lorelei Stevens? fascinating world of Fast Cash.

 Incredible waste of time and money April 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am absolutely stunned that this book has been published. Imagine somebody talking endlessly about the mundane details of their career, who they met, what they ordered for lunch when they had lunch with them. How they felt about the people they interacted with etc. I've never been more disappointed in a book. Please don't buy this book or waste your time checking it out of the library. The only reason I can imagine it was published was to give Ms. Stevens the title of published author.
How I lost money by buying this book. September 7, 2007

I've learned more from late night gurus than I did from reading this book. Ms. Stevens has conned us all with this one. Thanks for nothing.
No Facts January 18, 2007

I found this book to be interesting an easy read, but I learned very little. Like everyone else has stated its nothing more than her personal stories. If you want to learn about brokering notes then your out of luck. It's about being a note buyer and forking out money to attorneys, appraisers, title companies. There's not even much insight on this either.
Just the facts madam. January 17, 2007

I read this type of book for the facts, not to be entertained with war stories. This book is all stories that adds up to less than a page of facts. Read the preview, that is what the whole book is like.
How To Make A Fortune Writing A Stupid Book! February 11, 2006
32 out of 34 found this review helpful
That's what Ms. Stevens' book should be named. I bought this book expecting to get a decent tutorial or at the very least a digestible guide on how to purchase property/house notes, perhaps some history on how the business began and how to get started in it. Instead, what I got was the Donald Trump of the property note world sharing her experiences as a property note purchasor; the people she met at her note purchasing workshops; what they said and did; what they went through; and her experience dealing with them. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. She even admits that her success is due in most part to her father who got her into the business and shared with her his extensive knowledge of note purchasing, in addition to what she describes as an entire fleet of attorneys who are dedicated to helping her. For those of us who are not independently wealthy, she could have at least explained how one starts a note purchasing business or how to learn about it. Had her father written his own book, I may have learned something and gained some insight into this complex world. I think she's made enough money in her world of upper class financing so to write a book that does nothing but highlight her fabulous career and actually charge people for doing so is in my opinon nothing short of larceny.
