Book Description
The Complete Guide to Investing in Foreclosures offers practical, proactive strategies for buying and selling foreclosed properties at a huge profit -- without taking undue risks that can quickly turn a promising real estate portfolio into a mess. The book shows readers how to find properties in all stages of foreclosure -- often before they become public knowledge -- and how to focus on real value, not just price. Investors will learn how to take advantage of little-known alternatives not thoroughly covered by most competitive books, including HUD, VA, SBA and IRS properties, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac foreclosures, pre- and post-foreclosure opportunities, and much, much more. The Complete Guide to Investing in Foreclosures doesn't just offer the best strategies for individual foreclosures, it also presents a workable plan for developing a full-fledged investment program -- all in the reader's spare time. Packed with value assessment tools, lead generation strategies, step-by-step processes, and the all-important 7 Caveats of Investing in Foreclosures, this is a must-have resource for first-time and veteran real estate investors alike.

I was a sucker for buying it. You don't have to be.

The negative reviews are on target.



2 out of 5 stars Please Do Not Waste Time With This Horrible Book   January 10, 2007

This book was simply horrible. It was not one bit practical. All it does is teach its readers how foreclosures work. Furthermore, it does a horrible job explaining how they work. Berges, your ripped me off. I want my money back you crook.

An official Library Weekly book review.

EXCERPT:
The primary key to success in the process of buying and selling foreclosed properties is not only to
understand the process, but also to act on the information...

RATING:
5 of 5

REVIEW:
Steve Berges delivers an interesting look into the world of foreclosures, finding investment
properties through court records and also through specific external web sites that provide
info on properties about to foreclose. We know that foreclosure is an ugly reality on the real
estate market, but it is happening daily and many investors simply don't know the steps on how
to start. This book not only an introduction but it also guides you through your baby steps.
A good buy!

2 out of 5 stars not even enough information to be dangerous   August 21, 2006
  7 out of 8 found this review helpful

This is a basic beginnger's guide, and has more tangential information than relevant content. In fact, many chapters read like extended glossaries.
I have no idea why there is a full religious chapter about faith, family, and friends. Christian parables can make good reading but do not fit here.
