 Poorly written book March 15, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've read many books on real estate investing and foreclosures. This is the worst of them all. There are typos throughout the book, thoughts are incomplete, some topics are glossed over and rushed, some chapters are as short as two pages, and the author constantly plugs his other books in between chapters. I can't help but feel that this book was slapped together. Do yourself a favor and look for another book to buy.
 Now this is more like it! February 19, 2007
I just bought this and the new edition of Wades "Real Estate Money Machine" Having read and checked out tons of other books, I now know that this is what I really need.
Most real estate books teach the same boring "buy & hold" strategy thatis not working for stock market investors. Wade teaches you how to make cash now, not 20 years from now. He shows you how to buy below market prices (yes---even today) and then shows you how to create Streams of Income.
A lot of foreclosure books tell you only how to buy foreclosures at the auction. In "How To pick Up Foreclosures" , Wade shows ou multiple ways to buy foreclosures and even has an entire chapter on pre-foreclosures and how to contact the homeowner before the foreclosure process begins.
Although not a big book, "How To Pickup Foreclosures" is packed with useful, powerful information that really works. I also recommend Real Estate Money Machine, Real Estate For Real People and 101 Ways to Buy Real Estate Without Cash. These are also by Wade Cook.
I love the 2006 edition! Must reading for all R.E. Investors February 13, 2007
The timing of this book is right. Houses are way overpriced and the housing industry is now in a SELL position. Homeowners are panicking and many are losing their homes.
QUESTION:
Are you a welcome hand? Would you like to help homeowners save their credit while getting homes at rock bottom discounts? Would you like to learn how to buy foreclosures before the auction and before anyone else knows about them? Now you can!
In this 150 page book Wade Cook shows you how to get Super Discounted Real Estate before the auction. As stated above, the time is right. Bargains are everywhere. The formulas, methods and strategies for investing and trading in todays real estate market are in this excellent book, upadated for the times.
In How To Pick Up Foreclosures you will learn:
$ Using the time line to your benefit
$ Get there first--Capture the Deal
$ An Investors Dream
$ Leverage At Bargain Prices
$ Step-by-Step Processes that really work
$ Techniques that work in todays market
$ How To Evaluate Properties
$ Pitfalls to avoid
In How To Pick Up Foreclosures, Wade Cook, America's premier rags to riches educator takes you through every step of purchasing foreclosures. He tells you what has worked for him and explains how you can create your own real estate cash flow system.
This book is over 150 pages, 12 chapters with new information on preforeclosures. 2 additional chapters and an appendix.
Regarding the one star review we who posted three separate times just ahead of my review, I can only assume he has never read the new book or perhaps only skimmed over the free stuff here at Amazon and probably never really bought the book. Too bad. His loss!
I also recommend Real Estate Money Machine & Stock Market Money Machine by Wade Cook and Making Money in Real Estate by Dolf De Ross and Diane Kennedy.

On 10/5/00, Bloomberg News accounts said Wade Cook Financial Corp. would offer refunds to thousands of investors who attended Wade Cook stock-market seminars. This was to settle action brought against Wade Cook FC by the Federal Trade Commission. Cook was also sued by the attorneys general of the states of AL, AZ, CA, ID, IL, KS, MO, NC, NM, OK, OR, PA, TX, and WA.

This book was a huge disappointment. The writer's intent is not to educate the reader on how to pick up foreclosures. Rather, the purpose of the book is to get you to buy Cook's other products. Each chapter ends with a plug for another book, a seminar or an audio/video cassette set.
A semi-educated Google user can find just as much (if not more) information on foreclosures. It's too bad that Amazon doesn't have a zero-star rating
