 Excellant with lots of meat. August 25, 2007

This book will not do the job for you rather it will make you think. Granted the author is a little odd but, the information is true to fact. You start to think when you read this book and then the inspiration comes. This book is only a stepping block to great things. I apply this and a lot of other information and I make a great living. I hope people do not like this book so, I can eliminate the competition. LOL
This book is a winner! July 16, 2007

I am a retired real estate broker in Nevada and an associate broker in Utah. This book is full of details on exactly how to go about purchasing pre-forclosure properties. Author includes websites to research for additional information, form to be used in your quest to find pre-foreclosure properties and his personal email address if you get really stuck. I would recommend this book to anyone who is really interested in improving their income.

Someone recommended this book to me and I must say the recommendation was entirely correct. It is a very comprehensive look at the foreclosure and short sale market and gives excellent advice both for the novice real estate person as well as the expert.
I highly recommend it!

Someone from another country once said, this book is no good for another country and gave it low ratings... Well, duh! U.S. law only applies to U.S. stuff. This book is by far one of the best guides on pre-foreclosures and should be considered as the beginner's guide for bank foreclosures. Also, when the title says 'distressed' real estate, it's not talking about bad properties but rather properties with their mortgages no longer being paid.
The difference is important because distressed properties suggest run down stuff. When actually, a lot of preforeclosures are great houses and for one reason or another the owner no longer chose to pay for it.
Overall a good guide. Also on another note, I only buy books BY investors not marketing gurus or writers. Lucier is a REAL investor, with personal experience. Those are the type of authors you want to read from. Here are other books by REAL investors:
Profit by Investing in Real Estate Tax Liens: Earn Safe, Secured, and Fixed Returns Every Time by Loftis
Complete Guide to Real Estate Tax Liens and Foreclosure Deeds: Learn in 7 Days-Investing Without Losing Series by Sausa
FLIP: How to Find, Fix, and Sell Houses for Profit by Villani
 Hard to endure the poor writing style May 13, 2007

As other readers have said, this book contains quite a bit of useful information on picking up preforeclosure properties. However, Lucier's lousy writing style makes it pretty hard to get through the book. Even worse, his style sounds so uneducated that I lose confidence in what he has to say.
Ultimately, I hope to make use of the information provided in the book, but if you buy it, be prepared to grit your teeth as you try to get past the writer's poor style.
