Pre-Foreclosure Investor's Kit February 3, 2005

In plain English that anyone could understand, Lucier has organized an excellent, lucid, and articulate step-by-step plan that anyone with the will and perseverance to succeed as an investor in pre-foreclosure properties can follow (and should consider adopting). The author's ethics-driven, logical, no-nonsense, no-punches-pulled approach is logically sound, reasonable, and "do-able" - - plus he provides a veritable cornicopia of information and other resources (websites, addresses, worksheets, letters, checklists, etc.) that will aid the newest "newbie" get started on a proven track toward efficiency, effectiveness, and success.
The contents of this exceptional book are a valuable guide to any investor interested in this segment of the real estate business. I have modified some of my strategies as the result of having read and learned from this book, and can and do recommend the book very highly. It is easily worth many multiples of its price. Get it and follow the advice this author provides.
Perhaps most commendable (and surprising) is the fact that the author makes himself accessible both on-line and by phone (!!) to readers who have questions, need assistance, or perhaps a clarification regarding an idea or concept presented in the text. I know of no other author in this segment of the real estate investment industry who does this, and for FREE! My inquiry was answered promptly and courteously, and the author offered multiple recommendations addressing the question and situation about which I inquired.
No-nonsense for the serious investor. February 3, 2005
Just as the title implies. No nonsense, real deal real estate advice. No pie in the sky promises like from late night TV gurus. Gives the warts and all process including the work ethic required. Each chapter is like a reference guide to the process complete with downloadable internet links and useful resources.
If you ever want to know what to do, how to do it and where to go to look for it, this is all you need.

Foreclosure Investor February 2, 2005

As a active real estate investor in California I found this book to be a comprehensive guide to this very specialized area of foreclosure investing. The author not only discusses the high potential profits to be made but also many of the inherent pitfalls and risks to be aware of when doing these deals. You will learn many essential aspects of this area of investing, such as financing sources, how to contact and negotiate with the owners, doing property inspections, resources to help in researching title, and fixing up properties so they can be marketed for top resale value. There are also recommendations for websites for additional information on related topics. I found that I acquired more knowledge on pre-foreclosure investing after reading this book than I did from the high priced home-study course that I just completed.
A "MUST-HAVE" for every real estate investor! January 31, 2005
As a relatively new real estate investor, I am trying to learn from the successes and mistakes of others. I also want a competitive advantage. As soon as I saw this book on Amazon back in November 2004, it was not yet available so I pre-ordered it as it appeared to be one of the few in-depth books on pre-foreclosures. I was not disappointed in the least. It contains step-by-step instructions and valuable must-know information for people wanting to pursue the pre-foreclosure market. It is the step-by-step detail that is the most important to me as I'm still in the process of trying to get my business running smoothly.
In short, I'm grateful that the author chose to write this book and make his knowledge available to those who want to learn from one of the best. Well worth the purchase price and, now that I've read it and use it as a reference, I would have paid much more than the retail price to get this book.
It's a Great Book!! January 25, 2005

I bought this book three weeks ago and I just can't put it down. This is the best book in foreclosure I have ever bought and read. All the sample letters were professionally written and customizable to your purpose. Mr. Lucier mentioned in his book that the reader is getting a one-on-one advise. I couldn't believe it when I sent him an email for an advise; He replied immediately with a great advise. I highly recommend this book. You will get more than what you paid for!
