 very helpful March 8, 2007

This book is a must for the begining investor. As an experienced investor, I found it very helpful because it was full of resources that I was not aware of. It is not a pep-rally book for those who need to be motivated to get started in the realestate business. Mr. Lucier does a great job of explaining the minute ins and outs of the lending institute which is a tremendous resource for all levels of investors.
 Useless to me February 12, 2007

I bought this from Canada. I was naive enough to think the contents applied here. But it deals with US laws and real estate only. Therefore it should not have been made available to non US citizens, OR should have been labelled as "For US market only" or words to that effect. Very likely to be fine if you are a US citizen though. But if you're not American, beware! With transportation, that's over $40 wasted.
 Informative and quirky February 6, 2007

There is a lot of practical information in here to be sure. The author has some strong opinions even going to far as so give specific suggestions regarding setting up your office. His comments regarding illegal activities are admirable, but still fluff to me. I would have preferred the straight dope. Still, it's a good book for people getting started and his style may not grate on you like it did on me.

This book is one of the best pre-foreclosure books out there. It clearly lays out how to plan your investment, how to look for preforeclosures, how to negotiate, what forms to use, and what warning signs to take note of to avoid risky ventures. A must buy!

OK, let's face it. Foreclosures in this country are going to be a serious issue in the next few years. And it will be no one's fault but the lenders who took on the added risk of investing in too many questionable loans, and the borrowers who had no idea what they were getting into.
Having invested in these properties, and being a real estate sales agent with investors looking for such properties, the search processes Thomas Luccier suggests to find these properties are good. I have been using them and a few others for several years now. His foreclosure letters are powerful...perhaps too intimidating. The spreadsheets are great, I have actually replaced a couple of mine with his!
Overall, I find the book usefull more so for a new investor, but valuable nonetheless even for experienced investors like myself. I'm sure I'll refer to it again in the future.
