After reading this book, I felt like I had a better grasp about foreclosures and the real estate market as a whole.

Very robust with information (actually took me some time to read and digest everything)
Detailed with process recommendations
You can tell how experienced you are because it was very practical and not only theoretical
Easy to read and very straightforward
Includes many useful due diligence research sites

Foreclosure investing is all the rage nowadays, but Thomas Lucier tells you why you must get in during the PRE-FORECLOSURE phase to really make the big bucks. There's just too much competition for properties once they reach foreclosure.
The author suggests that you get to the properties before they reach foreclosure by doing your homework and locating the properties early. A letter writing campaign is his preferred method of contacting the foreclosees (is that a word???) and will follow up with subsequent letters should he not hear back from the homeowner.
In addition to step by step instructions for locating properties and acquiring them, Lucier gives a treasure trove of information which you can use along the way to help make your job easier. He includes literally hundreds of websites and even provides his email address to provide help to those who need it.
The book covers all the bases, however, it didn't leave me motivated. The author mentions all of the pitfalls and hard work required in this business and clearly doesn't try to mislead the reader into thinking it will be easy money. I appreciate the honesty, but must admit I won't be pursuing pre-foreclosures at this time. However, I haven't ruled it out for the future, and should I choose to do so, the book will serve as a great instructional manual in my quest.
THE BEST BOOK ON FORECLOSURES September 11, 2006

This book is great... I read the reviews and they were all true!!! The author's language is clear and simple. The books gives you all the forms, checklist, pros and cons on the foreclosing homes, dos and dont's. and for the price, you can't go wrong, even if you just get it for the forms and list of websites and reference he gives in the books, it is worth it.

I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone interested in getting into real estate. It is probably the only real-estate guide you will ever need. If you are looking for a book that will fill you full of marketing hype, empty fluff and mislead you to a false sense of empowerment, then this book is not for you. This extremely well written and well organized book is chocked full of no-nonsense practical information and on target advice. When I picked up my copy at Barns & Nobles, I took my time and must have read through every real-estate book on the shelf. None of them even came close to measuring up to my standards except this one, which far exceeded my expectations. I feel fortunate to have found it because it was the last one on the shelf.
