 Wish they would hire a prof'l editor for all their books. March 27, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I own and/or have read their other books and regretfully have to say that their books aren't professionally edited. Their works seem to project an "aw shucks" tone but I find them to contain too much hyperbole.
I don't bother with their new books anymore since the writing is tiresome and predictable. They may have new information to share but that fact is lost because of the book's poor editorial presentation.
 Don't Buy into the HYPE. March 25, 2006

The pathetic thing about scams like this is that we're all searching for ways to secure our future. The thing is, Peter Conti was a smart guy who did some real estate investing... then, he decided to become SMARTER and offer his "Secrets to Success" to everyone else for a fee! How intelligent is that??? Be realistic people. There are no (legal) shortcuts to fortune other than hard work, inheritance, or winning the lottery. There is money to be made in real estate, and SOME gains may be as easy as he makes them look but the bulk of them are not. Am I rich? No, but I'm comfortable enough NOT to be willing to make someone ELSE RICH by buying products that only sell dreams. Due TRUE research people. Go to CNN.COM and look under Money. They have GREAT savings tips.. great investment tips.. Go to Fidelity.com... Don't make people like THIS Rich *RICHER* in the process. Honestly... any of us can take his book.. reword a few things.. write our own book... and sell some Dreams. Its pathetic. All these GET RICH schemes are designed to get the WRITER rich, NOT YOU! When you're up late at night watching TV and see all these bogus infomercials, turn the channel... Watch Nick @ Nite, anything but the "Dream Sellers". Invest your time and money in things that you can be proud of. Do TRUE research, don't follow behind someone who's only interested in "how much money you're willing to invest in your future" AKA "are you willing to pay for the next seminar because this initial free one is replay of the infomercial you saw on tv." It's designed to get you HYPED UP. And how do I know? Well, I've never been to one myself, but I asked my roommate to go to one on "Our" behalf... U know, just to check it out and bring back some Great Information! Well, "Yeah Right" is an understatement... No great info, just a repeat of the infomercial and a list of prices for the "Upcoming Events." And myself, what I've done, is ordered information about an at-home business that supposedly required "No Selling" (How unrealistic right?) Well the whole thing was, you create a website and let the website sell the product for you... but how likely is that? I mean, of course you gotta put some effort into it and ultimately you're doing what - SELLING. So luckily I only wasted $50, but some people waste hundreds even thousands on this type of stuff... Don't but the HYPE people. Don't buy it. Just accept that everyone in life is not going to have a mercedes and a $500,00 home... but if you really want it, work hard for it. Put in the time, the effort, and the research... there are honest ways of making a good future but you have to be patient. And again, I say, do not follow the Dream Sellers like Carlton Sheets, Russ Whitney, Peter Conti and all the others.. unless you have a strong desire to help Them get Richer while you look on in awe!

Mostly motivation talks suggesting that there are many idiots out there who will sell their houses to someone who has no credential but could talk smart.

I liked the real person examples they used, either experiences by the authors, mentors, or the students in their program. If your looking to get into real estate investing and proven ways to it, this is a good place to start.

Conti & Finkel have put together tips and tricks to investing in foreclosures that I haven't seen elsewhere. There is a LOT of foreclosure investing material on the market, but NOTHING comes close to this. They zero in on the best most effectives ways to tap into this market instead of generalizing or trying to cover the whole world of foreclosures. I'll admit it. I don't want to invest in a book that is fluffed up to look big. I want to quickly get to the "meat" with no fluff. This delivers!
