4 out of 5 stars Very helpful info ... but there is one little problem.   July 25, 2006
  3 out of 4 found this review helpful

And that little problem is the physical construction of the book. The publisher has choosen to cram what seems like twice the normal text onto each and every page, which makes for very difficult reading. I was tempted to OCR scan the book and produce more reader-friendly pages from my computer, but eventually adapted to the problem.

And the book is a bit wordy, I thought, spending more time than necessary on many topics ... we all suffer from info overload and authors who scrimp on the prose and cut right to the chase are much appreciated.

But aside from these personal complaints, the book does offer much valuable info for anyone interested in foreclosure investing. For example, the author clearly points out the especially fertile opportunities in properties that are in the redemption phase, after the foreclosure sale.

All in all, I recommend the book, and the author's other books as well, with the suggestion that he might seek out a good copy editor before writing that next book ... :)

5 out of 5 stars Prime properties and avoiding common pitfalls!   March 11, 2006
  8 out of 11 found this review helpful

Steve Berges' THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO INVESTING IN FORECLOSURES explains that with foreclosures at an all-time high, there's a wealth of prime properties available for picking in a hot market - both residential and commercial - at fine value. It all sounds easy - but there's a host of pitfalls along the wall, which are reviewed carefully in THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO INVESTING IN FORECLOSURES.
