 A Great Resource! February 6, 2006
19 out of 20 found this review helpful
Thoroughly researched and easy-to-understand, this educational reference guide is a great resource for anyone who's interested in foreclosures -- or residential real estate, in general. I especially liked the section on cautions for potential investors. Novice-level and experienced investors will appreciate all the helpful tips and advice. This book is packed with information. Highly recommended!
Very complete and educational January 24, 2006

I found this book to be full of good information. It contains everything from the absolute basics to a more advanced explanation of different types of deals that can be done on foreclosures. It has a great definition of the foreclosure process and everything you need to know.
Not sure what the last reviewer's problem is with the references cited. In specific regards to Matt Bowman, I have used what this guy has taught for years. It has helped me pick up multiple properties with no money down and not having to get a mortgage. What he teaches works. The book includes a lot of information from him on lease options and "subject to" deals, which are creative deals that can be done with no money down and not having to qualify for a mortgage, so even someone with bad credit can do them! I have also seen Jackie Lange's (another author quoted) materials and have seen her do business for years. She is very knowledgable and actually pratices what she preaches.
There are many good authors quoted in this book with very good information. I especially liked Mr. Bowman's description of a creative "subject to" real estate deal and how it should work near the end of the book. The authors of this book (and even one of the authors quoted-Jackie Lange) even took the time to write a section of what to watch out for from internet "gurus" who claim to teach real estate investing. Some of these people are just salespeople without real experience as investors. The book provides good tips on what to look for, and I'm sure the investors quoted were probably researched beforehand to make sure they were not the "liars and con artists".
Overall, the book is a great resource for anyone wanting to learn about investing in foreclosures, or even just for general real estate investing knowledge. It is written for a complete beginner, but expands into more advanced details. Very complete and an easy read. I highly recommend it.
