Book Description

Discover Hard-to-Find Foreclosures at Rock Bottom Prices!

Foreclosures are the ultimate bargain, and there's never been a better time for you to cash in on the booming foreclosure market. Imagine the thrill of buying a house, vacation home or investment property for as little as half price-some are discounted even more!

Until now, foreclosures were difficult to find and even harder to buy. Most of the great deals were hidden, purchased early in the pre-foreclosure stage by in-the-know professional investors before they ever made it to a public foreclosure list.

Not any more. Real estate experts Danielle Babb and Bill Nazur have leveled the playing field by making this once-privileged information available to you. Armed with their significant knowledge of the foreclosure market and notable expertise in using revolutionary internet tools recently made available to the general public, you'll have everything you need to find and buy your dream property.

You'll learn how to:

  • Spot foreclosures before other investors
  • Find amazing deals in the pre-foreclosure stage
  • Identify great properties using powerful but easy-to-use internet tools
  • Negotiate with sellers and win auctions with exclusive strategies
  • Estimate market value and secure funding

The insider information these foreclosure specialists divulge on how to find, value, negotiate and win is your key to the inner circle and will put you on the inside track to saving big money.

I am a doctor of philosophy (PhD) in Organization and Management with a Tech Emphasis and I teach *a lot* of classes, mostly all online. I love to travel, and get to do so often; though it would be nice to have a non-working vacation. :) I have written books (and continue to do so), published, I love presenting and giving seminars and workshops, and teaching students. My MBA is in Business, and I've been able to apply both my PhD and MBA to my career for years.

I am recently married, live in Southern California, and like most people making my way through life with as much adventure as possible. :)

3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed Review for Finding Foreclosures, November 6, 2007
By 
David Vickers "DIY scribe" (Kansas City, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Finding Foreclosures: An Insider's Guide to Cashing in on This Hidden Market (Paperback)
Overall this book is quite helpful in explaining the foreclosure process, with tips on how to find foreclosures and how to be prepared in order to act quickly when pursuing foreclosure property. There's a helpful glossary of terms, great links to useful sites, and a balanced look at the upside and possible downsides of this type of investing.

What's lacking, in my opinion, is a clear explanation of the economics of buying foreclosures. In this regard, I feel like the book is a little too inside, even for this licensed real estate agent. The authors seem to assume that everyone understands the basics of aggressively leveraging equity in order to invest. One chapter about this would make all the difference.

My biggest gripe is the poor editing. The book is riddled with typos and sometimes poor composition. It feels very much like a first draft, and this fact, for me, eroded a little bit from the authors' sizable credibility. Lack of attention to detail makes it feel like the authors are only out to make a quick buck.

If you're interested in finding and investing in foreclosure properties, this book is a great primer. Just be prepared to do your homework, learn from your mistakes, and ask lots of questions. Also, be sure you have a good understanding of actual financing and risk. It's still a good buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars RealtyTrac Recommened in Book Could be a Ripoff, January 4, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Finding Foreclosures: An Insider's Guide to Cashing in on This Hidden Market (Paperback)
After reading the book, I came away with a little bit better understanding of the foreclosure process but it did little for me in practical application. They have a big push at the end of the book for the website RealtyTrac.com which they claim is the best on the web yet they say they have no vested interest in this site. Being skeptical by nature I did a review of the RealtyTrac.com website and found most everyone was moderately to severly displeased with the site. Here is one link which actually seems to think the site has illegal implications. http://www.oregonherald.com/n/special-eports/real_estate/realtytrac.htm This does not give me great confidence in these authors if their highly recommended website for finding foreclosures is so disliked. Do your own search on Realtytrac and see. I admit I never subscribed to the site because of was afraid of wasting my money.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Informed on Finding Foreclosures, July 31, 2007
This review is from: Finding Foreclosures: An Insider's Guide to Cashing in on This Hidden Market (Paperback)
Book was very informative on current housing market in Southern California and all over the United States. Enjoyable to read, book was set up as reference guide, data was easy to refer to. Finding Foreclosures is a wealth of knowledge that will educate and enable you to take advantage of real estate investments. Before you start your search, I highly recommend reading Finding Foreclosures: An Insiders Guide to Cashing in on This Hidden Market.
