5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK!! Stopped Foreclosure in 48 hours!!, July 4, 2008

By	Tim - See all my reviews

This book is awesome! Carla Douglins' matter of fact candor about how to avoid foreclosure helped me stop the foreclosure and save a home hours before the auction. She even educated us on the foreclosure prevention laws in my state (Maryland) that NO ONE else told me about. The Workbook even help me recognize a rent back scam an investor was trying to pull (which is illegal in MD).

We were able to use the information in Section 2 page 39 & 51 to get extra money quickly. The best part for us was page 23, 87 & 88 which we were able to create a solution in 48 hours that the attorney for the bank and the servicing company both agreed to accept. THE DAY BEFORE THE AUCTION! :-) I am so grateful for this book. It taught me how to assess my situation BEFORE I deal with the lenders and educated me on how to prepare for the attorneys, realtors, and especially the LEGITIMATE investor who helped me save the home. The foreclosure prevention law in my state was there and none of the other resources I talked with ever mentioned it and how to successfully use it to work with investors. This book made it simple.

Thanks - Tim

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Basic, June 5, 2009

By	MiamiTechnoLawyer (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This is a short book that is very basic. It repeatedly advises don't panic and keep the lines of communication with the lender open. Do not avoid talking to creditors or bury your head in the sand. While this is good advice to homeowners in foreclosure it is basic common sense and in not original or novel. Most of the inforamtion in the book is available on the internet for free. Many sections are repetitive and give general advice that is very general in nature. This book is written at an 8th grade reading level with kid like pictures and diagrams.
