2.0 out of 5 stars Ok for basic information-may not work in this market, November 12, 2007

By 

Nancy Estolano - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Foreclosures.com Guide to Making Huge Profits Investing in Pre-Foreclosures Without Selling Your Soul (Paperback)

It is a good book for novice investors to review their basic knowledge on forclosures.
It looks like this book was written a while back and then briefly updated. Or maybe it is good in the midwest and lower priced housing markets.
Here in California almost all of the defaults have higher loan balances than equity.
also homes are on the market so long that the length of time to resell might wipe out the $20,000-$30,000 projected profit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on How to Invest in Foreclosures-- With a Heart, October 2, 2007

By 

Manager from New Jersey (Summit, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Foreclosures.com Guide to Making Huge Profits Investing in Pre-Foreclosures Without Selling Your Soul (Paperback)

This book shows newcomers how to invest in pre-foreclosures in a step by step manner. But what is really unique is that McGee recognizes that this is a human business and the only way you will really profit is by having descent and helpful interactions with those down on their luck (ie in foreclosure.) She states those investors that see the long terms goals know that by helping those in desperate need, will see reward and profit from other deals. A refreshing and profitable perspective. McGee gives investors the how to-- where to find the forelosure properties; the numbers-- what is worth it, and what is not; how to communicate with homeowners-- critical in pre-foreclosures; roadblocks and how to deal with them. This book is outstanding and a must for those investing in pre-forclosure properties.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great intro book, January 7, 2008

By 

Mom of twins (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Foreclosures.com Guide to Making Huge Profits Investing in Pre-Foreclosures Without Selling Your Soul (Paperback)

This is a great book for people starting in the foreclosure business. It gives the basics and then gives Foreclosures.com's spin on how they do business. I would have liked to see more on how you can use the website to start your business, but I guess that is covered when you join. Good starter book.
