5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read and practical, too!, March 21, 2006

This review is from: How to Make Money on Foreclosures (Paperback)

Unlike many "How To" books, this one does not overly simplify matters or become mired in meaningless technical jargon. Instead, the book strikes a helpful balance by providing a sense of the thought process and vocabulary necessary to make money in foreclosures - while also offering practical, useful tools (checklists, formulas, etc.) to help us readers profit.

It should also be noted that, unlike some authors on the subject, this author has personal experience with buying/selling foreclosures, which further enables readers to anticipate and deal with the real-world issues surrounding the purchase of any home. All this is accomplished in an easily readable format by an author who also takes time to help readers think through the human, ethical and moral considerations inherent in the business.

Also, if you're contemplating buying your first house, this book has a very helpful chapter/checklist to guide you. I wish I had known about it before taking the plunge myself!

This book is well worth your time and money. Read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now this is a great book!, March 14, 2007

This review is from: How to Make Money on Foreclosures (Paperback)

I've read many books on the subject, and this is my favorite! This book is well written, full of great information, no word is wasted, and it's fun to read. Evans is articulate, knowledgeable, and does not weigh her book down with fluff (just to reach the expected 300 pages - as other authors do). If you're trying to learn about foreclosures, this is the book to buy!
