1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money, July 18, 2000
By A Customer
The real problem with this book is its misinformation, (i.e. being able to inspect houses before Trustee sales and being able to purchase foreclosed property at auction with a 10% down payment)...WHAT GARBAGE, everyone knows that foreclosed property is sold as is and you need all cash at the trustee sales to purchase, no financing! Otherwise it would be listed in the MLS and selling at market value. Don't believe the hype of easy money, there are always risks involved, afterall, anything that is worthwhile to have is going to take some work to get! This author is in a fantasy world and wants company. The reason I am giving this book "1" star and not a "0" is because it contains a few remnants of helpful information, but not enough to offset its faults and justify a purchase. Save your money and avoid!

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars!!!!, April 24, 2006
This is simply the best book on foreclosures that I have found. I know a lot about real estate because I have owned my own real estate office for the last 14 years and own several properties. I love reading real estate books and this one is GREAT. The book was very well written and very well researched.

EXCELLENT
