First Sentence:
The problem with 99 percent of all the property-flipping strategies being taught today is that they require would-be real estate mavens to go out on buying binges and scarf up properties like they are going out of style and thus become financially responsible for monthly loan payments and property repairs. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Step by Step Learning & to the Point with REAL Information, March 23, 2005
By Patrick (Tampa FL) - See all my reviews
The author gives you excellent detailed information along with lots of resource links, not to mention his email & phone info. He actually does answer email questions quick. His book is an excellent value because it's all about "how to" without any fluff, missing details, long winded stories or get rich quick schemes. I've read many real estate books & this is probably one if not the best & most informative on a new strategy that the average person can use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Experience shows through, June 2, 2005
I am a former real estate broker (6 years in California during the crazy years of 1977 through 1983) and this book by Thomas Lucier is one of the better I have read over the years. It gives much practical real world information and gives the novice investor and experienced investor a tool to improve their chances of success in the options and lease options world of investing in real estate.

It is a seminar in a book. I highly recommend it for others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book!!, July 19, 2005
This is a straight forward no non-sense book. I have read so many books by people who seem like their more interested in motivating you too their $5,000 real estate seminar than to give you the information you need to make it in real estate. I have read two of Mr. Lucier's books one on pre-foreclosures, and the other on real estate options which I have highly recommended to people that I've been discussing real estate with. If you are sick and tired of wasting your hard earned money on books that just pump you up, but give you no substance then buy this book and find out of if you really have what it takes to invest in real estate options. Also I e-mailed Mr. Lucier some questions I had, and he e-mailed me back - with well thought out responses - 9 hours later! Now that's what I call customer service and someone who stands behind his work. Thanks again!
