WILEY Short-Sale Pre-Foreclosure Investing: How to Buy "No-Equity" Properties Directly from the Bank -- at Huge Discounts

This is a great must have book for investors! The author presents the information in a very clear and understanding way. It is fast reading. I read it in 7 days. It gives you ideas on how to be more creative in the real estate business. I have read other books and have gone to seminars and I still didn't understand and had many questions. This book is not that way. This book also has samples of forms that you will be using. It is detailed and step by step in the process from the beginning to the end.

As with most things these days, the book will try to direct you towards their website to purchase their contracts and scripts that they use. BUT they provide examples all throughout the book of JUST THAT! So if you have some drive and want to save some money, you can type out everything they provide from the book.Secondly, the website that they try to refer you to in the book has been moved to a different site. So nothing that you're searching for is where it should be. But that's to be expected with a book that's over 10 years old.All that aside, it's a good in-depth break down of what it looks like to do a short-sale. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for direction.

This is an excellent book. It is full of detailed information that will give any investor the confidence to negotiate a deal. There are even samples of conversations you can use for scripts which is very helpful. This book is a must have in any investor's library.

I agree with the other review that this book is mostly fluff and only for beginners. I am a beginner and this book, while being informative to me, does not have everything you need. Throughout the book they continually promote their other products(books, classes, seminars, etc.) This is annoying because for $15 I expected to get everything factually listed, organized well, and presented step-by-step. Also keep in mind this book is 4+ years old so I'm not sure how much of this still applies. Again I'm just getting into real estate investing, so take this review with a grain of salt, but I was hoping for more. Still good for some of the basics though.

This book is full of great information! Well-written and in detail! I love her writing style and her passion shows on the pages. She's excited about what she does and loves to share! Lots of good case studies. She talks about the stuff many books don't like.. how to get your office in order, and why clutter kills productivity. And how to get over phone call reluctance and many other known but seldom discussed issues in this business. Highly recommended for quick read for anyone getting into real estate foreclosures and short sales.
