But the cost or humor isn’t really why I gave it five stars. The information is straightforward for even elementary level, but the thing that puts this above other tax lien books is the free online support that otherwise would cost expensive hourly fees from coaches on systems.

The book with the web site is why this is a better buy than most of the tax lien books I’ve read. There’s also a question and answer link that I’ve found useful (I’m not sure if you talk to the author or someone else though).

Overall, a good book with online resources.

The Real Estate crisis affected the majority of the USA population. This book has an excellent point of view and helpful comments about how to deal with this Real Estate crisis. I highly recommend reading it.

To break it down, here’s why I like this book –

a. It’s a very easy read, you can get done with it in 6 hours.

b. It’s cheaper than a tax lien system I found online by supposed gurus who charge an arm and a leg. yikes!

c. It’s written by someone who actually buys tax liens and not just someone that writes for a living. Those books tend to “look great” but lacking in content.

d. It isn’t boring, it is illustrated.

This book is not for everyone. As a licensed real estate agent for eight years, I have seen people try to get rich quick using various schemes they have heard about on television or read about in books – with little success. This method is no fly-by-night strategy and not everyone who would be able to invest successfully. Investors need – at the very least – good credit, some ready cash and a willingness to work hard and stick to the plan.

Those who are able to take advantage of the foreclosure niche in the current buyer’s market can create for themselves a life making income as a real estate investor.

The authors wrote this book for the brand-new investor, including not only basic information on how to choose and invest in foreclosures, but current information on where and how to find and choose foreclosure properties, current real- estate and foreclosure laws from state-to-state and detailed information on what to expect during every step of the process. The are even chapters on how to rent your new property, if you choose to do so.

While this book is primarily for investors, buyers looking for a home of their own will find this book filled with useful information. Foreclosed homes can be found at bargain prices and home buyers can use these same procedures to find the home of their dreams. Too many buyers, frightened by the headlines, are not taking advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime buyer’s market to buy their own home.

Investors will also find the real estate dictionary and extensive list of references extremely helpful if they plan (and they should) to continue to learn about investing as the foreclosure market changes.

The authors do not pretend that making money by buying and selling or renting-out foreclosures is easy and they caution that in real estate investing, money can be made, or it can be lost. That attitude is what makes this book superior to most. If your plan is to buy foreclosed homes with no money down, no assets and no risk, then look somewhere else – an good luck to you. But, if you are looking for a levelheaded approach to real estate investing in the current market, this approach is a winner.
