1.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect this book to teach you anything new, 29 Nov 1998
By A Customer
What you WON'T find in Goldmining in Foreclosure Properties is any untrue hype or other type of "get rich" schemes. You won't learn how to buy properties for $1.00, nor will you find any clever plans for using OPM or anything else like that.

What you WILL get is a book that:

1) Is brutally honest with respect to the fact that it takes money to make money: "...I'd get one certified check for $90,000.00 and four $10,000.00 checks..."

2) Has embarassingly dated information: "...by the middle of the 1990's, we may have an avalanche of foreclosure and defaults..."

3) Is filled with numerous examples of the form "I bought the house, took out a 2nd mortgage, rented it to my grandmother, painted the gutters, gave a buy option to my brother-in-law, installed indoor plumbing, yada, yada, then made $1000.00 net profit a year later". Yawn.

4) Paints the investor as some sort of white knight who saves defaulters and banks. Then, in almost the same breath, says things like "immeditaely evict the tenant".

5) Does not give you any specific information. Want to know how to navigate a deed room? No dice.

The quote on the front of the book, in a very clever way, totally sums up the book: "An excellent overview of the benefits of buying foreclosures". Read that close, especially the "overview" and "benefits". What it DOESN'T say is "An excellent information source for buying foreclosures".

Don't waste your money on the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars lots of good technical detail, 8 May 1998
By A Customer
Of the several foreclosure manuals I've read, this is definitely the best. The author gives several examples of his own purchases making it more believable. This one is not quite as hyped-up as the usual get-rich-easy real-estate book. The 3 phases of foreclosure, along with lots of good technical how-to details are covered. I highly recommend it!
