Customer Reviews

Factual detailed well written book.

This book provides an excellent insight into using a "lease option and sujbect to" method of acquiring and or controlling property. I believe this is a great way to help someone build a real estate investment portfolio. Wendy's book also contains check lists (page 111) and phone scripts which are very helpful. The check list alone was worth the price of the book. As an investor, if you enjoy the book and find it helpful, then Wendy Patton's training course is fantastic. I attended the course, and noted very qucikly that it is Wendy that teaches the course not a substitute. Also whenever she spoke about a document of any kind, you were provided a sample which adds to clairity of understanding. Her course also provided hands on time in actual homes. As a licensed builder and real estate agent, also investor, it is my personal opinion that Wendy Patton's class/training was one of the top two classes that I have attended over the last several years.
