Customer Reviews

The authors really and truly want their readers to be able to do this, it seems

This is just the kind of investing book we all hope for, with detailed instructions as well as both the pro's and the con's--not just the hype that sells books, not just "how to get rich without effort," but the authors honestly explain the negatives right along with what's so great--all the things that can go wrong, what to watch out for--also how to avoid wasting time, which is extremely important. They also stress that it is a lot of work, yep; but then they show how effort pays off, AND that taking care counts much more than having bundles of cash to invest--and that's what I want to learn more about, don't you? Needless to say, the book is inspiring simply because it makes it seem realistic for anyone to get into this type of investing since the authors explain what they actually DO. I felt they actually WANT to share their professional secrets--and you know, not everyone does! Which is almost like having a personal mentor! This book is that good!

Very Helpful Book!

I have been investing in real estate for years, and like many people, I got a little ahead of myself during the real estate boom of 2004-2005. I have since redesigned my business model to be more conservative and focused on "buying smart". I picked up this book because I had heard that tax deed auctions are a good opportunity to buy properties at "investor quality prices". It was a great read and I can't wait to start utilizing the techniques that the authors outline in the book. Instead of being a "jack of all trades" investor, I am going to concentrate on buying tax deeds and focusing on my niche. I highly recommend this book!

easy to read

I'm not much of a technical person so I was happy when I actually made it all the way thru this book. The stories of their success were pretty impressive and with the information they gave I could actually look it up in the property appraiser website and verify they owned it! It was pretty cool! The examples in the book really helped out the tougher sections. Most the other books I've read concentrate too much on tax liens, this only focused on tax deeds, where you can buy the properties cheap. I've been to a couple auctions in the past and this book helped clear up some issues like getting a clear title in 90 days instead of 4 years. I'm gathering together my cash to go buy my next discount property at an auction in Lake County Florida. I recommend this book.

If you want to learn real estate investing, get this book!

I received this book a couple of days ago and have just finished it so I wanted to write about my intial thoughts...(I will update this reveiw as I learn more). I have seen a few infomercials on Tax sales on tv but I'm very hesitant to buy one of these "get rich quick" learning packages because I have tried a couple before and they really didin't work for me. I decided to buy this book and didn't know quite what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by what I learned from this book. It is very easy to read and clearly demonstrates how to buy properties at government tax deed sales for discounted market prices. I have found the hardest thing about real estate is knowing where to find good deals. This book tells you exactly how to accomplish this. Amazingly refreshing since other books I have read are very vague in this respect; they explain text wise how to find a deal, but even after reading the info I still didn't know where to look. VERY IMPORTANT: The book also explains the pitfalls to buying properties in this manner. If I hadn't of read the book, I wouldn't of learned about things such as clean title and how to evaluate a property without being ablt to look inside. Lots of useful do's and don't in the section. I really enjoyed reading about the real life stories the authors went trhough to buy their properties. That was a nice ending to the book. So I can say that I thoroughly recommend this book!
