Product Description
With the housing bubble of the past few years bursting and interest rates on the rise, there has been an upsurge in the number of foreclosures across the country, creating many opportunities for profit. But investing in real estate foreclosure[s?] can be a tough job, especially when a negative stigma is attached. How do you make money while preserving your morals and trust?

Foreclosure Investing For Dummies shows you how to invest in foreclosures ethically without being accused of stealing homes from “little old ladies.” This step-by-step guide helps you thoroughly research property, find the best opportunities, purchase foreclosures, and avoid misleading distressed homeowners. This book doesn’t promise quick profits through minimal work, but it will provide you with invaluable information to become a successful investor, including:

  • Identifying opportunities and understanding risks
  • Obtaining information, tools, support, and resources
  • Locating properties prior to foreclosure
  • Assisting homeowners through the foreclosure process
  • Acquiring properties below market value prior to the auction
  • Buying property at an auction, from lending institutions, and government agencies
  • Repairing, renovating, and selling or leasing property

This book provides tips and strategies for refinancing your property and maximizing your profits. It also gives you advice on how to assist homeowners, have them work with you, and common mistakes you should avoid. It’s time to go out and make the most of foreclosure investing, and with Foreclosure Investing For Dummies by your side, your hard work and devotion will bring tons of success!

5 out of 5 stars A good read for buying a home (discounted)   April 17, 2009

I'm a first time home buyer and I really got interested into foreclosures and tax deeds. Right now there's just a lot out there that's for sale retail price but there's a lot more that's actually discounted through foreclosures. If I can buy the same quality for less price, why not right? This book helped me sort through a lot of the terminologies and helped me understand what to look out for. Very quick and easy read and recommended along with other foreclosure books I found helpful.

Excellent information, too bad the market is the way it is and people are losing their homes. The author is concise and accurate and anyone that has money to invest would do well to review this information before putting their money out there. The author makes it fun and interesting while making sure you have all you need to avoid the pitfalls; especially in today's market.

This book has been very helpful to my husband and myself. We are just getting started with this and the book is simple, easy to understand, and very informative. I would recommend this to anyone who is serious about wanting to learn, and having it explained to them in detail.

Thanks, Ann

Par for Dummies series -- very informative, useful, clear and easy to read. Lays out upside potential as well as downside risks. As an adjunct, I've been using a beta service at realquest dot com which lets me search for pre-foreclosure, foreclosured and bank-owned homes in my local area. Perfect combo.
