 A good meat and potatoes book on Preforeclosures May 9, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I found this book to be very useful. It applies well to Preforeclosures overall nationwide and is especially useful if your are in Florida. He does not add fluff, or hype to this book. I would also recommend "How to be a Quick Turn Real Estate Millionaire" by Ron LeGrand as far as how to find leads (cheap marketing)and wholesaling. These are both books you should have in your Real Estate Investing Library! The Pre-Foreclosure Property Investor's Kit should be a reference handbook for serious investors!

 a let down May 5, 2007

Having read the other reviews, I bought this book with high expectations. I was very disappointed. The book lacks details and conatins too much cursory, trivial and antecdotal information. For example, the author explains that public records are listed in alphabetical, he gives great examples of which mobile office equipment to buy and describes over and over how wonderful the internet is but glosses over important details like actual examples of what exactly you find in the public records and examples of how to determine if a deal is worthwhile or not. He talks about due diligence and that one should research the public records to get information from 50 different places. He even goes on to tell a story about a women who didn't do enough research and ended up with a $19,000 tax lien attached to her pre-foreclosure property. Again though, he never shows any examples or those records or HOW to use those records to determine if a deal is worthy or not. His step-by-step process is not detailed enough to put into practice without doing tons more research. The book seems unfocused and often times wanders away from the point. Overall not a very practical book but probably a pretty good buy if you know nothing about foreclosures, pre-forclosures or home buying in general.
Very detailed April 9, 2007

Very detailed book that really explains the process. I was hoping it would include a bit more about rentals but the tactics included for getting a great deal can be applied to any type of real estate buyer. Great book for terms and as a resource. He loads the book with websites to find data. He also makes you very aware key issues that are often overlooked in other books.
Not a motivating book...just meat and potatoes... which is good if you have already had enough of those. This book is loaded with info but is a bit dry. I would say it is a must read for anyone not familiar with all of the ins and outs.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Mr. Lucier's book on buying Pre-Foreclosure Properties. He explained the process very clearly and was easy to follow. He didn't hesitate to emphasize critical points where the buyer must be extremely careful in the buying process. I take forever to finish reading a book but I couldn't put this one down and finished reading it in two days.
