Short-Sale Pre-Foreclosure Investing: How to Buy "No-Equity" Properties Directly from the Bank -- at Huge Discounts Paperback – Illustrated, June 30, 2008

This is an excellent book. It is full of detailed information that will give any investor the confidence to negotiate a deal. There are even samples of conversations you can use for scripts which is very helpful. This book is a must have in any investor's library.

I found the book exactly as I expected and included things I did not expect. Someone that has not dealt in real estate anymore then a home buyer and wishes to begin investing; this is a very good start. It describes the 'language ' of real estate investing, giving you something to relate to when reading ads and learning the how to approach what you want to do. You must crawl before walking and I think if someone was ambitious and serious about this type of investment; they would appreciate the information and insights. A really good introduction to real estate investing or just finding a good deal.

Overall, this is a really good book. Published in 2008, so the information is a little dated. Still a good book.

I was really blown away by Dwan when she presented at my local REIA and gave an overview of her success with short sales. Perfect timing in this market too! The books will not let you down either. The only thing better is learning from her personally. Highly recommend!

I agree with the other review that this book is mostly fluff and only for beginners. I am a beginner and this book, while being informative to me, does not have everything you need. Throughout the book they continually promote their other products(books, classes, seminars, etc.) This is annoying because for $15 I expected to get everything factually listed, organized well, and presented step-by-step. Also keep in mind this book is 4+ years old so I'm not sure how much of this still applies. Again I'm just getting into real estate investing, so take this review with a grain of salt, but I was hoping for more. Still good for some of the basics though.

This book is full of great information! Well-written and in detail! I love her writing style and her passion shows on the pages. She's excited about what she does and loves to share! Lots of good case studies. She talks about the stuff many books don't like.. how to get your office in order, and why clutter kills productivity. And how to get over phone call reluctance and many other known but seldom discussed issues in this business. Highly recommended for quick read for anyone getting into real estate foreclosures and short sales.

This is a great must have book for investors! The author presents the information in a very clear and understanding way. It is fast reading. I read it in 7 days. It gives you ideas on how to be more creative in the real estate business. I have read other books and have gone to seminars and I still didn't understand and had many questions. This book is not that way. This book also has samples of forms that you will be using. It is detailed and step by step in the process from the beginning to the end.

Enjoy this book as a professional realtor. This book made me remember the the basic how to approach into preforeclourse.
