With so many foreclosures in the marketplace, I was looking for a true hands-on book that would show me how to get into my first home. This book fits the bill perfectly!
The book has actual letters to sellers, letters to the banks, forms, checklists and even comprehensive inspection checklists that I was able to use in selecting and evaluating properties. I had a hard time copying some of the forms, but there’s a link which allowed me to download a printable version which made it a lot easier.
This was the most up-to-date information I could find on foreclosures and short sales, and I look forward to giving it to my brother who is a real estate investor, as parts of our market have started to come back a little.
It’s well laid out, easy to follow and filled with real practical stuff – instead of fluff.

This one was a good find. Got it on a whim, but impressed with the number of forms, letters and checklists – especially since they can be downloaded. Have bought several properties in the past, and the book gave me some new marketing ideas and ways to find properties. Now if we could just get the government to cooperate!

I bought this book after browsing it and realizing it wasn’t promising the universe. It’s a straightforward, practical guide for buying foreclosures and shorts. It doesn’t try to fool you into thinking it’s easy, but it gives you all the necessary steps (and helpful supplemental materials) to do it.
I really liked the theme that Mr. Cummings weaves throughout the chapters: that in getting your hands a little dirty, you still need to do it with honesty and “forthrightedness”. There’s an underlying message that there’s a right way and a wrong way to doing business, and he teaches the high-road approach. Even the password you need to enter to access the supplemental material emphasizes this theme.
The most impressive aspect of this book was the author’s standing by his word. He offers his email address and encourages the reader to contact him with questions. I took him up on that and was a bit surprised to receive a timely, personalized reply, and not a pitch for more products. In fact, he followed up with me to ensure I got what I needed. For my $20, I’d say he more than delivered.

I have purchased many properties over the years, but found this book refreshingly new and in-depth on its approach to foreclosures and acquiring distressed properties.
The author uses a direct approach without a lot of extra “theory”. His experience comes through clearly, and the actual letters and checklists add greatly to the value of the text.
Easy book to recommend, and great addition to my library.
