This book provides basic as well as more advanced information about how to invest in foreclosures, what the foreclosure process is, how lenders view foreclosures, and how to find great opportunities. I liked the author´s explanation of why foreclosures occur. Some of you might think that it is because someone loses of a job, but the author lists other reasons such as divorce, health problems, relocation, the economy, and overwhelmed landlords.
There is a separate chapter on how to find foreclosed properties. When I was involved in foreclosures, I found that knocking on doors was the best way to get leads. I would get a list from the courthouse of people who fell behind in payments and the next day I would visit these homeowners. I was always the first one to contact them because other investors use passive methods such as direct mail or newspaper ads. Who reads newspapers these days anyway? Besides, if you cannot afford your mortgage payment, you probably don´t have your newspaper subscription anymore.
