Summary: Ego trip for authors
Review: Dont bother with this book. It has some useful information for the newbie but it is an ego trip for the authors. The stories they present have little useful information other than to tell you how great the authors are. The free stuff they give you is just as worthless.

Summary: "Opportunistic sales person needed, no ethics required!"
Review: I bought this book thinking that it would provide details of how to go about starting the real estate investing progress. As other reviewer's have noted, this book does have a strong "cheerleading" tone to it without providing much specific information. I am interested in buying a house or two to fix up and sell, not quit my job and start this full time. I found the tactics they mentioned to be downright predatory; for example, getting mail carriers and landscapers to "scope out" neighborhoods to see which homes are receiving lots of certified mail, a sure sign that they might be in financial trouble. There are slick sales scripts that would befit any sleazy used car dealer. They are little verbal sales tricks to get people to trust you; making them feel like it's them against the big bad bankers and that only you can help. It is all under the guise that you are helping people with their financial troubles, when really it's more like a vulture looking for an opportunity. There is no way I am going door to door inquiring about a lost dog just so I can try to start a conversation with someone aabout their personal financial situation in an attempt to buy their house out from under them. This is a book for a good,fast sales person with big ambitions, not just your average homeowner or small time investor.

Summary: Conti and Finkel, Compassionate Investors
Review: I find that the works of Conti and Finkel take into account the position of the troubled seller and how to find the solution to there problems. There compassion is what sets them apart from all the gurus out there.This book uses some examples and material from there previous books, however majority of the book is new information that keeps you hungry. I started reading this on the September 22nd and completed it this evening. Very difficult to put this book down. What is also very impressive is they provide a webpack where you can find out about all the forclosure laws in your state, hours of audio, and access to their RE Investment group and forums where you can go for free advice. Since registering with them, I have started to receive there newsletter which has had some great tips so far, I can not wait to get more of them.

Summary: Exceptional book
Review: I just finished reading this book and already have a house under contract. Without this book and the AWESOME information in it, I probably would not have been able to do this deal. I will put only $25,000 in my pocket after expenses. Not bad for just 3 hours worth of work.
THANK YOU so much Peter & David.
The information from this book also gave me the ability to sign up for their mentorship training. With this book and the training, I expect to give up my full time J*O*B within 6-8 months and concentrate on real estate investing full time.

Summary: YUCK
Review: I love real estate. I own 5M worth of real estate. This book has good information about a good niche (foreclosures) in a good business. I hated it.
If these two had to keep using the sleazy tactics and phrasing they describe in this book, even when they knew the business cold and didn't have to anymore, and then they're so proud of themselves they write a book, tells me somebody lost their soul on the way to the bank.
Foreclosures is a good business, people in foreclosure are often in trouble of their own making and don't know how to get out but are annoying in their inability to do SOMETHING. I can even see how using the power of language to get people moving forward out a no action = no solution situation makes some sense.
but, i wouldn't take a penny from a deal that used their tactics and language.

Summary: Great Book
Review: I started buying real estate with a partner 1 year ago and we have bought and sold 12 pre-foreclosures since we started. I found out about Peter and David's books about 6 months ago and found that the information they give in these books is excellent. This book really explains the foreclosure process well and gives you great ideas on how to start locating these deals. I highly recommend this book along with all there other books to any one and every one who is interested in buying real estate. Thanks Peter and David for the excellent information you give us investors.

Summary: other readers are morons...
Review: I've read a few of these books now, and this is by far the most informative of them all. It tells you how to find sellers, buyers, what to say, links to forms to use, etc.
I tried one of LeGrand's books, now THAT'S an advertisement for seminars...

Summary: Peter and David - A Class of Their Own
Review: These two investors have done an excellent job at explaining the nuts and bolts of real estate investing. Many authors fill pages and pages telling us the RESULTS of their successfull negotiations (e.g. infomercial testimonials). But P&D go into the details of how they communicate and negotiate their deals. They've put a lot of thought into their process as they explore the psychology of negotiating with sellers. But why didn't I give this book 5 stars? Because in my view, their 2nd book is EVEN BETTER. While their 1st book was ok, they hit their stride on the 2nd book (Making Big Money Investing in Real Estate Withoug Tenants, Banks, or Rehab Projects) which in my mind is the BEST of the three they've written so far. I give them an A+ for content and quality. And this (new)book is right on the money too. So, I recommend reading BOTH books; they complement each other nicely. They have a win-win approach to investing. They also advocate putting 10% of your profits to good use in helping others. Like I said, a class act!
