Summary: Advert for their seminars/courses
Review: This book is heavy on excitment and 'systems' but very light on details. Not something to buy if you want to actually go out and DO something now. This book is mostly intended to get you involved in their very expensive mentoring, coaching, or course programs.

Summary: So easy & so simple, it's a must to start today!
Review: This book is written for everyone, easy to read and understand with all the information needed for anyone to get started. Peter Conti and David Finkel teach not only how to build wealth buying foreclosures but more importantly how to do it with integrity. Solving problems for those that have financial issues, while making sure not to ever "take advantage" of them is a point made clear throughout all of Peter and David's books. Making Big Money Buying Foreclosures..... is more than a book about Real Estate investing, as you read each page you get a real feel for the authors, the genuine spirit of fair play and sincerity both Peter & David posess reach out from each page letting you know this is not just about building wealth; but helping people.
I had the opportunity to spend this last weekend in Devner, CO with the Mentor Financial Group (owned by Peter Conti & David Finkel) and I am sold on the fact these two gentleman walk their talk. Buying foreclosures is a time spent working with sellers in an emotional state; this book teaches you as an investor how to work with these sellers in a way that is not demeaning but even uplifting. If you are an investor, big or small or maybe someone simply considering the purchase of a few properties to hang onto for future income or a more quality retirement, buy this book. Making Big Money Investing In Foreclosures......was not written and published to be put on your shelf, I have read dozens of books regarding Real Estate investment and for me, it's always been about the people I am working with and the wealth & freedom building, in that order. Even if you know nothing about Real Estate investing or are a licensed Real Estate Agent - (...) - READ IT - FOLLOW WHAT IT SAYS, EXACTLY HOW IT SAYS TO DO IT.......IT'S THAT SIMPLE! It has something for everyone and you will be glad you did.

Summary: Decent information and approaches
Review: This book provides a relatively poor overview of the foreclosure process (understandable since it changes somewhat by locality) and spends way too much time on salesy sounding scripts to use when talking to people. However, there are enough useful tidbits to make the book worth reading.
Rating:
Summary: Absolute Newbie
Review: This category of books (Investing in Real Estate) has the formula down cold. General topics are covered as well as the gist of possible scenarios, but NO details are given regarding the process. As the saying, goes the "devil's in the details" - in this case so is the money and you won't make ANY if this is the only book you read. If you don't have ANY book on foreclosures this would be an OK place to start, but my suggestion is to keep looking or find a good foreclosure attorney (no I'm NOT an attorney) willing to tutor you in the ins and outs of the process and explain the pros and cons for the homeowner and mortgage company and where an investor/buyer may fit in.

Summary: Good primer
Review: This is a good overview of the process. One must have a base knowledge of contracts, and particular savvy at research. Several good negotiating gambits - seems these guys have done this before (!).Well worth the money spent.

Summary: This is where it all begins
Review: This is a great book. I had read a lot of other information about getting started in real estate, been to seminars, chatted on endless discussion boards, but nothing put me on the right track and got me MOVING until I read this book.
Peter Conti and David Finkel don't just give you theories or general "deal structuring" techniques... They actually take you by the hand and lead you step-by-step through the whole process. Finding leads, negotiating great deals, filling properties... It's all there!
I got started with my investing at 22 years old... Just out of college. In the two years since then, I've acquired and filled 7 properties, and am about to pick up 3 more on Wednesday.
If you know someone who is eager to get started investing, but doesn't know much about rehab, or have thousands of dollars to put into down-payment money, this book is a great investment!
