Rating: Summary: Marketing Material or Real Estate book? Review: This book appears to be a marketing promotion for Wade's other products. Save your money!!!
Rating: Summary: Brief but good - worked for me Review: This book is a lot like Suze Orman's 9 Steps pocket sized book - it covers a lot of information that you will not find anywhere else and actually works. I'm sure that Wade could have written a huge book with generic advice like the other foreclosure authors do. Or fill it with a lot of fluff like the other authors. But then, Wade would have been just like the other authors and this book would lose i t's originality and value. I followed Wade's advice and took advantage of the current economic downfall while helping other people save their credit. Talk about WIN-WIN!
Rating: Summary: Great foreclosure book!!! Review: This book is a quick read, but is jam packed with lots of useful information. I would highly reccommend this to anyone interested in purchasing foreclosures, this should be one of the first books you buy. It's definately great for the beginning!!!
Rating: Summary: An excellent book on foreclosures Review: This book is not large at under 150 pages but is jamm packed with useful information that you won't find anywhere else. If you are looking for thick books jammed with frivilous information, read the other books. If you want the real meat, read Wade Cook.
Rating: Summary: The Ron Popiel of real estate books... Review: This book is very poorly written. The author gives extremely vague descriptions of the foreclosure process. The "method" that he presents is little more than "hand waving" generalities, and buzzwords. He uses jargon freely without defining it, and compounds the confusion with grammatical and spelling errors. The author proposes one solution to relieve the reader's confusion - buy more books and tapes! Every third page of this tract contains a plug for the author's seminar series and other books for his diverse areas of expertise. This book is a "must miss" for anybody looking for serious information about real estate.
Rating: Summary: Quick, easy read - Jam packed with ideas Review: This book may be small, but is loaded with powerful strategies to invest successfully in foreclosures. Many creative ide. A must read for everyone interested in real estate investing.
Rating: Summary: General basics on foreclosure Review: This book was an easy quick read about the basics of foreclosures. As an overview it's worth reading but if you are looking for a lot of details this book doesn't have them. This book did have some helpful forms & checklists to use when calling homeowners in foreclosure. In Northern California all the foreclosure information is available from the title company including a copy of the original mortgage for the homeowners, property details, liens & recent comparable sales. Any real estate agent can get this information for free from the title company. I wish this book had covered more details on the auction process as well as how to deal with the lenders for properties in foreclosure. He only briefly mentions the "due on sale" clause that some lenders have in their loan contracts and this is a big aspect of taking over the property from someone. The book is worth reading for a good overview of what's involved but further reading is needed to learn the step by step process.
Rating: Summary: Fortunes in Foreclosures, The Wade Cook Way! Review: This great book by Wade Cook shows you how to make a fortune in foreclosures while saving the homeowners credit. Are you preying on misfortune or a helping hand? This book is the only foreclosure book that I have read that talks about helping people, not just profitting from them.Great book Wade.
Rating: Summary: Very good book. Jammed with useful information. Review: This is a excellent book on how to create wealth in real estate via foreclosures. I expecially liked chapter 6-The 7 steps and chapter 4-An investors dream.
Rating: Summary: Good, solid advice. On the money. Ignore paid bashers. Review: This is a small but very good book on how to work the foreclosure business. Don't judge this book but it's size. Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson is also a small book, not much bigger than this excellent book by Wade and has been a best seller and changed peoples lives for the last four years or so. Wade cut his teeth in the real estate business. I like the fact that WADE IS OFFERING a system that has been tested and is based on his own experience. This is NOT a me too generic real estate book written by someone who has never done the business but is only a writer. I am also glad to hear that Wade Cook is back after a sabattical. Looking forward to his next book coming out this spring.
