Buying Real Estate Foreclosures

Summary: Best Foreclosure Book I Have Found
Review: For all of you in New York and New Jersey, this is a MUST have book. Yes some of the information is a bit outdated (written before the internet explosion) it still has a great deal of useful information for buying foreclosures in mortgage states. The author gives courses on Long Island, NY and contributes to many local real estate publications. I also recommend "Flipping Properties"by William Bronchick,...
Finally, don't waste your money on another of those "national foreclosure programs" sold on late night TV or through heavy email marketing -- they are a waste of money. Get this book instead, you'll be very happy!

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: I couldn't imagine a better book for the price. I had the old version of the book that I had bought several years ago and was happy with my investment. The new version is a complete rewrite and is awesome. This book has a lot of no-nonsense information for the novice and professional. It is well written and very entertaining. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Summary: Best Investment I've Ever Made
Review: I have purchased several books on foreclosures over the years (including the informercial ones that cost several hundred dollars). This book by far is the best value. It gives a no-nonsense approach to buying foreclosures and teaches you how to make money without losing your shirt. Melissa Kollen-Rice is a very accomplished writer and is soon to be a lawyer (if she is not already). For less than $20, you owe it to yourself to buy this book.

Summary: I liked this book.
Review: This book is alot better than alot of other books and courses on the subject. Though some of the information is a little outdated(ie were to find information, remember it was written before the internet explosion). It still has a great deal of useful information for anyone interested in the subject. She still gives courses on L.I. in New York and she still contributes to alot of local real estate publications. (For more info on finding up to date info on finding foreclosures, check out an article she contributed to for one of New York's major newspapers New York Newsday. Their 5/19/00 article in the real estate section entitled "Where to Look For Foreclosed Properties" written by Joe Catalano, with all of the info coming from his source: Melissa Kollen. It can be found on Newsday's website.) Skip the late night get rich courses and buy this book instead.
