I picked this up on a recommendation from an investor friend - and I wasn't disappointed!

The book has lots of practical advice and actual steps for going through the pre-foreclosure process with a homeowner - far BEFORE the lenders and other foreclosure investors get involved. I wish there had been a little more info about the short sale process (from the bank's point of view), but as the author notes - there is no standardized process in most cases.

Compared to many books I've seen, this one cuts right to the chase and lays out the strategies with very little "filler" or "fluff" that you get in many books. The author does a good job presenting examples and actual letters, and I like the option of downloading them as well.

While it won't make you a millionaire overnight, this book is a step in the right direction for me and anyone starting out investing in properties. Just wish I had found it about two years ago when I started!
