This book provides excellent insight for buying pre-foreclosures. It is well-written, easy to understand, and insightful.
I know that there would have been no way for me to get into this business blindly and even after studying Mr Lucier’s book, my first real transaction was quite daunting. Mr Lucier was exceptionally keen on pointing out the psychology of both the seller going through a foreclosure and a novice pre-foreclosure investor like myself. Having been a skeptic and a veteran of many REI Courses and DVDs, for past years, I think this book has finally provided me the drive to get up and enter the world of Real Estate Investing in Pre-Foreclosures. I bought this book on a Saturday and finished it in two days.
The email turnaround time is impressive! Overall it’s a very interesting and informative read. He takes it one step further by posting all of these links on his own website so you don’t even have to write them down or type them in your browser’s address bar! Thomas does not sugar-coat his words, and obviously has plenty of experience.
Tom Lucier is the real deal with his no nonsense, meticulous attention to detail. It’s as if he’s there holding your hand through the process. Points are basic, but that is what the business is built on – doing the basics right. A great number of websites are referenced whereas many of the other books written on the subject were written in the 80’s before the explosion of the internet. This book differs from other books on the subject in that it’s more of a how-to book than a motivational speech. Personally, I’ve been a mentor to people in different fields over the years, but now I feel confident to say that Mr Lucier is my mentor! If you are interested in investing in distressed real property buy this book now.
Advice, experience, samples of agreements, samples of letters, forms, web addresses – everything was there. Thomas Lucier has written an honest down to earth how-to guide to get the novice started in buying pre-foreclosures. It was exactly the “roadmap” type of publication that I was looking for that spells out the Pre-foreclosure process in concise detail. It is also refreshingly devoid of the typical pump-you-up hype so prevalent in most of the real estate investment how-to books that I have read. Start there and probably won’t need to buy anything else. Great resource and needed in any one’s library that is planning on investing in real estate. Being in real estate myself, after all the books I have read relating to this topic, there has been no one book that surpassed this one in usefulness and ease of understanding, for both the professional as well as the novice. I want to say that Mr Lucier gives it to you straight, no run around and false hopes and definitely insightful, knowledgeable and worth more than the average price the book sells for. Very well written and organized book, packed with great material. Most so called Real Estate guru’s would charge many times the price for this book and give the same material.
I even had a question about selling pre-foreclosures and received a reply back within 24 hours. His response back to me probably saved me thousands of dollars.
