Description
The waves of foreclosures sweeping the nation have created near-unprecedented investment opportunities today. Savvy investors who truly recognize what’s happening, understand local and national real estate markets, and know how to react accordingly can come away big financial and personal winners.
The ForeclosureS.com Guide to Advanced Investing Techniques You Won't Learn Anywhere Else can help make that happen for you. It’s the natural next step toward your investment success following the hugely successful first ForeclosureS.com Guide -- The ForeclosureS.com Guide to Making Huge Profits Investing in Pre-Foreclosures Without Selling Your Soul (Wiley, 2007).
This is your step-by-step must-have guide to learning how to advance beyond the basics of buying only properties in pre-foreclosure and only those that appear to have plenty of equity upfront. We’re talking about advanced foreclosure investing that will empower you to become a successful foreclosure investor no matter local or national market economics, whether a homeowner has equity or not, and even when the property’s owner is missing or nonexistent.
As always, Alexis McGee’s white-knight approach to the business is not about gimmicks or hype, get-rich-quick schemes or turning unsuspecting or defenseless homeowners in financial trouble out of their homes. It’s about learning real, ethical, and honest approaches to foreclosure investing that will help you become truly successful in this business and let you sleep well at night.
With this guide, Alexis will teach you how to buy deeds of trust (to gain ownership of houses “the back door way”) the right way, learn the realities of trustee and courthouse auctions, discern the opportunities—or lack thereof—in REO’s (bank/lender owned real estate) and short sales (pre-foreclosure homes without equity), deal with the phenomenon of REO auctions, and, of course, win in today’s softer markets.
As with the first ForeclosureS.com Guide, Alexis and her ForeclosureS.com coaching staff use real life stories, people, and experiences to show you the right way to do things. She details how to figure the numbers, dollars and cents, and the right and wrong way to structure a deal. Every chapter includes a Takeaway at the end to summarize key points. The book also provides synopses of state laws as well as samples of many documents key to the foreclosure-investing process.
