Decent information and approaches
This book provides a relatively poor overview of the foreclosure process (understandable since it changes somewhat by locality) and spends way too much time on salesy sounding scripts to use when talking to people. However, there are enough useful tidbits to make the book worth reading.

So easy & so simple, it's a must to start today!
This book is written for everyone, easy to read and understand with all the information needed for anyone to get started. Peter Conti and David Finkel teach not only how to build wealth buying foreclosures but more importantly how to do it with integrity. Solving problems for those that have financial issues, while making sure not to ever "take advantage" of them is a point made clear throughout all of Peter and David's books. Making Big Money Buying Foreclosures..... is more than a book about Real Estate investing, as you read each page you get a real feel for the authors, the genuine spirit of fair play and sincerity both Peter & David posess reach out from each page letting you know this is not just about building wealth; but helping people.
I had the opportunity to spend this last weekend in Devner, CO with the Mentor Financial Group (owned by Peter Conti & David Finkel) and I am sold on the fact these two gentleman walk their talk. Buying foreclosures is a time spent working with sellers in an emotional state; this book teaches you as an investor how to work with these sellers in a way that is not demeaning but even uplifting. If you are an investor, big or small or maybe someone simply considering the purchase of a few properties to hang onto for future income or a more quality retirement, buy this book. Making Big Money Investing In Foreclosures......was not written and published to be put on your shelf, I have read dozens of books regarding Real Estate investment and for me, it's always been about the people I am working with and the wealth & freedom building, in that order. Even if you know nothing about Real Estate investing or are a licensed Real Estate Agent - (...) - READ IT - FOLLOW WHAT IT SAYS, EXACTLY HOW IT SAYS TO DO IT.......IT'S THAT SIMPLE! It has something for everyone and you will be glad you did.

Peter and David - A Class of Their Own
These two investors have done an excellent job at explaining the nuts and bolts of real estate investing. Many authors fill pages and pages telling us the RESULTS of their successfull negotiations (e.g. infomercial testimonials). But P&D go into the details of how they communicate and negotiate their deals. They've put a lot of thought into their process as they explore the psychology of negotiating with sellers. But why didn't I give this book 5 stars? Because in my view, their 2nd book is EVEN BETTER. While their 1st book was ok, they hit their stride on the 2nd book (Making Big Money Investing in Real Estate Withoug Tenants, Banks, or Rehab Projects) which in my mind is the BEST of the three they've written so far. I give them an A+ for content and quality. And this (new)book is right on the money too. So, I recommend reading BOTH books; they complement each other nicely. They have a win-win approach to investing. They also advocate putting 10% of your profits to good use in helping others. Like I said, a class act!
