I went into the right livelihood of the real estate industry by becoming a real estate agent, then a Realtor. I’ve been employed as an agent for over 4 months and quickly began thinking what does the broker do for 3% of a commission and then, why only take 3% of a deal if you can form your own investment company and keep all of the profit. My mother and I formed our own real estate investment company, LLC. She was the investor and I managed the company. Before this formation I ordered the following books and have read them all dealing with the subject of foreclosures and flipping as follows: The Complete Guide to Flipping Propertys” Wily, Keys to Buying Foreclosed and Bargain Homes by Barron’s, How to Finance any Real Estate by Misko, Real Estate Flipping by Weiss, How to Pick Up Foreclosures, by Cook, and The ABC’s of Real Estate Investing, What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow, The Essential Dictionary of Real Estate, Holton, Real Estate Riches, How to Become Rich Using Your Bankers
Money, by Dolf Roos, and Making Big Money Investing in Foreclosures Without Cash or Credit…..then there is The Pre-Foreclosure Property Investor’s Kit by Thomas Lucier. This book if there is only one guide to read for successful investing is the one. It is methodical, stragetic, and written in an easy to utilize of manner. The author also has a direct website, direct e mail address to answer any real estate questions, and gives out his telephone number for support. I testify to this because I called his telephone number and he answered the phone and my questions directly and his response had a significant positive impact on our company thanks to Thomas. Written by Michelle Vernier, a satisfied client.

A realistic guide to investing in the Pre-Foreclosure real estate market. For those who are looking for advice from a long time successful and honest investor without the “become a millionaire overnight” approach. Thomas Lucier walks a beginner through every conceivable step of purchasing and reselling a Pre-Foreclosure property, providing every last detail. This book is a wealth of information, strait to the point citing many internet sources, real life examples, sample letters, check lists, and even what to say while negotiating the terms of the purchase. It becomes clear to the reader from the beginning that the author has a vast knowledge of the topic and conducts a profitable business in an honest and ethical manner. Thomas outlines all that beginners must know to succeed, while highlighting the stumbling blocks that often cause them to fail. He is very systematic in his work and advises on how to take extra precaution to be absolutely certain that you have covered all your bases and do not get ripped off. Best of all he provides his personal email and phone number for you to contact him with questions. I sent him an email asking for his advice and he got back to me within a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon.

If I would have known about this book when it first came out, I would have saved, literally, 10′s of thousands of dollars. I have purchased a lot of guru’s courses, and nothing comes close to this book. A step by step guide from start to finish. Tells you like it is with no fluff. Thanks for the information.

This is an extremely informative book focusing on buying property “pre-foreclosure”. There are several helpful techniques and even more web site addresses to help the reader do the research required in making wise decisions. There is an entire page of foreclosure reporting services which inform subscribers when properties first enter the foreclosure process. Thomas also lists all sorts of public record sites, sites to locate people, demographic information sites and comparable sales data sites.
There is zero hype or motivational-make a fortune type rah-rah, it’s simply page after page of facts. I love facts, and will jot down and even blog a bunch of the sites mentioned, to remember them and for easy access, but a little bit of pep talk would have been a good addition. Meaning a story mixed in about how the author or so-and-so made a great deal of money doing this may have given some the push needed.

The author was upfront and real about the whole process from beginning to end. No BS, just good information and the plain truth. If you are looking for a “get rich quick” scheme then this is not for you. If you are not willing to “WORK” then this is not for you. If you are willing to “WORK” and do what Thomas J. Lucier says and stick to it then this book is for you.
Now I am going to have to read it a second time, the first time I forgot to highlight the information I needed. Take your time and absorb all of the information as it comes at you quickly, look up his website, the only author I know who will give you his email address and phone number to contact him, and will answer you within 24 hours. I really enjoyed this book.

I have bought at least 4 programs from so called “real estate gurus”. I spent less than $20 and on Thomas Lucier’s book and I got more out of his book then I did out of all 4 programs. His book is easy to read. He tells you exactly what to do, what not to do and why. He educates you about foreclosures and gives you several resources so you can do your own research. I’ll be going to my first foreclosure appointment tomorrow evening. I’ll go over the book again and plan on using all of the forms and checklists (the book is full of forms). He also answers his emails personally. I feel confident about my appointment I’m excited but not in the least bit nervous because I’ve read the Foreclosure Property Investor’s Kit, and I know what to do step by step.

Foreclosure investing is all the rage nowadays, but Thomas Lucier tells you why you must get in during the PRE-FORECLOSURE phase to really make the big bucks. There’s just too much competition for properties once they reach foreclosure.
The author suggests that you get to the properties before they reach foreclosure by doing your homework and locating the properties early. A letter writing campaign is his preferred method of contacting the foreclosees (is that a word???) and will follow up with subsequent letters should he not hear back from the homeowner.
In addition to step by step instructions for locating properties and acquiring them, Lucier gives a treasure trove of information which you can use along the way to help make your job easier. He includes literally hundreds of websites and even provides his email address to provide help to those who need it.
The book covers all the bases, however, it didn’t leave me motivated. The author mentions all of the pitfalls and hard work required in this business and clearly doesn’t try to mislead the reader into thinking it will be easy money. I appreciate the honesty, but must admit I won’t be pursuing pre-foreclosures at this time. However, I haven’t ruled it out for the future, and should I choose to do so, the book will serve as a great instructional manual in my quest.

This was my first great Pre-forclosure book I have read. It has all the details needed to put together a system to locate and purchase pre-forclosure properties….Fix them up and flip them or keep them as investment property. I really liked his straight forward…no bull approach to business. He tells it like it is. I have read several other books and they all gave me some information….and some outdated examples…but Mr. Lucier walks you through the process from start to finish….and doesn’t leave out any steps…and doesn’t sugar coat it….This is not a get rich quick scheme….you work hard and get rich eventually…… I would strongly recommend this book to anybody considering pre-forclosure properties.

This book is one of the best pre-foreclosure books out there. It clearly lays out how to plan your investment, how to look for preforeclosures, how to negotiate, what forms to use, and what warning signs to take note of to avoid risky ventures. A must buy!

Someone from another country once said, this book is no good for another country and gave it low ratings… Well, duh! U.S. law only applies to U.S. stuff. This book is by far one of the best guides on pre-foreclosures and should be considered as the beginner’s guide for bank foreclosures. Also, when the title says ‘distressed’ real estate, it’s not talking about bad properties but rather properties with their mortgages no longer being paid.
The difference is important because distressed properties suggest run down stuff. When actually, a lot of preforeclosures are great houses and for one reason or another the owner no longer chose to pay for it.
Overall a good guide. Also on another note, I only buy books BY investors not marketing gurus or writers. Lucier is a REAL investor, with personal experience. Those are the type of authors you want to read from. Here are other books by REAL investors:
