Looking for where to start.....I have researched and read many books on foreclosurers, I have also found websites like www.nhmsi.com that list REO properties.

I've read a few books and been through various forums on real estate investing to get educated.Now I'm just as excited as the next guy/gal, but what gives me a moment of pause is not having to talk to a seller or looking like an idiot while putting a "creative deal" together.

I came to the work as a grantwriter and program developer and started attending meetings, reading books and learning the business from the perspective of the professional investor.

It will largely tell you everything you need to know about MH deals.Even if you want to work on the program above the book will fill in many of the gaps and help you be much more effective.John Corey

I've read books that say....be a straight shooter with everyone you deal with in REI since it's those relationships that will make your future deals even more successful.

Read robert kiyosaki book on Tax Loopholes, i read it and formulated a list of questions to ask a CPA when i find one to see if they are still applicable today... jus a few examples are decpreciation (unsure on how exactly it works but i understand the concept), some rules on capital gain and how to avoid it.

>>>>Hi,Here's a quote from one of my favorite books on tax deeds/sheriff sales:1.

TRUSTEE'S SALE OF 2061 ROYAL FERN COURT 12B TRUSTEE'S SALE OF 2061 ROYAL FERN COURT 12B Reston, VA 20191 In execution of a Deed of Trust in the original principal amount of $212,100.00, with an annual interest rate of 12.1500% from BRIAN DAVID BROWN dated August 26, 2005, recorded among the land records of the Circuit Court for the COUNTY OF FAIRFAX as Deed Book/Instrument # 17705 AT PAGE 2027, the undersigned appointed Substitute Trustee will offer for sale at public auction in the COUNTY OF FAIRFAX, on the courthouse steps at the front of the Circuit Court building for the County of Fairfax located at 4110 Chain Bridge Road, Fairfax, Virginia on January 30, 2007 at 11:30 AM, the property with improvements to wit: APARTMENT NUMBERED 2061-12B, TYPE B-R, SOUTHGATE CONDOMINIUM, AS DESCRIBED IN THAT CERTAIN MASTER DEED ESTABLISHING A HORIZONTAL PROPERTY REGIME WITH ATTACHED PLATS DESIGNATING THE RELATIVE LOCATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF EACH APARTMENT RECORDED IN DEED BOOK 3912 AT PAGE 254, AMONG THE LAND RECORDS OF FAIRFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA, AND ANY AMENDMENTS THERETO HEREAFTER RECORDED, AS PERMITTED BY PARAGRAPH F.9 OF THE SAID MASTER DEED. and described in the above Deed of Trust.

it's not just about reading books about real estate investing and asking questions about title insurance, appraisals and contract clauses.it's about going the extra mile.

I flipped through the book for a while, but did not buy it.
