Reader Comments
"The very first time I looked in the newspaper I found a property that fit your description, "bread & butter." I immediately contacted the owner who said he was interested in selling. "After two days we closed and I netted $31,463.12 on my very first deal. I cannot believe how easy this is. Your books have changed my life.”

"When I first read your preforeclosure course I wasn't sure I could do it. So far I have bought 4 houses and made $11,650, $12,500, $8,660 and $6,300. Your course should be used by anyone who wants to make a lot of money.“

"I purchased your book about 2 years ago and have made a ton of money utilizing your techniques. In my most recent transaction, I put the property under contract with $1 as my earnest money deposit and the owner and his ex-wife each $500. I flipped the property within a few weeks to another investor for a net profit of $11,214.40. Not bad for about 6 hours of work.”

"I bought your book a few years back. I used a technique in your course. Funny thing is, I used no money to secure a few deals I did. I have made money many times using your methods. I would like to thank you for getting me started."

"I began on this journey on a full-time basis in January and just got my first deed to a property. It was a text book case – a vacant property in the foreclosure process, owner who abandoned the property is living in New Mexico and had to be tracked down (unlisted phone number, etc.) and best of all, she turned over the deed for $100 just to be done with the whole thing. My investor and I will realize about $20,000 apiece upon sale after all expenses are taken care of. Not bad for a first deal!!!”
