About the “How to Buy Preforeclosure Homes” eBook

Property owners across the country are experiencing foreclosures in record numbers. To avoid losing their homes to foreclosure, and losing their equity and damaging their credit, troubled homeowners would prefer to sell their homes as quickly as possible, at a very low price.

The information included in this best-selling title – in addition to your RealtyTrac subscription – will give you the competitive edge over less knowledgeable buyers and investors.

In this eBook, veteran real estate investor Lance Young teaches you how to contact these homeowners and buy their houses at a discount of 35% to 50% before the preforeclosure auction takes place. In addition, you’ll learn:

  • Which kinds of pre-foreclosure properties to invest in and which to pass on.
  • Methods that tell you the fair market value of a property and whether or not a certain deal will be profitable.
  • How working with a real estate agent can save you time and prevent costly mistakes.
  • How to “decode” legal notices about foreclosures in the newspaper (without having to go to law school).
  • Tips for negotiating with homeowners and settling on a property in five days or less.
  • Options for financing your ventures.
  • How to find investors and have them waiting so you can “flip” a house for $10,000 or more in immediate profit.

Take advantage of the methods that successful investors use to locate, purchase and sell preforeclosure homes. This title is one of several new titles in RealtyTrac’s series of instantly downloadable eBooks. Invest for profit with these powerful resource materials.

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!!!”
