This book is very poorly written. The author gives extremely vague descriptions of the foreclosure process. The "method" that he presents is little more than "hand waving" generalities, and buzzwords. He uses jargon freely without defining it, and compounds the confusion with grammatical and spelling errors.
The author proposes one solution to relieve the reader's confusion - buy more books and tapes! Every third page of this tract contains a plug for the author's seminar series and other books for his diverse areas of expertise.
This book is a "must miss" for anybody looking for serious information about real estate.

If I were attending a lecture for a few dollars, I would find the basic information included in here somewhat helpful. The outline formats advising to seek out real estate agents, lawyers, and court offices are decent starting points. Some of the questions to ask are good for organizational purposes.

However, Cook glosses over some of the key aspects of understanding the complexities of Foreclosures. Other terminology could be explained in more detail specifically related to loan issues.

Perhaps if Wade Cook took the time to write a few more pages instead of promoting his other resources, more readers would be satisfied with his product. This lack of effort can cause people to wonder what Cook's true motives are.

Somehow Cook did better with Wall Street Money Machine as he touched on more topics and provided better advise. Also the promotion was a little less obvious. Look for a more in depth foreclosure book as this one has the feel of a lecture handout rather than a book.

I am a married senior in college who is interested in buying Real Estate after I graduate. This is the first book I have read about buying real estate. I liked it a lot. It taught me the basics that will help me in my furture investing.
I also love Robert Kiyosaki's books.

Obviously, the first 4 reveiws were written by the same person, DA!. Ive never read the book, but i will be getting it soon. Based on my knowledge of complainers, which the previous reveiwer is, this book should be educational. Brad

This book is a quick read, but is jam packed with lots of useful information. I would highly reccommend this to anyone interested in purchasing foreclosures, this should be one of the first books you buy. It's definately great for the beginning!!!

I read in another post to ignore paid critics. Hmmm, why would anybody want to pay anybody to shoot this book down? It seems to me the reverse is true based on the positive reviews that convinced me to order this book in the first place.

Regrettably I have to say this book is rather disappointing. It is poorly written. It is more of a flimsy booklet, half of it filled with ads and offers for the author's other products, and the other half with senseless cartoons and self righteous drivel. The author perseverates on things that are obvious and entirely skips important topics and terminology. (For instance, it mentions in an example a quitclaim without devoting any explanation at all to what it means or how it is done.)

I would not say I did not learn anything, as I have no previous knowledge in this area, but I do not feel I am much better off now then I was before. I found a web site that contains a lot more info and explains things much better. Frankly, for the price I feel gypped.
