How to Make Money Buying Pre Foreclosure Properties Before They Hit the County Courthouse Steps: The Complete Guide to Finding and Buying Pre-Foreclosure Properties (Paperback) by Thomas J. Lucier (9 customer reviews) Availability: Available from these sellers . 7 used & new available from $76.95 Other Editions: List Price: Our Price: Other Offers: Paperback Order it used! Editorial Reviews Book Description Before Thomas J. Lucier wrote the first edition of How To Make Money Buying Pre-Foreclosure Properties Before They Hit The County Courthouse Steps in 1989, he was making time consuming and costly mistakes. The mistakes were inevitable; no one had written a book on how to buy pre-foreclosure properties, so Tom had to learn the hard way from his own mistakes and first hand experiences. All of the advice that he received said: "buy property on the county courthouse steps after it has been foreclosed on." But Tom eventually learned to avoid those costly courthouse-bidding wars by buying directly from property owners whose mortgage loans are in default and facing foreclosure. And the book that didn’t exist back in 1985, when Tom bought his first pre-foreclosure property, is now in its fourth revised edition. The newly revised fourth edition of How To Make Money Buying Pre-Foreclosure Properties Before They Hit The County Courthouse Steps was released on October 1, 2003, and is comprised of fourteen meaty chapters that are packed chock-full of step-by-step instructions, ready-to-use information and practical, no-nonsense advice. You’ll learn: 1. The difference between judicial and non-judicial foreclosure. 2. How the short payoff sale acquisition technique works. 3. How to get subordinate or "junior" lienholders to discount their liens by fifty percent or more. 4. How to use foreclosure notices to find all of the property owners in your county whose loans are in default and facing foreclosure. 5. How to use direct mail to contact property owners whose loans are in default. 6. How to perform due diligence on pre-foreclosure properties. 7. How to quickly verify loan information with foreclosing lenders. 8. How to accurately estimate the current market value of a pre-foreclosure property. 9. How to negotiate with property owners whose loans are in default and facing foreclosure. 10. How to properly prepare your purchase agreements and protect your interests when buying pre-foreclosure properties. 11. How to package, market and resell pre-foreclosure properties for maximum profit. 12. How to do a thorough pre-buy property inspection. 13. What you need to know about your state’s foreclosure statute when buying pre-foreclosure properties. How To Make Money Buying Pre-Foreclosure Properties Before They Hit The County Courthouse Steps has a fourteen-page chapter on the much-ballyhooed short payoff sale acquisition technique. The problem with ninety-nine percent of the short sales hype that’s currently being foisted onto an unsuspecting public, by unscrupulous real estate hucksters peddling overpriced courses and boot camp seminars, is that it’s based on misinformation, half-truths, distortions and outright lies. And unfortunately, all of this hype has fueled unrealistic expectations on the part of would-be short sale investors, who’ve been led to believe, that every lender in America will approve a short payoff sale, at the drop of a hat. Tom Lucier gives you the unvarnished truth about short payoff sales, along with detailed, step-by-step instructions on exactly how the short payoff of a mortgage or deed of trust actually works. How To Make Money Buying Pre-Foreclosure Properties Before They Hit The County Courthouse Steps comes complete with the following ready-to-use worksheets, letters, checklists, notices, forms and agreements: 1. Short payoff sale checklist. 2. Sample notice of lis pendens. 3. Sample notice of default. 4. Loan breach letter. 5. Borrower’s letter of authorization to release loan information. 6. Foreclosure lawsuit worksheet. 7. Notice of default worksheet. 8. Due diligence checklist. 9. Property tracking worksheet. 10. Short payoff sale proposal letter. 11. Six sample letters to owners in foreclosure. 12. Loan worksheet. 13. Sample HUD 1 Settlement Statement. 14. Sample Fannie Mae broker’s price opinion. 15. Request for mortgage or deed of trust estoppel letter. 16. Subordinate lienholder worksheet. 17. Current market value worksheet. 18. Letter to private mortgage or deed of trust lender. 19. Letter to subordinate lienholders. 20. Thirteen property inspection checklists. 21. Owner interview worksheet. 22. Purchase agreement. 23. Walk-around property inspection checklist. 24. Buyer's closing checklist. 25. Daily repair cost worksheet. 26. Outgoing telephone message. 27. Participating broker agreement. 28. Assignment of purchase agreement. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need a degree from Harvard Law School in order to make money buying properties directly from owners whose mortgage or deeds of trust loans are in default, and about to be sold on the county courthouse steps at a public foreclosure auction sale. Granted, finding, researching, inspecting, negotiating, buying and reselling pre-foreclosure properties is a lot of hard work. But it can be a very lucrative line of work if you really know what you’re doing, are well organized, and have the persistence that’s necessary to be a profitable investor. And, unlike the roving weekend real estate carnies, late-night, cable-TV hucksters, Internet real estate whiz kids, and a certain Harvard Business School graduate posing as a "real estate savant," Tom Lucier doesn’t claim to know-it-all, and you’ll never hear him promise to make you a pre-foreclosure property millionaire within the next thirty days. The simple fact remains that no real estate investment strategy will work unless you do!

Common Home Selling Problems that Slow Down Your Sale There are lots of reasons why offers might not come in when you're selling a home, but let's get past the top home selling killer–overpricing. It's the first thing you should consider if your house is still sitting on the market while others around it are changing owners. Price the House for its Market Some home sellers want to price their homes way above market value, because they think the cushion gives them more negotiating room. But what overpricing actually does is eliminate potential buyers. A home with a true value of $200,000 has a certain set of features that contribute to its value. A house valued at $160,000 in the same market normally has less to offer than the higher priced home and simply can't compete with it. Buyers in the $200K range won't be impressed with the home's features and buyers looking for homes nearer its true market value won't even see it because of the too-high pricetag. It doesn't matter what you want for your property, what's important is what your property is worth . Overpricing is usually easy to correct, but there are plenty of homes that buyers pass on for other–sometimes simple–reasons. If you're a home seller, and your house isn't selling, it's time to anaylze the situation and figure out why. Four Simple Reasons Homes Don't Sell 1. A Horrible Photo in the MLS You might be surprised how many buyers say NO! to houses simply because of poor photos used in ads or Multiple Listing Service handouts. It's even more amazing that agents let them discard a house based on that criteria, but it happens all the time. Good photos are not always easy to get. Houses aren't built on lots with thought to future photo opportunities. The sun isn't always in an ideal position for the photo. The agent might not be capable of taking a good picture. Home selling rule number one is to make sure the house is well represented in all photographs. 2. It's Hard to Sell a Dirty House Some sellers don't bother to clean a house before they try to sell it, and if they don't even clean when they know people will be inspecting the house, they sure won't freshen up the paint, sort through clutter or handle odor control. Home buyers nearly always think that dirty houses need repairs, when all they usually require is some thorough TLC. After a few turned-off buyers, agents hesitate to show dirty houses. No showings, no sale. Take a hard look at the property to make sure your house doesn't fall into the needs-cleaning category. 3. Curb Appeal is the Pits Home buyers like to do drive-bys. Imagine driving by a house that's for sale and finding that the yard hasn't been mowed recently or worse, that it's full of weeds. Or seeing loose items scattered everywhere on the lawn. Or dirty windows. Or discovering that the home's color is just one shade shy of outshining the sun. If the home's curb appeal is terrible, the majority of buyers won't even make an appointment to go inside. Improve your curb appeal before the first buyer has a chance to view your property. 4.
