Just released our second "Dummies" title- Foreclosure Investing For Dummies. It covers all aspects of investing in foreclosure properties- from working with distressed homeowners in preforeclosure, identifying and bidding on potential properties, assessing value, and working with lending institutions, to financing options, teaming up with real estate agents, and networking in your neighborhood to discover the best deals. In short, this book is for everyone looking to make smart choices, minimize risk, and maximize profits when investing in foreclosure properties.
This no-nonsense guide gives you the start-to-finish scoop on:

• Jumping in early during the pre-foreclosure stage
• Researching property titles, mortgages and deeds
• Inspecting the property inside and out
• Obtaining financing
• Networking your way to success
• Avoiding common pitfalls
• Investing with integrity

In Chapter 8, we show you specifically how to research a foreclosure property and put together a "dossier," so when it comes time to bid on a property, you already have a pretty clear idea of the maximum amount you can afford to pay.   Like all For Dummies® books, FIFD Foreclosure Investing For Dummies concludes with the "Part of Tens," including "Ten Common Beginner Blunders," like overestimating a property's value, overbidding in the heat of the battle, and trusting what the homeowners tell you; and "Ten Tips for Avoiding Common Foreclosure Minefields," such as anticipating delays and inspecting the property with your own eyes. The always helpful "Cheat Sheet" provides a preflight checklist and lists of how to invest in pre-foreclosures and buy properties at foreclosure auctions, and the appendix brings you up to speed on foreclosure rules and regulations in all 50 states.
