Publisher's summary
E.H. Sinclair does the unexpected in this book: he points out the pitfalls to avoid in R.E.O. (foreclosed Real Estate Owned by the lenders) investing, and also reveals procedures that the infomercial hucksters use while exploiting the efforts of the buyers of expensive get rich in real estate materials in finding properties to flip.
Sinclair shows how to work smart instead of working hard: the chapters include invaluable tips on how to beat the odds against succeeding in purchasing bank owned foreclosures.
Partial list of the contents:
- Reasons to buy distressed properties
- Structuring favorable terms
- Causes of foreclosures
- Timing the purchase
- During the publication process
- Buying the loan
- The trustee's sale
- After the trustee's sale (REO);
- Locating REOs
- Realtors specializing in REOs
- Computerized record services
- REO Internet resources
Free seminars offered to the public that also promise to provide the funds for attendees to purchase foreclosures are exploiting customers to act as canvassers, allowing those lecture promoters to use the techniques explained in the audiobook to take over the deals found by their canvassers and promising to allow them to share in the profits - if and when the purchased property is actually rehabilitated and sold, at which time the promoters' exaggerated fees will leave very little for the attendee who made the initial connection with the property.
In the meantime, the attendee is made to believe how much anticipated profit has been made, strictly supported by the puffed-up estimate of a quick sale at the expected high sales price. Past attendees or actors then appear in a commercial talking about how easy it was and how much they made on their first deal.
The information in this audiobook tells how to go around the seminar hucksters, find your own REOs, negotiate with the banks, and complete deals.

Story
Many Americans dream of financial freedom, but they're stuck in dead-end jobs and don't know how to get there. You don't need to be one of them. If you invested $35,000 in the stock market today, it could take 52 years for that investment to grow to $1 million. But if you invested that same amount into one single-family $140,000 rental property, it would only take 19 years. With just two rental properties, you could generate $417,000 in profit in just 10 years. Skeptical?

Why have history's greatest minds - from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson along with today's top performers, from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities - embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Story
Some people bounce back in response to setbacks; others break. We often think that these responses are hardwired, but fortunately this is not the case. Stoicism offers us an alternative approach. Plumbing the wisdom of one of the most popular and successful schools of thought from ancient Rome, philosopher William B. Irvine teaches us to turn any challenge on its head. The Stoic Challenge, then, is the ultimate guide to improving your quality of life through tactics developed by ancient Stoics, from Marcus Aurelius and Seneca to Epictetus.
