Opportunities in the Housing Slowdown
December 2006 Issue
Investors Andy Heller and Scott Frank say they're "licking their chops" in anticipation of diminished competition for foreclosures as fair-weather investors flee the market and would-be owner-occupants look for easier pickings. "This is the time when you should be diving in," says Heller, who co-wrote, with Frank, Buy Even Lower: The Regular People's Guide to Real Estate Riches (Kaplan, $19).

THE TENNESSEAN
Buying properties after foreclosure
Andy Heller figured out pretty quickly that if he was going to buy pre-foreclosure houses to resell for a profit, working with families in a downward spiral could be difficult at best. The way he puts it, he didn't have the "emotional fortitude" to carry it off. That turned out to be a good thing.

Book Every Real Estate Investor Will Love
Book Review by Ilyce R. Glink
What I like about the book is that Frank and Heller take a reasonable approach toward investment property. While they propose you buy your property for a low price, their experience has led them to finding deals from lenders rather than trying to browbeat a desperate seller.

But this is just part-time work for the partners who work full-time as executives for large corporations.

The B&B Team Book Reviews
New book combines foreclosure acquisitions, lease-purchase realty profits .Together, these investors have bought, rented and sold over $10 million of residential property. Their "modus operandi" is to buy bargain-priced foreclosures after the lender has taken the property back from a defaulting owner. They dislike trying to buy direct from defaulting individual owners because of the seller emotions involved.
