I have a friend who never seems to have to go to work. Whenever we got together dinner or a trip he never seemed to run out of money. A while back we went on a cruise with our wives. This particular cruise had us on the water for a few days so we had time to talk around the pool. My friend went into great depth on how he was buying foreclosed properties and making a nice living without having to hold an 8 to 5 job. Over the next few days he detailed exactly how he went about picking up these properties. This book "What the Insiders Know About Buying Foreclosures " include all the tips he shared with me.
