I started thinking about writing this book in 2008 when the real estate crash had reached full momentum. I started writing in earnest in February of 2009 when my grandson lost his job and the painful process of losing his home through foreclosure.

Since that time millions of people have lost or are about to lose their homes and other real estate through foreclosure. Millions more have lost 30 to 40, and even 50 percent of their equity in their homes and other real estate investments. Millions more have been frozen out of the market by stricter credit and down payment requirements.

If you are one of these millions of people, my hope is that when you read this book you will come away with some ideas that will enable you to get back in the game.

You will:

• ...have the confidence to approach a banker and help them solve their problems and in the process make a little money for yourself.
   
• ...learn about using discounted mortgages, contracts, bonds, and other real and personal property to acquire real estate.
   
• ...understand the power of the option to acquire real estate or any commodity.You will learn the power of zero interest and the sweetheart mortgage. ...learn the importance of using tax deferred exchange in building your estate.You will learn the importance of using professionals, attorneys, and accountants in all of your business transactions.
   
• ...realize how to use other sellers’ properties to increase your exchange portfolio.
