Asset Forfeiture: A Law Enforcement Perspective
Book Description
Asset Forfeiture reviews the myriad statutes, rules, regulations, confusing and often contradictory judicial decisions, and detailed processes to outline forfeiture procedures for law enforcement administrators, investigators, and officers. The text consists of three principal sections: the development of modern asset forfeiture policy, asset forfeiture law, and administering forfeiture programs. The first section contains five chapters tracing the history of forfeiture in the United States. These chapters include a brief review of forfeiture history and policy, non-judicial forfeiture procedures, civil forfeiture procedures, criminal forfeiture procedures, and state forfeiture processes. The twelve chapters on forfeiture law in the second section discuss several federal forfeiture statutes as they pertain to different law enforcement topics: auto theft, copyright infringement, drug abuse and prevention, espionage, explosives and firearms, gambling, immigration! , the Internal Revenue Code, money laundering, pornography, and racketeering. The third section concerning administration of forfeiture programs, contains three chapters, which include seizing assets, establishing probable cause, and managing forfeiture programs. This unique book is designed to introduce the criminal justice student or the neophyte practitioner to the complexities of forteiture law and procedures. It promotes the aggressive but judicial use of asset forfeiture as a crime-fighting tool, and it advocates the conservative use of forfeited property to further clearly defined law enforcement policies.

Flipping Properties: Generate Instant Cash Profits in Real Estate
Excellent Book!
Reviewer: Kent Harris from Houston, TX United States
This is an alternative to zero down Real Estate. By scouting for properties for investors is an advantage for them, investors don't have time to find the deals and would much rather pay me a finders fee. I made 4 phone calls to 4 different investors and 3 of the 4 wanted Real Estate to invest in! One of the investors has $5 million dollars to invest and is also in the Real Estate business who is also mentoring me on flipping properties, he told me he didn't have time to find the deals, that's were I come in.
Since Sept 11th foreclosures in the Houston area have risen from 800 foreclosures a month to over 2,200 in the month of November! This book gave me ideas on were to find the properties other then the foreclosure sales and was more informative then the other 5 books I read about Real Estate.
A word about legality. Flipping properties is legal as long as you don't put the buyer and seller together, you have to have a Real Estate license for that! You would be considered a Real Estate broker if you were an independent agent and put deals together for the general public. Since I'm working for these specific investors I'm not considered a Real Estate broker.

Great For Starters Of Foreclosures
Reviewer: Barry from Philadelphia
I thought the book was really down to earth on many topics especially the tenants! It really hit home for me and helped me to make some really big decisions, in my real estate career! I'm pushing on today because of what I learned in this book and I'm serious about that. It really explains in layman's terms how to go about EVERYTHING you want to know in foreclosures.

How to Find Hidden Real Estate Bargains
I started my 2nd home business, Real Estate Investing Reviewer: Lucretia Johnson from New YorkI decided to kick-start my own 2nd home based business, Real Estate Investing , after reading this book. As a first time real estate investor, I found myself having steps to finding my first property and researching the property. After reading this book, I went to my 2 local county records office and retrieved my first list of real estate properties going into foreclosure. I knew more about beginning investments in property than most other people, who have been doing this for years. This books also tells you how to watch out for downfalls of investing, which is very important when you're taking these risks. I constantly read it and make notes from it, when I go on my property searches. By reading this book first, it definitely gave me some guidelines before investing in any property, so that I wouldn't have to give the shirt off my back after I signed on the dotted line.

Keys to Buying Foreclosed and Bargain Homes
Concise and easy to read
Reviewer: A reader from Austin, Texas USA
This book is wonderful for the novice trying to learn about the business of investing in real estate. There is not a wasted word in this book and each chapter is only 2-3 pages long so it can be read inbetween commericals during a movie. I read over half the book during one movie.
There are helpful checklists and nuggets of suggestions that should help anyone wanting to buy a house or an investment such as Exhibit 1 showing how prices tend to change according to the season and the General Checklist to apply to any property you are considering buying. There are addresses for all the Hud offices in the US. There are tables to calculate mortgage payments based on the interest rate and there is an excellent explaination of the foreclosure process.
This a nugget of a book written in an extrememly readable and digestable manner. It may be a little too basic for experienced real estate investors but it is perfect for those just starting to learn the subject. I wish I had this book when I bought my first house and anyone facing foreclosure could benefit from reading it as well to understand the process.

Real Estate Development Workbook and Manual
This is an excellent book
Reviewer: A reader from Nairobi Kenya
I have reviewed the content of the book and it is excellent. With some good grounding knowledge of real estate development (for example reading the book real estate development - principles & process by Gayle Berens et al), this book will make you very knowledgeable in real estate, whether you are buying, building or managing a proprty.
I bought the book and I am happy with it...I just hope that the author or the publisher will provide a CD with all the calculation tables included in the next edition of the book. This shortcoming does not diminish the usefulness of the book. Buy it, read it and keep it.
