 Thorough and well thought out May 21, 2010
Daniel Hall (Corpus Christi, TX USA)
I have dabbled with real estate for years usually making good money and sometimes being hammered (like with the last crash in the RE market). But overall RE has been good to me. Be that as it may, I have lost enough to know that I wanted to minimize my risk while still having plenty of upside potential. Real estate options are a vehicle to accomplish this goal. Thus, I started educating myself on the subject and found this most excellent book. Mr. Lucier is thorough and detailed and relates the reality of what it takes to profit (not like some of these dreamweaver real estate gurus who like to sell you on how "easy" it is).
What I am saying is this book is for you if you are truly serious about mastering RE options.

 Simply a book of lists December 14, 2009

I've made it about halfway through this book and had to stop. It was so dull and dry, full of lists of things to do to find and buy Real Estate options. Good information, but dull as could be. It would have been much better had the author included examples of how to go about using the techniques he lists. But once again, the information was good if that's all you're looking for.
 Informative, but many other options January 14, 2009

As a beginner in investing I am at a point where I'm still learning the tricks of the trade. Though this book was infromative I still have to favor the others I have read specifically, "The Pizza Delivery Millionaire"..by Rick Vazquez. It's sold here on Amazon and also on their website for an affordable price..which I think is a great deal if
1. you are intimidated by investing
2. You want to start investing but have no idea where to start
That book is great!
Good author, not some of his best work April 4, 2008

I don't know, I thought this seemed like a great idea. And maybe in some markets it is. In Philadelphia, it's different from the authors home of Florida and I just didn't get anything out of reading this book. When he says options are a little known used RE tool, he ain't lying! After reading Mr. Lucier's book I realized that this was a concept that was completely impractical for me. Some of his stories about finding warehouses that sat vacant for years, cleaning the floor and a coat of pain and voila! $25000 profit, well, they just seem totally out there to me. If you think you can make a go of it, yes, it takes little money but this concept is seldom used and not going to work in many places.

I've heard good things about Thomas Lucier's books, so I approached this one with high expectations and he didn't let me down. He illuminates the argument for this powerful investing tool -- namely, real estate options.
Good even for beginners, Lucier starts with a basic introduction to real estate option investing before moving on to the details. I especially liked the chapter on how you can use options to profit from problem properties that other investors might shy away from -- knowing how to put deals together where other investors can't or won't can give you a leg up on the competition in a time when I'll take what I can get.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I should say that I am an attorney, real estate broker, investor, trainer, and author of another unique and highly readable book on real estate investing that can also be found here on Amazon -- The WealthLoop Series Beginner's Guide to Building Wealth Buying Houses: The Foolproof Roadmap to Real Estate Riches Without the Risks and Hassles of Landlording.
Lucier has written an informative book that's worthy of your time. Buy it if you are serious about making a success of real estate investing.
