Post: Best Pre-Foreclosure Book or Education Source for an Investor?

Hello all,

My name is Mark. I am 34 years old and from the great state of New Jersey. I am beginning my journey into real estate investing and I have decided to pursue pre-foreclosures. I was wondering if anyone had advice on a good book to start my education and sharpen my skills. 

I was considering "The Pre-Foreclosure Property Investor's Kit" by Thomas Lucier. It has great reviews but it was written in 2004. I know much of the strategies are timeless but I was wondering if the book being 11 years old would leave me misinformed in any ways. Not sure what has changed legally in that time.

So if you were starting all over again today, where would you seek information/education about your craft?

Thanks!

Post: Getting rid of ants without harsh chemicals

Methods for getting rid of ants can depend upon where you are located and the species of ant you are battling. The simplest method would be to use a borax and sugar mix. It will take a long time to see results but it is effective. I always get nervous using borax because I have small pets and kids. Lately I have been using essential oils for various pest control applications. I find them to be every bit as effective as the toxic chemicals that exterminators are using. Here is a video detailing a method similar to the one I use. Hope it helps! Goodluck!
