I see it often on e-bay auctions. In fact I think it on there now–I noticed it yesterday. I don’t know the prices they sell for, as I already have my copy.
Also. You might find it on half.com, amazon.com’s used books section, and I think barnesandnoble.com has a used books section also, although I have not looked there.

Just curious if anyone has heard anything at all about a Real Estate Investing Consultant, Dr. Albert Lowry or his affiliated consulting firm Business Development Services out of Utah. Already signed up for their consulting services and a little nervous about validity - Please respond ASAP, Thanks!

Clair is right about Al Lawry. His first book was excellant. Some of his later ones were not not so hot.
I heard him give a pitch for his weekend seminar on real estate investing and felt that he made it seems easier than it is. He was, in my judgment, dipping into lies about real estate investing to try to pull in the people to take the course. I do not know how good the course is. I know that it cost what seemed to me to be a high cost.
Al was a legitimate real estate investor here in Oakland for many years. Currently there are no properties owned in the name Lawry in this county, Alameda. I remember about 15 years ago that he and his wife had to foreclose on an apartment house here in Oakland that they had sold and carried back a loan on. At that time they did not seem to own any properties in Alameda County in their own names.
Al started out working with William Nickerson doing seminars and then they separated company. He was later affiliated with Tony Hoffman for a while which, by my lights, is a distinct negative.

JD, Dr. Albert Lowry is a pioneer investor like Robert G Allen and has written several real estate investing books. Go to your public library and check out some of his books!

Has anyone been through the course and was successful as Dr. Lawry says. This market is hard to by forclosures at a low price, invest money to fix up, pay mortgage, and turn around and make a profit.

I attended the “free” introduction on 1/7/03. It all sounds great…However, the cost of the training is very high. I’m going to start looking into some books to become familiar, so that I can get an idea of what is what.

There is no information on this matter that I know of. If the students were a success after taking the course, I suspect that Lowry would be trumpting that in his advertising.
Foreclosure investing is not for beginners, in my opinion. I am doubtful that Lowry can teach much beyond beginning stuff in a weekend. I would think that a person could get more out of reading Lowry’s first book or many other books, but I have not taken Lowry’s course.

My husband and I just attended his free seminar to go the next step to the teaching seminar at a pretty pricey tuition. I tried to find one of his books at Borders, they are not in print. Wish I could find the first one that is recommended. Any ideas?
