DON'T waste $295.00 on audio tapes from Ed Beckley, Dave DelGatto or any of those other CLOWNS for an education. A well written and FREE book at your local library called --- CASHLESS INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE by Cummings will answer any questions you may have on real estate transactions of this type.
