Foreclosure Investing For Dummies Wins Gold

April 8, 2008 on 11:32 am | In Awards, Business, Publishing |

I am pleased to announce that the most recent book I co-authored with Ralph R. Roberts, Foreclosure Investing For Dummies, has won the Gold Medal in the Real Estate (Buying, Investment, Management) category in Axiom’s First Business Book Awards contest:

“The Axiom Business Book Awards are intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary business books and their creators, with the understanding that business people are a very well-read and informed segment of the population, eager to learn about great new books that will inspire and inform them, and help them improve their careers and businesses.

Nearly 400 entries were received in this inaugural year of our contest; the largest categories in terms of participation were Leadership, Entrepreneurship, and Success/Motivation, in that order. The big winners among publishers are Portfolio/Penguin with 5 medals; Wiley with 4; and Free Press and Bloomberg with 3 medals apiece.”

All books are a team project, and the book could not have achieved such success without the collaborative efforts of the editors, graphics artists, production crew, and marketing mavens at Wiley Publishing. We thank them, the many real estate professionals from around the country who contributed material to the State Foreclosure Rules & Regulations appendix, and to our readers, who inspired us to create this book.

Special thanks to Ralph R. Roberts, without whom I would never have considered writing a book about foreclosure investing.

We also congratulate the other winners in our category: Silver Medal Winner Flipping Confidential: The Secrets of Renovating Property for Profit in Any Market, by Kirsten Kemp (Wiley Publishing) and Bronze Medal Recipient Lawyers Are Liars: The Truth About Protecting Our Assets! by Mark J. Kohler (Life’s Plan Publishing).
