Donna Bauer
Donna Bauer is the nation's most recognized authority on note buying and the booming pre-foreclosure market. Donna's exclusive short sale strategies have produced stunning results, time after time, in all areas of the country. But Donna goes beyond short sales and teaches you how to buy the defaulted note from the bank. Without question, buying the note is always the superior strategy. When you buy the note, you become the bank, which means you make all the rules. Once you learn how to buy the note, you will be able to close those "impossible" deals that other investors walk away from. Don't let common short sale obstacles kill your deals. Buy the note instead.

But it wasn't always this way, you see my Real estate Career began back in 1993 after purchasing a home study course by one of the top "Guru's" in the country on how to invest in real estate with no money down. And I, unlike so many other people who buy courses and then stick them on the shelf, actually watched those tapes and read the manual. And Guess what... it worked. I bought my first piece of investment real estate for $30,000 with $0 money down.
