FIrst class book for investing in auctions. - Rated
I found this book as a basic one for buying property in auctions. I found this is the basic for build a strategy and a business plan. No doubt you cannot start to invest in auctions without this book. One of the best so far I read, you can avoid gross mistakes and you can save thousands in auctions and avoiding pitfalls. One of the most interesting list is the list of auctioneers as well as the details of organizing a business plan before the auction, have ready the bank in your side, the valuation, the project and the survey, read it, it is fantastic, you cannot ask really more for the price.

Essential for people with an interest in property - Rated
If you are a person, like me, with an interest in all aspects of property and potential investment in property, then this book is an essential reference point. The buying of property via the auction system instead of the traditional method of via an estate agent has become not only popular but it can be incredibly profitable. I have managed to pick up two properties this way, and for both I used Howard Goodie's book as a reference point.

It handles all the things (and pitfalls) you need to know in this potential minefield and Goodie helps to warn you off the possible "tricks of the trade" that prevail in this world. The book is written in an open and well set out style and Goodie does indeed seem to know his stuff.

Highly reccomended, particularly as there's really not much published on this subject.

If you are considering, toying with the idea of buying at auction you MUST HAVE THIS BOOK IT IS THE ONLY ONE YOU NEED. The book covers all subjects in depth without blinding the reader with too much information, from how the auctioneer portrays himself at auction to the financial side to completing the sale.
I was only toying with the idea a few weeks ago and now am on my to making the dream come true!!!
