Breaking Into The REO Business: How I Went From Bankruptcy To $7.2 Million In 7 Years While Making Friends
Tony Alvarez is a true insider in the inner REO circles, starting out as a Certified General Appraiser in the early 80's, but he soon discovered the perfect way to invest in real estate.  He worked as an in-house appraiser for Great Western and Glendale Federal Bank, is approved by most federal and state government agencies, such as the RTC (Resolution Trust Corporation), FDIC, FHA and hundreds of insurance companies.  Over the years, Tony has bought, rehabbed, sold, rented and managed hundreds of properties; and he's still doing it today with only one full-time assistant out of the same ugly little office in Palmdale, California. Besides buying, holding and flipping real estate in the Southern California real estate market, Tony also teaches seminars and works as a consultant and mentor.
