Bailout Riches! How Everyday Investors Can Make a Fortune Buying Bad Loans for Pennies on the Dollar, by Bill Bartmann

"I`ll tell you exactly where I was when I decided to write this book: I was on
my exercise bike, watching the news about the $700 billion government bailout
bill that had just passed…By the 3rd step, I could recite out loud each step
before the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury did. How could I possibly know
what he was going to say before he said it? Because I had seen this movie
before, and I know the ending… I make a billion dollars."Bailout Riches! Author
Bill Bartmann (from the first chapter)
HOBOKEN, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
Bill Bartmann, the "Billionaire Business Coach" is sharing information on the
lucrative business of buying bad debt with everyday citizen investors, and
teaching his ten steps to the money-making cycle in his new book BAILOUT
RICHES!: How Everyday Investors Can Make a Fortune Buying Bad Loans for Pennies
on the Dollar (Wiley, June 2009, hardcover price: $24.95, ISBN:
978-0-470-47825-7).

Most people think the $700 billion U.S. government bailout is the solution to a
brand-new crisis. But a similar event occurred in the 1980's, on a smaller
scale. During that banking crisis, Bill Bartmann went from being bankrupt to a
self-made billionaire by investing in assets the government was liquidating. And
he didn`t use any of his money. With a million dollars in debt, he borrowed
$13,000 to buy bad loans…and the rest is history. Commercial Financial Services
(CFS) developed into a $3.5 billion company with over 3500 employees and had
made its name on its ability to buy delinquent credit card accounts for pennies
on the dollar, and then produce nickels, dimes and quarters - an ability the
firm eventually took to Wall Street. This time around, the opportunity is even
bigger!

In the book, Bartmann walks readers, step-by-step, through the process of buying
opportunities with 100 percent financing.Everyone is looking at the same news
coming out of Washington, but only a few people are seeing what it means in
terms of financial opportunities.Bartmann shows how to interpret the information
in order to recognize the up side, and to know how to turn bad loans into
financial gains.

According to Bartmann, "It`s not the `big boys` of the financial industry who
stand to profit.It`s the small and nimble investor," and the book outlines
everything one needs to know to be successful from finding good deals and
approaching your local bank to collection strategies and how to review a loan
portfolio.
