How to Make Nothing But Money: Discovering Your Hidden Opportunities for Wealth

Dave del Dotto. Simon & Schuster, $19.45 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-671-63858-0

Clear planning plus persistence can take you ``all the way to your ultimate dream of financial independence,'' according to TV financial guru Del Dotto in this fact-packed guide to often-bypassed roads to riches. His strategy is to buy distress-priced goods at police or postal auctions, foreclosure sales, etc. (a $100,000 airplane, perhaps, for $15,000), then resell for a substantial profit and invest the proceeds in real estate. Almost round-the-clock detail work seems to be involved--attending auctions, arranging storage, finding buyers, obtaining credit and so on, but Del Dotto, citing case histories, tells with bubbling confidence how to go about it. An appendix lists federal information sources and provides sample transaction forms. Author tour. (Dec.)
