USFN.org Foreclosure Desk Guide
Anybody have an opinion of the www.USFN.org's Foreclosure Desk Guide for $38.00? Is this something you find a good resource?

Why are they asking 38.00? check to see if it is really a gov. website, or if its just being said as one.

If you click on their site you will find a link that lists the table of contents. This manual is from the other side of the table viewpoint, that of the mortgage lender/ reposessing party.
If you are interested in foreclosure as it relates to short sales you would be better served to study it from the investors side.
I think that there is no such thing as useless knowledge and at $38 your not going to go broke.
IF I had a friend that was a mortgage broker etc. I would ask to borrow it.
I would also look at www.half.com
I'm kind of wondering the same thing. In Tom Lucier's book How to Make Money Buying Pre-foreclosure Properties Before They Hit The County Courthouse Steps he recommends it as a being a up-to-date, state-by-state reference that people in the loss-mitigation and foreclosure services to the mortgage industry use. But he doesn't go into too much detail as to the purpose.
I'm thinking you are correct that it would be seeing the business from the other side, which isn't all too bad of an idea. I've already read most of their trade articles, which gave me a better understanding of what the otherside of the table is thinking.
Some of their articles topics are on working with realtors, and what to include in your contracts and counter offers to investors like us in order to sell their REOs. It is almost like being a fly on the wall at one of their private meetings.
I agree, understanding how the other side of the table thinks should make it easier to structure deal(s) they find acceptable. Somone said keep your freinds close and your "enemies" closer
