good content

you can easily buy this book and not be disappointed. it covers in a practical way how to fix up a house and increase the value by more than it will cost you to fix it up.Real estate however, just like investing in stocks, requires a lot of experience to learn the tricks of the trade. This book helps you at least to not fall in a couple of pitfalls; it's not a tool that can help you overcome your lack of practical experience.

Ahh, not an ad for some seminar or product!

I just began my research into this potentially profitable undertaking. This is the first book on the subject I have read. I did skim others in the store and found that many were geared towards selling some kind of seminar or product. Kevin seems to tell it like it is. He isn't trying to sell anything. His book is very much to-the-point and practical, not just useless theory. He even includes many forms, checklists, etc., and he gets into the real "nuts and bolts" of the process. I feel like I have a pretty well rounded introduction to the subject, including really practical information that would lead me through all of the steps I would have to take to get started.

Chock full of valuable details

I've had this book since it was first published and have referred it to others dozens of times, as well as using it in class as an instruction tool. I've never found a more complete reference text for working with fixers. Great job, Sandy!

Finally, some real substance on Real Estate-Rehab

How refreshing to read an author who is so obviousely a professional on the subject of Real Estate Rehab and who approaches the subject in a business like manner. This book contains quality guidance based on knowledge that could only come from hands on experience in rehabing real estate. Unlike most of the books I've read on this subject, which contain 9 parts fluff (bull) and one part substance, this book is all substance! Though the book's academic approach may not tittalate enough for some, the serious investor and rehaber will find it's instruction meaninful, educational and profitable. Well done Ms. Brassfield
