This book was the best Real Estate book I have ever read! Yes, it is geared towards people would want to do the work themselves. But even if you wanted to hire contractors to complete the work, you could learn the ins and outs of what the job would take to finish under budget and looking great. There was a section on steam heaters, most people would think that section would be a waste of time. I found it very interesting considering there is not much written on that subject. It sure would come in handy in an old house that others past by because there was a problem with a steam heater and they figured it would require a complete new heater. I loved his straight foward approach, not a get rich quick info-merical! The best part of the book was all the before and after pictures, most authors just tell you how great a project can turn out, this author shows you! I plan to re-read it again to ensure I got EVER tip and idea inside. Forget the rest and buy the best.
Excellent book

This book is well written and obviously spoken from someone who has done it. As a remodeler myself this book hit it all on the mark. Ignore the no down payment and other get rich crap. If you have the skills, time, smarts and fortitude this book will show you the low down.
Fantastic renovation guide

Dworin is a clear, engaging writer. He presents the pros and cons of this business honestly. I read this large book in a few days and was eager to go out and start rehab-ing straight away. I would recommend this book for 1) anyone thinking of doing this as a business, 2) anyone contemplating remodeling their own home, or 3) anyone thinking of buying a home.
A lot of information for little money!

You know those ... get rich real estate books, videos and CDs that end up only giving you basic common sense information that you already knew (Like the last 45 minute video I watched the spent the whole time telling you to clean up the house before the potential buyer comes over. THIS BOOK IS NOT ONE OF THEM. This book is filled with tons of real, experienced info that you don't already know from common sense. 2 thumbs up!

This book provides an excellent guide to the kind of choices one has to make to be successful at buying, rehabbing and reselling homes. It's practical and realistic, and contains both general theory and strategy guidance as well as very specific, useful rehabbing tips. I have been doing this kind of work for 3 years myself and wish I had read this earlier to save me from some mistakes.
