3.0 out of 5 stars
good basic book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Century 21 Guide to Buying a Second Home: For Vacation, Retirement, Investment and More! (Paperback)
This is a good book particularly for first time buyers. About half the information is devoted to general real estate matters, and half specifically to second homes in particular. More specific information about specific problems and advantages in certain areas would help (what to look for in beachfront property, mountain property, etc.). Competent but not the only resource you'll want to read.

Pretty dry but covers some of the basics,
By A Customer
This review is from: Century 21 Guide to Buying a Second Home: For Vacation, Retirement, Investment and More! (Paperback)
This little book covers a lot of the basics, but I was hoping to actually see more examples of second homes. Not a pretty book but, as I said, it gives basic information. Just wasn't what I was looking for. I know a lot of home buying and shopping basics, and a lot of it is common sense. I wanted something a little more inspiring.

This review is from: Century 21 Guide to Buying a Second Home: For Vacation, Retirement, Investment and More! (Paperback)
There was more basic information about real estate in general, than in second homes in particular. As most people considering a second home have already been through the buying,selling, or building a few times they know most of this stuff through experience. But I understand Tiger Woods works on the fundamentals routinely, so an evening going over the basics didn't hurt.
