Editorial Reviews

Review

Bob Bone provides rural relocaters with the ingredients needed to make informed real estate purchases. He offers sound advice on where to relocate; tips on shrewdly purchasing homes, ranches, farms or country businesses, how to master the ins and outs of buying bare land; how exchanges can delay paying capital gains taxes; and discusses water rights. -- Newsmaker Interviews, August 1994

For any and everyone interested in considering moving to rural America, and those serving the market in any manner, Discover the Good Life is a must reading. -- Martin J. Darity, Governor's Liaison, Alabama Advantage for Retirees

This guide to purchasing rural real estate is unparalleled and urban dwellers who dream of country homes will want to place this high on their acquisition list. Included here are details on buying bare versus developed land, arranging for financing, understanding water rights and rural road maintenance, and other questions city dwellers never consider. -- Bookwatch, September 1994

From the Publisher

Publisher Marilyn Ross with Communication Creativity We published this book for one reason: city dwellers desperately need guidance when buying property in Small Town, USA. While "cashing out to the country" sounds exciting, many pitfalls await the unwary.

Author Bob Bone is the perfect person to address this subject. He is a veteran real estate man who has personally bought and sold rural real estate for over 40 years. Now you can access his insider secrets.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a waste of time for homesteaders!, August 23, 1998
This review is from: Discover the Good Life in Rural America: The City Slicker's Guide to Buying Country Real Estate Without Losing Your Shirt (Paperback)
This a small, simple book. Engagingly written, it hardly merits the price. Have a look at "How to Find Your Ideal Country Home: Ruralize Your Dreams" -- spend a little more money and get some useful information. This is the first book I ever returned.
