5.0 out of 5 stars What this book did for me, August 2, 2000
This review is from: Robert Irwin's Power Tips for Buying a House for Less (Paperback)
I just wanted to take a minute to write my opinion for Robert Irwin's Power Tips for Buying a House for Less. I found the book informative and helpful. As I pursued in the American dream (to own my own house) I was impressed with how much easier it became, by using this book. Much of the difficult "technicalities" were smoothed out. And the entire process began to make sense. Using this book as a guide, saved me money, and time. I recommend it to anyone who is considering buying a home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very well organized, August 11, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Robert Irwin's Power Tips for Buying a House for Less (Paperback)
I'm the type of buyer who will do LOT's of research before I make a decision (to make sure that my decision is correct). I have a pretty good selection of 'How To' books, as this is my first house purchase, however the one book that had the most answers to my questions was this one. I highly recommend it (5 out of 5 stars obviously), and have already loaned it to my brother who will be buying a house next year.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not much help for 1st time home buyers, July 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Robert Irwin's Power Tips for Buying a House for Less (Paperback)
There are 53 so called power tips for buying low in any market. Many of the tips are not suited for ordinary folks. Chapters such as "Buy sight Unseen", "Look for Fixer-uppers" "Look for Foreclosure and REOs" are aimed at seasoned RE investors. Even for the seasoned investors, they are not very helpful since the content is simplified without details. Home buyers are better off without these "power tips"
