This review is from: The 90 Second Lawyer Guide to Buying Real Estate (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in buying real estate. It tells all the legal details and your rights that most books do not. It tells you how to back out of a deal, how to deal with encroachments and so forth. A definite need for anyone buying, selling or just interested.
