5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, highly informative book on residential rehab., March 14, 1999
This review is from: Profits in Buying and Renovating Homes (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic renovation guide, January 24, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Profits in Buying and Renovating Homes (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of information for little money!, December 31, 2001
This review is from: Profits in Buying and Renovating Homes (Paperback)
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!

I'm not sure what some of these readers are smoking but this book has to be about 10-15 years out of date. In it's day I'm sure it was well worth the money but time to upgrade!
