Find It, Buy It, Fix It, Second Edition by Robert
Irwin
Robert Irwin will be a live guest on our show in January. Stay tuned for
exact date. In this era of rising real-estate and building costs, it's natural
that homeowner wannabes are turning to the less expensive (though more
problematic) joys of fixer-uppers. Robert Irwin is a specialist in the area of
improvable real estate, and this book is a terrific primer for those
do-it-yourselfers who want to save money on the house of their dreams (or turn
it around for a tidy profit). Irwin pulls no punches--he starts off with a quiz
to determine what manner of fixer the potential buyer is able to handle; lays
out the issue of money early on, keeping it firmly at the forefront of every
chapter; and includes a horror story or two just to make sure the reader isn't
easily scared off. "Nothing ventured, nothing gained" seems to be his motto,
however, and the venturesome handyperson will learn a lot from this book | | |
