With new insights on getting access to financing and estimating fix-up costs, Irwin also shows buyers how to use the resources of the Internet to locate fixer-upper properties.
This is a one-stop guide for anyone considering the possibility of buying or investing in houses, apartments, and commercial properties that need work. Money-making and money-saving advice includes:
*where to find the best fixer-uppers
