Review:
back to basics
This book is an excellent guide for do-it-yourselfers who basically want to start from scratch and build a cost effective house. The author gives plenty of practical cost saving tips throughout the process. I didn't give it 5 stars because I was expecting more insight into the financial structures and more about developing multiple sites as opposed to building your own home and selling it a few years later. This book is easy to read and understand, Chris Condon goes into detail with practical tips and this book is worth a read...at a basic hands on level. Great for speculation builders or for penny pinchers doing their own homes. I have come away with valuable tips after reading the book....its value for money.
Review:
Excellent, inspiring book
I was interested in learning more about building new houses for profit, so I went looking for a book that focused on just that. Enter "Building Real Estate Riches," which is a user's manual for value engineering methods that can save big bucks on a build.
For example, Condon lists certain types of houses that, by their very nature, are more affordable to build than others. Same amount of square-footage, same value on the market as other types of houses -- but through efficient material usage, they cost less. And there are dozens and dozens of other ideas -- from using alternate materials, to changing room sizes, to doing certain aspects of the work yourself, that will result in a bigger profit when it comes time to sell your house. You wouldn't want to incorporate all of his ideas -- and he's the first to tell you that -- but many can be worked in without compromising the value of the house. Condon's extensive experience as a builder is obvious.
Even if you plan on hiring a general contractor to build a home for you, this book shows methods you can use to participate in the build -- and save. The book concentrates on very specific things that can be done to save money while still producing a top-notch, mareketable home. Links to Internet supplements are also provided. You'll need Microsoft Power Point to be able to view them.
Upon completion of "Building Real Estate Riches," I read its companion book, "Some Assembly Required," also by Chris Condon. Both can be read in a couple of days, and as far as I'm concerned, are required reading for any newbie (like myself) who plans on building a home -- whether you plan on selling it after a couple of years or not.
