good content
you can easily buy this book and not be disappointed. it covers in a practical way how to fix up a house and increase the value by more than it will cost you to fix it up.
Real estate however, just like investing in stocks, requires a lot of experience to learn the tricks of the trade. This book helps you at least to not fall in a couple of pitfalls; it's not a tool that can help you overcome your lack of practical experience.

Too much jargon
This book did indeed have too much jargon in it. In parts of the book the writer tap into something good, but not go into enough detail for it to make sense. I read another book like this one that gave me insight into what this book was talking about. It is also outdated. The 203 HUD investment is not available anymore.

running the numbers?
The rehabber needs to know if the potential profits from a property exceed that of other investment opportunities and whether profits from selling immediately or renting short and long term are stronger. These basic but absolutely essential calculations are given less space here than considerations about whether to replace kitchen sinks and remove aluminum awnings. The latter don't really matter without a basic financial analysis. The book avoids gimmicks, however, and gives sound advice, but without arming you with the real economic tools you'll need.
