Summary: Nobody wants to buy an ugly, decrepit, rundown house--which is exactly why they provide real estate investors with the best bargains! In 'Investing in Fixer-Uppers', nationally known real estate guru Jay DeCima reveals how investors can add thousands of dollars to the value of an "ugly" house". The bestselling guide for beginner real estate investors is back, and better than ever--with more than 40% new material to help you find--and profit from--new opportunities in today's market. When the first edition of the bestselling 'Investing in Fixer-Uppers' came out in 2003, browsing newspaper classified ads was the best way to search for fixer-uppers.
