Protect yourself from your own inexperience,
By A Customer
This review is from: Finding and Buying Your Place in the Country (Finding & Buying Your Place in the Country) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent source for people who are looking to buy country property. Having lived all my life in a suburban area I was completely unaware of how many things I needed to keep in mind when examining country property. Next time I see a "great deal" I will know enough to ask if the property has had a percolation test, are there public utilities and if there is a deeded easement. Basic things, I know, but ones I was uninformed about. The price of this book might have saved me from making a very costly mistake!
