This book contains all the basics--the things you need to know if you own a home. It's user-friendly--you don't need to be an experienced do-it-yourselfer. For more details on home repairs and maintenance, you will also want a copy of the book "About the House with Henri de Marne." But the books complement each other well--both should be in every home.

The introduction is a great primer on household toxins that affect us all, and includes references.  Everyone should read it!

Most of the book is geared to what to insist on when building a home, but it gives important insights if you're buying a home or wanting to make yours more healthy.  Very good section on wiring errors (and how to explain to the electrician what you want), although some of the explanations of how electro-magnetic fields should be understood are slightly inaccurate.  Unfortunately, not much about how to mitigate microwave signals, which is perhaps the biggest problem a lot of people will face.  Still I wish I'd read this book years ago!

This is a great intro to flipping houses. It's written clearly and shows the process from start to finish. It's a perfect read for getting your feet under you as you start investing, and a nice baseline for further reading.

Heidi Farrelly has written an easy-to-read, informative book that all homeowners should read.  Every 1st time Homeowner will find invaluable ways of saving money to pay off their mortgage faster. For a more experienced homeowner like me, it was a way to make sure I was doing everything I could to cut down my mortgage and save a lot of money.  Highly recommend this book!

This is the right book for first-time home buyers and for those who have been out of the real estate market for a long time.  Well written, easy to understand, and filled with information that will make the process easier and less frightening.  And I enjoyed the read!

This real estate book is perfect for the new investor. It gives you tips on what to watch for when buying property so that you do not burned with someone else's fail. Location(people like shopping area and schools w parks nearby), price per square foot(more property priced right). It gives you ideas on what publications are good to follow and where to get the best results when buying. It starts off with your investor analysis to determine what your top points are when investing. It makes a lot of good points and one that stuck out to me was "the house can burn or be destroyed but make sure the property remains favorable, you can always rebuild." It gives plenty of examples as well as number crunching as well as the necessary celebrity examples. This book does not substitute for professional question, but it does give you an eye opening. *book was provided for review purposes.*

Bought this book for an engineer friend who recently moved into his first house (after many years of apartment living). The writing style makes it geek-friendly, and provides a way to ease into home maintenance - definitely not a full guide, more an intro and demystification for those who've never had to think about caring for a home before.

Once again, Home Depot's "how to" books are must haves for homeowners.  I'm going to be using this one this summer for sure!

I bought a copy for my son, when he bought his first house.  Maintenance on a home can devastate your budget very quickly.  This book almost didn't make it to my son -- I enjoyed thumbing through it so much, I plan to order a copy for myself!  With basic mechanical skills, this book can show you how to make repairs yourself, and that will save you a lot of money.  Good explanations, good, illustrative diagrams.  Highly recommended.  Cheers!

This book is loaded with info for the first time buyer. I am on my third home and still find many good tips in here. Included is a CD-ROM loaded with all the forms that may help in your home buying experience as well. You can download these to your PC and print them out. Helpful charts, checklists etc;. All the tips and pointers in here relate to every home buying obstacle you may encounter. Highly recommended , especially in these economic times.....for ANY first timer. Warning to First Timers: Stay away from short sales!
