Book Suggestions

[Benjamin Kelley]

I was wondering if you guys have come across any good books about "Sweat Equity". Actually doing the rehab yourself instead of contracting everything out. I realize that sometimes you need a licensced professional to do work. But there are plents of things that can be done yourself. Is there a book you use for doing the actual work yourself? A book that has information on installing floors, dry wall, installing cabinets, granite, carpet, type of tools I need, what materials I need for the job, and anything else. Is there an all in one book of this type? Or do I need to buy them seperate? Or am I out of luck? Thanks for your time.

Yes, it's called "How to Make $10/Hour Investing In Real Estate While Swinging a Hammer and Pushing a Paint Brush Around."

And I highly recommend you NOT read it, but instead get a copy and give it to your licensed contractor.
