Len DeWeerdt Shows How to Avoid Mistakes in Real Estate in Playful Memoir & Self-Help Guide Book, Why I Buy Real Estate Instead of Golfing, Published by Outskirts Press
Canandaigua, NY, November 22, 2009 --(PR.com)-- In this humorous new book written for anyone involved in real estate, Why I Buy Real Estate Instead of Golfing, A Memoir of What Not to Do in Real Estate, published by self-publishing company Outskirts Press, Len DeWeerdt makes light of his memorable “goofs” in selecting, owning and selling properties over the last three decades. Beyond the chronicled mistakes, the author provides his readers with a valuable reference guide of “useful” tips and “golden” rules for avoiding real estate catastrophes.
An active home owner and real estate investor for over 30 years, Len shares his own disasters and pitfalls so that his readers can learn from them and not have to go through the same school of hard knocks. His book relates one amusing anecdote after another from his long experience with a wide variety of people, places and predicaments in the often difficult world of real estate.
From his story about the pot smoking, bearded young man in the lotus position who Len discovers in a bedroom closet of his new tenant to his tale of the horrible odors from a nearby food processing plant which suddenly wafts through the window just months after purchasing the new family home, Len keeps his readers entertained while teaching valuable lessons about real estate buying, owning and selling.
Why I Buy Real Estate Instead of Golfing covers the pitfalls involved in selecting and owning residential, commercial and vacation properties and goes over in detail a variety of dangerous and expensive situations that the real estate investor needs to be looking for before buying. Len points out all the little things one is likely to overlook in a property, such as headlights shining into a bedroom with every car that passes by, overly friendly neighbors, or lake shore property wash ups of deer carcasses, dead fish and drowned animals.
While the book contains an entertaining collection of the funny and memorable real estate predicaments, it also covers a variety of ways for buyers and investors to avoid them. The table of contents itself acts as a handy, quick reference guide for almost any unpleasant property situation one can imagine, regardless of the reader’s experience in real estate.
ISBN: 978-1-4327-4437-3 Format: 5 x 8 paperback SRP: $14.95
Genre: Business and Economics/Real Estate
About the author:
Len DeWeerdt attributes the basis of his book to his growing up in the “trusting” 1950’s in a small central New York state village. Although he recognizes that “trust” in real estate is an oxymoron, he is still buying after some dozen real estate transactions. Despite this fact, Len has been happily married for thirty-five years, has three great kids and four fabulous grandchildren.
