Renovating a less-expensive older house can cost considerably less than purchasing a newer house with a higher price tag, and sellers of renovated homes often find that they can recoup several times their investment. Depending on the economic climate and location of the houses, both buyers and sellers can reap large personal and financial benefits from either renovating a house on their own or engaging professional contractors to do the work. Whether you are already living in the home to be renovated or you are contemplating the purchase of a handyman's special, this book can be an invaluable resource.
