This book has been a great reading experience. Thanks to the author and the publisher for bringing this book to life.

I have worked with commercial and residential real estate for 25 years and had to learn about these land investing mistakes as I went so that I could counsel customers on what the problem was and how to fix it. This is the first time that I have come across a guide to the most egregious mess-ups and do so in a manner that was easy to understand, presented in a compelling (and sometimes humorous) fashion. Anyone who is interested in investing in real estate of any sort should read this book before laying so much as a dollar on the table. This book teaches potential investors what to look for and points them in the direction of how to get the mistakes corrected if they still want to proceed down the path of purchasing the property. The beginner real estate investor truly needs to buy this book to make sure they have the knowledge of how, and yes, the patience to deal with these problems. I applaud the author for writing this book. I like that it is more technical than a For Dummies book, but presented in a manner that is still easy for newbies to understand. Even if you aren't considering investing in land right now, or if you just want to know about how far land title issues can go south, you definitely need this book. You'll get both the "how the heck did it get this messed up" and the "Ah ha! This is how you fix the problem" all in one book. I would even ventures so far as to say that anyone dealing with real estate should grab a copy of this book just for the sake of having it to show others what not to do with their real estate! It's a quick read, but it is a read that anyone who owns, plans to own, invests in, or plans on investing in real estate needs to read. Readers will know what to watch out for when it comes to their own property and new investors will know what pitfalls to watch out for before it costs them a lot of money to fix.
