Diary of a Real Estate Rookie: My Year of Flipping, Selling, and Rebuilding - And What I learned

"Diary of a Real Estate Rookie" chronicles a former real estate journalist's wily adventures, from a gutsy attempt at starting a real estate business with only US $16,000 to the (eventual) taste of sweet success. Along the way, the author drolly relates her escapades, among them an attempt to flip abandoned shells in Newark and the rental of a Greenwich Village apartment to a famous movie star. Quirky and informative, Rookie offers real estate and financial advice in tandem with tales of suburban real estate agents, manicured New York trophy wives, and innocent ripe-for-the-plucking first-time buyers
