Complete Guide to Buying Property in Florida
This book I found seemed to concentrate more on advertisements than getting the point across. Out of 188 pages of text more than 70 pages are advertisment features, for Realtors or Lawyers.These adverts are interspurced in the text and leads to making the reading disjointed and frustrating. I was dissappointed with the book, in that it left me confused as it did not explain things in great detail as I was lead to believe. It has left me searching Amazon further to try and find something which will get to the 'nitty gritty' of the purchasing process, and not leave me frustrated when I turn the page to find yet another Advertisement feature.
