Few people will be faced with a house falling off its foundation or down a hill in a mudslide but those are possibilities; no matter how small. The list of issues in the book are things that could happen when you own a house. Life doesn't always go as planned and when dealing with real estate our desire is for a beautiful worry free home. Unfortunately, Murphy's Law can be just around the corner. A non-fiction writer, Pamela Flynt Knight shares her expertise in home ownership and investing in 100+ Things That Can Go Wrong, to help you avoid mistakes and to be prepared for what can happen. She has learned through a lifetime of experiences that there are things in our lives that come unexpectedly. These do not follow our plans and can rarely be found in the budget. If you are thinking about or have considered investing in real estate, for personal or professional reasons, this is a book you want to examine prior to your decision. It can help keep you from being blindsided. Hopefully you will be encouraged to budget for the unexpected. When it comes to real estate, some successful investors will encourage you to take the plunge into flipping or renting properties. Their intentions can be motivated by their desire to sell books, conference sessions or personal mentorships. They don't usually let you know about the unsuccessful ones who have experienced foreclosures or financial hardships and slipped away into some dark corner. Make sure you can afford what you invest in order to make a wise decision.
