Abstract

Although inexperienced in real estate, Edward Alexander hopes in June 2013 that youthful enthusiasm and $240,000 in savings and inheritance will help him enter the real estate business. His experience chronicles the process of finding, evaluating, and acquiring a four-unit brownstone in need of renovation in the Beacon Hill area of Boston. The case also identifies the various players in the process. A rewritten version of an earlier case.
