5 Stars Review
Flip is a Great step by step way to rehab houses in the real world. Everything is there. The R.E. Gurus could learn from this book!
5 Stars Great book!
This is the best book on the subject that I have read. Unlike other books on the same subject, this book actually shows you how to do it. I highly recommend this book to anyone thinking of entering the business. It is a must have.
5 Stars A Must Have Resource!
I am reviewing this book as someone who has flipped a few properties over the last several years. I have had (3) minor successes and (1) big flop, learing various lessons along the way. I found this book to be a comprehensive and enlightining read! I wish I had this book years ago (I believe I would have done much better). The authors have covered every area of the flip including the pitfalls that turn a flip into a flop! There are several things that make this book a must have resource: the detailed step-by-step construction plan (doing projects out of order can kill your margin), the book also provides a comprehensive cost analysis (including several things that most investors miss). These numbers are presented in an an easy to compute formula that, in the end, tell you exactly what to offer for the propery on the front-end of the deal. This is truly a must have book if you are interested in flipping!
5 Stars Ready, Set, Flip
I actually borrowed this book from the library and decided to buy it because I wanted to highlight and circle different parts for easy reference. Definitely a good buy and comes w/ great spreadsheets and checklists when looking through possible flips.
Happy Flipping!
5 Stars Simply Wonderful!
I’m just getting started in the FLIPping business, but I know one thing for sure: this is one of the very best books I’ve ever read, on any subject. The text is extremely clear, with very specific examples, tables & charts, and even online tools. It’s head and shoulders above any of the other books I’ve read on the subject.
I’m a retired physician, so trust me…I’m a doctor! LOL!
