User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars If you like her show, you will love her book
As a potential house flippers, we watch Property Ladder like addicts. When I saw that Kirsten had a book, I immediately bought it.
Tons of experience = sound advice. It makes you think about one’s decision to jumping into a house flip if you are not prepared, funded, or skilled.
It reads as easy as Kirsten sounds on her show. I recommend it to anyone considering “getting rich quick” by flipping real estate.
4 Stars Good but for beginners only
FC is not particularly in-depth but it’s a good primer for anyone considering making the move into flipping. It’s certainly better than most of the other books I’ve read on the subject. Good but for beginners only.
4 Stars Pleased with the attention
The delivery was on time and the book was in great shape.I was kept up to date throughout the whole process andwill buy again.
5 Stars Flipping Confidential
This is a very concise book and to the point tells you what you need to know, and how to set things in to action a step by step account of what you need to do where to get financial help, and what not to do
4 Stars Great for Flipping Beginners
Before reading Kirsten Kemp’s Flipping Confidential, everything I knew about flipping I learned on TV. Thankfully, I didn’t run out and buy property based on that exposure alone.
In Flippng Confidential, Kemp lays out the process of finding and flipping homes in a well-organized, no-nonsense manner.
While I found the book to be a good primer on the subject, there’s only so much you can say in one book and it is lacking specifics in many areas. If you’ve never read any books on the subject, start with this book first. If you still want to flip after reading, expect that you have to go elsewhere for more in-depth information.
