 This book should be required reading for new investors April 21, 2007
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I have been involved with Real Estate investing for over 20 years. I wish this book was around when I first started. It would have accelerated my understanding of the flipping process & made me a lot more money by staying disciplined. The strength of the book is the logical, well thought out format focusing on systems and structure that breaks down the "anatomy" of a Flip.
The book really addresses the fundamentals of a succesful flip & the proper mindset need to be a successful "unemotional" investor.
Rick & Clay have done a terriffic job in uncovering the mystery of understanding the rehab process.
Their success is obviously due to their focus on developing clear predicable models to deliver results.

If you have NEVER flipped a house, this would be or you. They deal with a lot of surface material. They give you options on the different ways of accomplishing a task, but anyone with half a brain could figure it ou. I would recommend this book to someone "thinking" about flipping, but not anyone who has done it. The book lacks in REAL content. It's too easy of a read, nothing complicated, nothing new, all just common sense.
From a guy who does 50 flips a year - "best book on the market" April 15, 2007
30 out of 31 found this review helpful
I recently read the book from cover to cover and was highly impressed - it is without question the new "bible" on flipping houses, and the authors addressed each concern a flipper might have with aplomb; direct, honest, unbiased, etc. I "flip" about 4-6 houses a month, and I found the topics covered to be very valuable. One piece of advice for the follow up that would be helpful - advice to flippers of how to deal with the "seasoned title" issue where underwriters for mortgage companies used by the flip buyers to fund the deals can get spooked about short title seasoning.

I t isn't often I'm overly critical about the books I read, especially books on real estate. I found this particular book very boring for the 1st half of the book. It became more interesting half way through, however I think the author appealed to readers who know little about how to fix up and flip houses. The software that could be ordered separately was helpful and has many good features but in my opinion very basic. Would I recommend this book to experienced real estate investors....no
Excellent Read April 8, 2007

I thought that "FLIP" was an excellent book. The information contained in it's pages is priceless. I am a Realtor in California and I found the systems and models that are used in the process to be very good. For those who are not in the Real Estate industry but want to invest in Real Estate by flipping homes this book is a must read. It will show you what the most common failings are and help you avoid them. This book will set you way ahead of the curve. To Realtors out there I would recommend that you give this book as a gift to any friends or clients that are thinking of flipping homes. The book is very easy to understand and is very well written. Definitely a winner!
