This book is EXCELLENT. The authors style of writing keeps you engaged and wanting to read more and more, awesome writing skills, love this book! It's an incredible wealth of knowledge. It walks you through every aspect, every single step, from thinking about flipping, to deciding to, farming areas, marketing, using an agent to search, buying, doing the repairs yourself vs using a general contractor or General Contractor, or subbing the work out yourself, inspections, loans, financing, escrow, oh my goodness, I could go on and on. While I've technically never flipped a property in a few months time, I have bought two fixers in my lifetime, most recently my primary home, the property I just sold. And the author couldn't be more right on hiring the right contractors. With the RE market making a nose dive, I'm preparing to start my new rehab venture. I may buy one for a rental and just go from there but this book made me very excited to get the process started and even though I've actually done this before (to some extent) this book had tons and tons of priceless information that I didn't know. I have so many bookmarks in my book it's ridiculous. I didn't want to...

I've read quite a few books by real estate investors who flip houses. Quite a few really GOOD ones. But in my opinion this one is the absolute BEST. J Scott does an EXCELLENT job at leaving no stones unturned and pretty much holds your hand all the way through the process from start to finish. I love his attention to details while still making the steps very simple to comprehend. Great job!

Step by step instructions. I read everything I could find, joined a REI group locally, and a web-based organization nationally, and still I find that this one book tells me more usable information, in an easily digestible fashion than anything else I've seen. I have to wonder what motivates someone to "write it all down" for that's a terrifically challenging task, but J has done it. The best thing about this book is not the gems to be found inside--truly, most of his ideas are to be found elsewhere, and that's to be expected because they are correct--but that the work is so systematically presented that (even) my wife understands it. REI investors know that convincing the family to go along with "this hare-brained scheme" is probably the actually hardest part of the endeavor, at least at the beginning. J does a masterful job of writing in such easy to follow language that this one book is what my darling wife refers to every time she has a question about flipping. Ever hear the line, "An expert is a guy with a briefcase from out of town."? Think of it that way. All of the book is valuable as it stands and having all of the information in a book you can hand to...

I have a library of real estate books and this is the book I constantly go back to and re-read when I feel like I've lost my way. I have just about every book on Amazon regarding the subject and this one really has the best information. I also bought the companion book called "The Book on Estimating Rehabs" and it is the perfect book to figure out how to not only estimate the scope of work but gives you great insight on what you should be paying for contractors and products. I also keep up with J Scott's flips on his website. He is a real house flipper and not someone that gives you his theories on the subject. He tells you the good and the bad but gives sound advice on how to make sure each deal is a winner. If you are in the Rental business this book doesn't really cover the Buy and Rent strategies. There will be times in your flipping process where you might lose money but I've been successful in turning those into Rental properties to make my money back and then hold for long term growth and a small monthly income on Rent. The best book I have read on that issue is Buy it, Rent it, Profit by Bryan M. Chavis. I suggest getting all 3 books so you...
