Product Description
"This book is designed for realty investors who want to profit from buying below market, making cosmetic improvements to add value, and then quickly reselling. But real estate agents and home buyers should also study it because of the valuable insights offered by a longtime, very successful real estate broker. On my scale of one to 10, this superb book rates an off-the-chart 12."
-Robert Bruss
You've probably seen TV shows like Flip This House and Flip That House, in which Real estate investors buy, renovate, and sell a house in a matter of weeks for tens of thousands of dollars in profit. They make flipping houses look so easy that you want to jump out of your recliner (during the next commercial, of course), run down the street, find a house for sale, flip it for a 50 percent profit, and run back home to continue watching the show.
I, Ralph Roberts, have flipped hundreds of houses, and it's never as easy as it looks on TV. People don't generally line up at your front door begging you to buy their house for 30-50 percent below market value. Renovation expenses always exceed estimates. And you can't always sell a house for what you think it's worth.
Flipping houses for a profit requires time, money, and what I like to call sticktoitism-dogged determination in the face of overwhelming uncertainty.
Not just another house flipping book
You can find plenty of books about flipping houses that claim "anyone can do it" and make flipping look easy and risk-free. Flipping Houses For Dummies takes a different approach-honesty. We don't claim that flipping houses is "easy" or "simple" or "risk-free," because, quite frankly, it isn't.
Flipping Houses For Dummies reveals the risks and rewards of flipping properties; helps you determine whether you have the time, energy, cash, and other resources to be successful; and then conveys the expert knowledge that those who wish to pursue house flipping nee

Ralph Roberts has done it again. Fantastic book with tons of content. I get hundreds of people who ask about building wealth through flipping homes. I now hand them this book and watch them grow their wealth. Great advice, especially regarding creating a formula for evaluating homes and then developing a system to execute the fix and flip. This will reduce errors and expedite turnover. Unsold inventory is the killer of all fix-and-flip businesses. This book gives you the recipe for success.

I read this book after getting caught up in the TV frenzy of house flipping. I soon realized that I do not have the time required to put into house flipping for now. There is a lot of other good advice in this book that will better prepare for flipping(or not in my case). Very worthy purchase.

I bought this book for my boyfriend, who knows/knew nothing about flipping, but has a strong interest in learning about the business. He raved about the book! Said it was easy to read and that he learned a lot, he is now on to reading a more advanced book on the topic.

This book was worth the money! It’s easy to read, makes sense and was obviously written by someone who has had experience in flipping houses.
It makes it clear that it isn’t an easy money job but one that takes takes a lot of study and research to be successful at. Joe Baranska, Apopka, Fl
