 A little dull, a little obvious August 31, 2006

I've read another book on flipping (Find It, Fix It, Flip It!: Make Millions in Real Estate--One House at a Time by Michael Corbett), and though that book was slightly gimmicky, at least it was entertaining.
This book is slightly dull, and a lot of the suggestions are sort of obvious. I have not gotten completely through the book- so maybe there is some saving grace in there- however I'm having a hard time picking it up. So far I recommend my previous read more.
 A fount of information. March 20, 2006

The information was def. worthwhile.... it provided some very needed tips. I recommend this book to anyone who is thinking of flipping houses.. but dont stop with this one.. no one source of information is the know all of everything.. look everywhere.. books, seminars, internet..

way too general, and not updated enough for those who are not risk averse gen-xers
 This helped us out a lot! June 3, 2005

My husband (a carpenter) and I were looking to get into buying houses that needed work, rehabbing them, and re-selling them to make a profit. We checked out am armful of books from the public library -- most of them were mainly on buying property to rehab and rent out. This book was just what we were looking for!
It is very helpful on finding the right property, evaluating the property (we used the "property profile sheet" for all the houses we were seriously intererested in); and making and executing a fix-up plan. We got an accepted offer on our first house yesterday, and I am back on Amazon today to buy the book -- I can't renew it anymore from our library!!!
P.S. I'm updating my review after we sold the house -- we bought the house for $68,000 and sold it for $109,000. When you subtract fix-up and closing costs, our net profit was $20,000. Not bad for eight weeks of work! This book helped a lot!
 Too general and basic February 2, 2005

This book is too general and basic for my needs. I don't think I'm that smart, but I didn't need to buy the book to get most of this info. I knew it already. Guess I expected a lot more.
