Product Description
Master the art of flipping with KIRSTEN KEMP, host of the hit TV show Property Ladder!

"This book establishes a new standard for real estate authors. Kemp gives her readers delightfully written prose packed with her wealth of experiences. She lays out so many profit-generating (and loss-avoiding) ideas that while reading the manuscript my highlighter never got a rest."
--Gary Eldred, Trump University Professor of Real Estate, coauthor of the bestseller Investing in Real Estate

Real estate isn't just for the rich! And this book proves it. In Flipping Confidential, Kirsten Kemp, the host of TLC's runaway hit show, Property Ladder, gives first-time investors the guidance and inside tips to buy cheap, fix fast, and sell high. With a positive attitude and a healthy dose of humor, Kirsten Kemp walks you through every step of a successful flip--from finding the right house to getting your financing in order, from making big improvements to pricing the home to sell.

If you've ever seen Property Ladder, you know that successfully fixing and flipping a property can be a deeply rewarding experience--both personally and financially--when you do it right. Kemp makes sure you do it right in Flipping Confidential, revealing all the inside knowledge she has amassed as a successful flipper. You'll learn how Kemp became a successful flipper and much more, including how to:
* Get started with little savings or free time
* Find great leads and follow up on them
* Clean up your credit and find financing
* Sign up a great agent, lender, or contractor
* Learn when you can do it yourself, and when to hire a pro
* Keep costs down during renovations
* Set schedules and plan for costs and fees
* Master home staging for higher profits
* Manage mistakes before they become disasters


Real estate is the key to your financial freedom, and flipping is the fastest way to unlock that door. If you want to get out of the office, be your own boss, spend more time with your family, and make a truckload of money in the process, this is the ultimate guide to your new life. The key to financial success isn't a secret, it's Flipping Confidential.

4 out of 5 stars Great for Flipping Beginners   August 23, 2008
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.

5 out of 5 stars If you like her show, you will love her book   April 17, 2008
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.



5 out of 5 stars Good information...Detailed   April 16, 2008
Very detailed and provides good points that a rookie flipper would easily miss. Do recommend.


1 out of 5 stars Few Good Ideas   April 8, 2008
  1 out of 5 found this review helpful

There are few good ideas in this book. Not productive use of your time for the experienced and there are not books much better for the wannabe flipper. The author produces a much better show that she writes a book.
