4 out of 5 stars not bad   April 29, 2007
  10 out of 15 found this review helpful

As a lifelong carpenter and now contractor, I wanted to know what I could flip a house for. For someone without any idea what to look for or what to do when they find a house, this is a good overview. Having designed houses in the past, and my wife being a designer, this wasn't anything brilliant. We hoping for more specific dollar amounts, e.g. granite countertops average 2k, return 4k. That would have been helpful, but alas, nothing like that.


5 out of 5 stars Real Advice From a Real Investor   March 20, 2007

With the red hot real estate market many people became obsessed with flippping homes. Anyone could have made money in the last several years. Times are changing and it is extremely important to increase your knowledge and learn from experienced investors like Ralph Roberts. Learn from their mistakes, profit from their advice. Don't be one of those people who overpay for a property or make the wrong choices when trying to flip a home.
Use this book as a reference manual, keep it with you and study it.
I have personally flipped several homes and with the tips and advice from "Flipping Homes For Dummies" I realize where I could have made better decisions to have helped increase my profits.

For one new to the real estate market, Flipping Houses... by Ralph and Joe provided me with a comprehensive overview of all the important things worth considering. These two guys know how to explain, provide examples, and guide. It's a terrific book, and not just for dummies :)

This book was more of a pointer. The direction tell you to do something but not how to do it. Example, use other peoples money to invest. Not impressed.
