BiggerPockets

I've read it. It has some great outlines and makes formulas very simplistic. It is a little on the vague side as far as leaving out calculations for NOI, ROI, etc, but it does tell you all you need to know from a broad perspective. I believe you can gain a lot from reading it and definitely have direction to begin.

I finished this book at few months ago and wanted to touch on a few things.

This was my first " flip" book I have ever read so there isn't anything for me to benchmark it to. I thought it was great! It started off with a very motivational background which certainly pulls your interest in.

The find it chapter was extremely helpful it came up with good techniques and it told you how to put together your " team" .

The Fix it part also had great insider tips, different styles, ways to maximize profit.

The flip it part was a little vague, there was good detail in closing a contract but it seemed to be lacking a few things and just touched over other more important parts.

I'd definately recommend the book it does a great overall background in flipping from start to finish. A lot of good insider tips that will help the process go smooth.

I agree the renovations are lavish. But you have to realize the book was written during the market boom. So it was almost impossible to price yourself out of a market that was appreciating at +40% rate.

You have to look at the bigger picture in the book to get the most out of it.

I took at look at his new book today, forget what its called. But it looked like it was strictly about how to sell/stage a home. I think it also touched on the slower market the majority of us are facing. I didn't bother picking it up just yet.

I just picked up the book. It looks like a good book.
