That is a real good take on the things around us. Talking about reality shows, they are farthest of things from reality. Every thing in these shows are their ways to keep the viewers occupied on the couches. I know many out there who believe in these shows, well, even when I was a kid I really thought Superman. Well, grow up people, how long we will let ourselves be fooled by things around us. The web of lies should be taken in their most absurd sense and entertainment value. They are in no way close to reality. You see I am an agent listed with resortscape.com ( http://www.resortscape.com/default.aspx?ct=r&q=&utm_medium=linktous&utm_source=PT ). Many a times I get sellers coming with their utopian notion of things. But then it becomes my job to help them out. So through your post, the only thing I want to say to your readers is that “don't be always ready to believe whatever that is shown, especially in the TV.”

Very nice article. I love how to flip a house. This article just gave me more insight on how to get into the business. Thank you.

Nice article… right on the money regarding those home flipping shows. I laugh when I have newbie real estate investors tell me how much money they think the average flipper makes (usually after watching these shows.) Remember, TV shows get ad bucks and ratings for their “sensationalism”, not for portraying the “boring reality” of things. And especially in this market, I’d be suspect of doing any flip that didn’t have a extended profit reserve built in to account for built up inventories in the housing market.
