Thanks Josh and Tom…great interview.
Thanks for the comments, guys. I’m glad you all found the interview to be valuable.
Tom you are the man!!! Nice work
Good Investing
Thanks for the support you guys, the reason I share so much is seeing others benefit from it. Its great doing what you love and surrounding yourself with like minded people, what a great place Josh has set up here for us all the hang out: )
Thanks Tom! BiggerPockets is a pretty incredible resource . . . thanks for being a part of it.
Enjoyed the video – great hearing tips from a master rehabber – good reminder to remember that the neighbors are important – it’s easy to get caught up in comps and only comps – thanks again!
Thanks Tom and Josh Great Interview and good info.
I’ll be one to attest that Tom has taken the time to exchange a few emails with me and is most gracious sharing his knowledge.
I have been following his blog for a while and he was one of the persons that inspired me and gave me the confidence to give house flipping a try. I am now on House #7 and loving it!
The kind of rehabbing that I have learned from Tom is not the “paint and carpet” kind but the one about being proud of what you do and that if that house is going to have your name on it, it will be done right.
It’a amazing what can be learned through this site and blogs like Tom’s. Without these resources I would have never even dared to give this business a try…keep up the great work.
Great interview. I am doing my first 2 deals, both are in exactly the areas Tom mentioned, close to the city, changing demos in n’hood. these 1950′s atomic ranch style homes. Half way completed and numbers are looking good, but still have that pit in the stomach. Feel much better are seeing this interview.
Great info Tom, thank you so much!! I myself am a wholesaler and I am working my way to the rehabber side of the business. I love to know how my Investors think and what EXACTLY they are looking for in a deal!! Great info thank you so much again!!!
