New Investor - Which Book is Best?

Sean Keegan
Posted

I just finished the beginners guide and moving to a more house flip focused book.  Between the two J Scott books (Estimating Rehab Costs and Book on Flipping Houses), can anyone recommend which is better to start with?

The Book on Flipping Houses is better for where you are at. Getting book lists from everyone will just create more things for you to choose from. Read The Book on Flipping Houses and just ignore how much anything costs because that is all market-specific, but the process is very good in there. For new buyers, I think Set for Life by @Scott Trench is very good as well.
