 Thank you, I will look into a mentor for sure!


 I agree with James, but J Scott has some good flipping books you can read while getting flips done.

    Hey Jacquan, awesome idea to get into flipping. As a realtor you are in a unique position to provide tons of value to people who are already flipping out there and I would recommend using that to get a mentor. Go to meetups, get acquainted with the people you want to become and just be a sponge. Work with them. Reach out. Find them deals. List their properties. Check their projects for them while they're out of town. Run to the village hall for them when they're busy. Just start doing it. Get your foot in the door. This will be way more helpful than reading any books. most flipping knowledge is just common sense. You learn the knowledge by doing the things, not reading about them.

    Hello,

    I am a real estate Broker who is also looking into house flipping. I was wondering if anyone got a recommendation for beginners book on this topic.

    Thank you!


     reading a book on flipping is like reading a book on how to hit a golf ball. All great in theory but not going to really learn anything unless you get out there and do it.
