Comprehensive Guide on fix and flips

I’ve read (or listened) to probably 15 books on flips and/ or rehabbing houses and this is the most in depth one I’ve read. I’ve been a fan of bigger pickets and have listened to a couple of the podcasts Jay has been on and recommend giving those a listen if you doubt the benefits this book will have on your real estate investing career. Wonderful read and I’d recommend it to anyone in this sector.

Good on the details

First off, thank you for making this available on Audible. This book takes you into some of the everyday workings of buy, renovate and selling a property. I say some, only because it takes doing to truly understand all aspects of the project. Even though it is the book on flipping houses, it is applicable to buy, renovate and hold (rent.)

Great actionable content

Great insight provided by an extremely experienced author! I was surprised at the audio narration misses though. Many instances of repeated lines by the narrator.

J did a nice job providing real and useful information rather than just guru motivation like some real estate books out there

good information

there was good order to the book. I am considering flipping houses. This book gave me a real perspective on work involved, time, and money.

Paul M

This book was an excellent review of what is entailed to be successful in flipping properties. I would recommend it to anyone thinking about flipping houses and for those who flip houses. For those who currently flip, you are sure to find some golden nuggets you can apply to your flips.

Great “How To” Book

This book was recommended by Brandon from BiggerPockets and was WELL worth the read. I listened to it on Audiobook but ordered a paper copy so I could read and HiLite and write notes. It’s that good and full of useful information.

Enjoyable and encouraging.

I found myself going back through past chapters and re-listening to them along with writing down notes. I would recommend this book to people who are interested in getting into the game. I am probably going to be getting the paperback version of this book just so that i can go back through. There are a lot of good lessons that are in this book. The way the book is read out loud is a bit difficult understand at times due to the book being written in many small chapters.

Good information

very good information in this book. i plan on using it in the near future to flip my first house

Beautifully narration

As I listened to this audiobook I could visualize what the author was explaining. this book is very thorough. another favorite to the collection. I just finished it and I already want to hear it again

Sheds much light on the business of flipping homes

Loved the details of a flip from start to finish. I have a rental property and wanted to get onto the business of flipping property to build cash to buy more rentals for passive income. This book takes you thru a deal from start to finish. Very detailed.
