I'm in the real estate business and have worked with people who thought they wanted to get into the flipping business. I read this book from cover to cover and then used the website referenced within. This book gives very concise, easy to understand, steps for every stage of flipping. There's so much more to it than just buying a house and fixing it up. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone considering this as an investment or hobby.
Made the mistake of spending $2K to go to a Scott Yancey three day workshop where I could have just purchased this book and learned how to flip from A - Z. I am 3/4 of the way through the book and they provide a step by step process from where to find the property, how to approach the seller, estimating repair costs, making the offer, etc. I recommend this book to read, re read and take notes.
