Great Information and Overview, 2009-12-23
I found this book to be of great value. Although experience is the only perfect teacher, this book gives you the knowledge to make a good plan before you start flipping, and a great guide for following up that plan. The book can also help you buy a home if you plan on fixing it up. By giving you the tools to locate and value improvements that need to be made, you can locate great deals when buying any home.

A Truly Effective Model, 2009-12-05
This book is a rarity in that it offers any level of investor a proven model and system to use that will work! It isn't a "look at me and see how special I am, book," as most of these are. It is a tried and true method to purchase a home for investment, to have a system in place to fix, repair or improve it, then re-sell it for profit. Rick Villani is a craftsman. He enjoys the work, and it shows! He and Clay Davis have put an awesome book together for anyone in the residential home investment business. These guys are still at it, doing what they preach. They continue to find, fix, and sell houses for profit. If you are serious about doing the same, buy, study, and model their book!

Great Book on how to make $ Flipping homes, 2009-11-29
Outstanding book on how to make money flipping homes. I have been a broker for over 20 years in Illinois & know most if not all of the pitfalls on flipping homes in just about any kind of market. I have flipped homes for profit & can tell you its not easy unless you have some kind of guide or you are just plain lucky. I have known seasoned investors who make serious mistakes buying homes to flip & run out of money because they didn't do their homework in advance. This book is a diamond in the rough when it comes to real estate books. I highly recommend it prior to contacting a real estate professional.

I dont think you will go wrong with this book, 2009-10-14
I thought this book was very informative and flows very nicely from beginning to end.

The authors offer many suggestions on what to look for or what to do as far as finding, choosing, and flipping a house.

They go through the entire process from beginning to end following a flow chart that they have created. Sure most of it is common sense, but it is all layed out here for you in a way that can help prevent you from missing a step which of course could cost you allot of money in the long run.

Definitely one of the better books I have read on flipping houses, it may not be the best book out there , but it is the best I have read.
