Product Description

FLIP, the third book in the National Bestselling Millionaire Real Estate Series (More than 500,000 copies sold!) FLIP provides a detailed, step-by-step process to analyze each investment, identify the best improvements, accurately estimate the costs and intelligently oversee the construction. It takes out all the guess work and almost all of the risk. Here's what industry experts are saying about FLIP:

"Read this book before you flip that house! FLIP is an indispensable step-by-step guide to flipping houses that you will refer to again and again."-Carlos Ortiz, Executive Producer, "FLIP That House" (TLC's most popular real estate TV show)

"At HomeVestors, we're in the business of buying and selling homes for profit and I can attest that there are few, if any, who can rival Rick's and Clay's expertise when it comes to fixing up houses for profit. This book is a must-read for any investor."-Dr. John Hayes, President and CEO of HomeVestors of America (the largest homebuyer in America)

"FLIP is a must-read book for everyone in the real estate business. Every agent should have this book. They should read it and master its contents. Why? Because it is the best guide ever written on how to evaluate real estate and how to add value to a house."-Gary Keller, Founder and Chairman of the Board of Keller Williams Realty International and author of bestselling The Millionaire Real Estate Agent and The Millionaire Real Estate Investor

"For anyone looking to build wealth in real estate, FLIP provides a step-by-step approach that really works in any market."-Loral Langemeier, bestselling author of The Millionaire Maker

FLIP extends the national bestselling Millionaire Real Estate series with a step-by-step guide that is quickly becoming "the model" for successfully finding, fixing and selling investment properties for profit. Based on their involvement in over a 1,000 flips, Rick Villani and Clay Davis walk you through the proven five-stage model for successfully flipping a house: FIND: How to select ideal neighborhoods, attract sellers, and find houses with investment potential; ANALYZE: Identify which improvements to make and analyze the profit potential of any house; BUY: How to arrange financing, present the offer, and close on the purchase; FIX: A 50-step, easy-to-follow plan for fixing up houses that keeps you on time, in budget and assures top quality; SELL: How to add finishing touches to quickly sell for maximum profit. Woven through the book is an entertaining narrative that follows the flipping adventures of Samantha, Ed, Bill, Nancy, Amy and Mitch as they find, buy, fix and sell their first investment houses. With all this plus the experience of over a thousand flips condensed into one book, FLIP gives new investors the tools they need to avoid common pitfalls, make a profit, and enjoy the process of house flipping. Rick Villani and Clay Davis are senior executives at HomeFixers, North America's leading real estate rehab franchise. HomeFixers has been involved in more than 1,000 flips nationwide.

5 out of 5 stars Great Information and Overview   December 23, 2009
Matthew Beckerdite (Los Angeles, CA)
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.


5 out of 5 stars A Truly Effective Model   December 5, 2009

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!


5 out of 5 stars Great Book on how to make $ Flipping homes   November 29, 2009

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.


5 out of 5 stars Must have for Flipping   October 24, 2009

This book is very detailed and brings up some great points about flipping houses. Some stuff I didn't consider was mentioned in this book. I highly recommend it.


5 out of 5 stars I dont think you will go wrong with this book   October 14, 2009

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.
