| flipping houses business plan: Fixing and Flipping Real Estate Marty Boardman, 2014-03-01 Let’s face it—fixing and flipping houses is sexy. Who doesn’t love the idea of buying a rundown, mold-infested shack and transforming it into someone’s dream home for massive profits? Reality TV shows make it look so easy. A little paint here, some new kitchen cabinets there, and presto! The house is sold for big bucks and everyone lives happily ever after. If only it were that simple. Fixing and flipping houses is a business. In order for a business to survive, prosper, and grow, systems must be put in place. Fixing and Flipping Real Estate: Strategies for the Post-Boom Era is a book that breaks down the four essential components of a fix-and-flip business, giving you the building blocks to efficiently buy and sell 1 to 20 properties a month in today’s post-boom era housing market.

It’s also a good bet in states as diverse as North Carolina and Washington State.

| flipping houses business plan: The Mom Test Rob Fitzpatrick, 2013-10-09 The Mom Test is a quick, practical guide that will save you time, money, and heartbreak. They say you shouldn't ask your mom whether your business is a good idea, because she loves you and will lie to you. This is technically true, but it misses the point. You shouldn't ask anyone if your business is a good idea. It's a bad question and everyone will lie to you at least a little . As a matter of fact, it's not their responsibility to tell you the truth. It's your responsibility to find it and it's worth doing right . Talking to customers is one of the foundational skills of both Customer Development and Lean Startup. We all know we're supposed to do it, but nobody seems willing to admit that it's easy to screw up and hard to do right.

This book contains informative, actionable tips based on Mark Ferguson's experience in flipping over 200 houses. A Note From the Author I have written a number of books on real estate, and even a fiction book about buying a house for the first time. In those books, I go to great lengths and into great detail to explain everything I can. This book is completely different. I wrote this book to give people quick tips that they can easily reference over and over. You don't have to search through hundreds of pages of text to find one simple concept. That said, if you want to read hundreds of pages and detailed information about real estate, please check out my other books. I felt I was qualified to write this book since I have flipped over 200 houses and counting. I flipped 26 houses last year. I love the business, and I love finding deals. Getting started can be stressful and tough, but once you learn the business, it is tough to ever stop. Not only is it fun, but it is exciting! We are always learning something new, even after 17 years in the business. I have a lot of experience, but I still don't know everything...and never will. This book is self explanatory. I provide 101 tips for flipping houses and expand on each tip. I chose the most important tips I could to help people be successful in this business. About the Author Mark Ferguson is a highly successful entrepreneur, real estate investor, author, and family man. Mark is living proof that positive thinking can propel you to incredible levels of success. He has achieved much of his financial success through real estate. |

| flipping houses business plan: The White Coat Investor James M. Dahle, 2014-01 Written by a practicing emergency physician, The White Coat Investor is a high-yield manual that specifically deals with the financial issues facing medical students, residents, physicians, dentists, and similar high-income professionals.

Straight talk and clear explanations allow the book to be easily digested by a novice to the subject matter yet the book also contains advanced concepts specific to physicians you won't find in other financial books.

| flipping houses business plan: Property Investment for Beginners Rob Dix, 2013-04-18 Updated for 2015! The recession is over, house prices are heading steadily upwards again, and you're convinced that property could be your key to financial freedom. And it could. But where do you start? Do you invest near where you live, or wherever yields are best? Do you rent to families, or professionals, or students? Should you be trawling through Rightmove or lurking at property auctions? This short book covers the big questions you should be asking yourself before you so much as glance at an estate agent's window. It contains a jargon-free explanation of basic investment principles, summaries of the major post-crunch investment strategies, and advice on developing a mindset that will support your long-term success. The book also includes a curated further reading list of recommended books, magazines, forums, blogs and podcasts to help you confidently take your next steps in your property investment journey. You'll learn... How to pick an investment strategy that matches your skills and goals The only three calculations you need to know to size up any deal An overview of every major investment approach, from the most safe and boring to the probably-not-a-good-idea-but-here-you-go-anyway How to (safely and sustainably) stretch a limited pot of cash to build whatever size portfolio you want ...although you will need to endure some pretty shocking jokes along the way. Sorry about that. Praise for Property Investment For Beginners... The book is very easy to read and the explanations are very clear, with some good humour to boot! With a good set of references and online links, this book is a must for anyone interested in property investment. - P Cowley A property investment book that keeps it simple. I really enjoyed it, and will use it as my main point of reference. Unlike most of the other books, the reader doesn't have to endure the rags to riches rubbish and the inevitable sales pitch for further training. - Nesser I stumbled across this book randomly on Amazon and I'm so pleased I did - it has given me an excellent overview of what it is to invest in property and has really helped me to focus on my specific goals. It has also opened my eyes to a world of useful tools and contacts which I may never have found without it. Other books may have been able to do this but I'm not sure they would've been so enjoyable to read. If you are thinking of investing in property, or perhaps already are but want to take it further, this is a must read book. - whatkatythinks When you buy this book, you are not only getting a property wizard, you are also getting a warm-hearted guy. In his book, Rob mentions several times that you can contact him via email and he'll try to help you out. And HE DID! I tentatively emailed him with some questions and he replied right away! Of course, I know he's probably not able to do this for everybody, but even if he just replied to one question, he has proven that he's genuine and kind. And what he replied me with is thoughtful, honest and probably saved me a fortune in the end. Totally worth every penny.
