Real estate investors involved in home flipping now have a new guide to their endeavors with the release of a book entitled “Flipping Houses for Dummies.” This is no ordinary book because the brains behind it is a seasoned real estate professional who knows the ins and outs of property flipping and who desire to share his insights and tips with people interested in honing their skills or in venturing into real estate investment.
About the book
“Flipping Houses for Dummies” authored by Ralph Roberts and Joe Kraynak is an honest-to-goodness and straightforward book geared towards real estate investors who wish to profit huge sums of money from buying homes in a low market, doing cosmetic repairs and reselling them quickly.
Roberts, in his blog www.ralphroberts.com, said that his book does not tell that just about anybody can easily flip homes without the risks because of the fact that home flipping is actually not an easy thing to do. “Flipping Homes For Dummies” he pointed out has a different approach compared to other books on home flipping in that it exposes all the risks and rewards involved in property flipping to enable interested people to assess their capabilities and financial resources. Additionally, the book offers expert information on the steps to take before venturing into this project and what blunders to avoid.
Flipping Homes For Dummies tackles the vital aspects of home flipping from searching for the right properties to flip, projecting profits, obtaining financing, getting buyers, working with contractors and real estate agents and strategies in avoiding common mistakes. It shares both successful and unsuccessful stories of flipping projects and provides before-and-after photos to enable readers and interested realtors to visualize the positive changes made in flipped homes.
The authors
The main man behind this book is a very successful real estate professional himself. Ralph R. Robert is a veteran in house flipping with more than 30 years of experience and who has been profiled by the Associated Press, CNN and Time Magazine. He has authored several successful books prior to Flipping Homes For Dummies like “Sell It Yourself: Sell Your Home Faster and for More Money Without Using a Broker,” “Walk Like a Giant, Sell Like a Madman,” “52 Weeks of Sales Success” and “Real Wealth by Investing in Real Estate.”
Joe Kraynak, on the other hand, is a freelance writer who has authored and co-authored more than 50 books on a wide variety of topics. He first showed his talent for translating complex topics into practical advice when he did the For Dummies series, Bipolar Disorder For Dummies with Dr. Candida. In Flipping Homes For Dummies, he worked with Roberts to give people the best possible guide to property flipping the right way.
Rave reviews
The book has, so far, received positive reviews from various sectors because of its unique approach to home flipping. The Economist, in its March 2007 comment, said “it promised to teach potential property moguls the right way to lay the foundation for successful flipping and bring home bucks.”
Other realtors who have read the book say Flipping Homes For Dummies is fantastic as all information on every aspect of home flipping is easy to comprehend. They also expressed their gratefulness for Roberts for coming out with this new and very helpful book that can truly guide them in their home flipping projects.
