I have been involved in the real estate industry as a creative investor for close to 15 years now and I believe that I have a pretty good handle on what works and what does'nt. The authors book on "flipping" properties has a number of strategies that I have implemented in my business and that have worked well.
I "flipped" more than 10 properties in 2002 and have enjoyed the profits from those deals and continue to realize positive gains from the strategies that I have learned in Bronchick's and Dahlstom's book.
I would say that if you are starting in real estate investing or you want to try a new disipline of the real estate market this book gives you a solid foundation to build this type of financing strategy.

Have no second thoughts about this book - Mr. Bronchick makes you understand why Real Estate has made more millionaires than any other business. Flipping is one of the Real Estate niches where you don?t need any money to start and literally you have no risk doing it.
This book is designed to take you simply and quickly through the learning curve. It will teach you Real Estate fundamentals, so you can understand what you are doing. It will teach you how to advertise and locate the deals, how to put them under contract, and finally how to flip them to an investor-rehabber for a nice fee.
It will even give you a basic concept on how to do the rehab work yourself. What?s most amazing to me, is that the book even includes all the contracts you need, which would cost literally thousands of dollars to get an attorney to prepare.
Bottom line, this book is a must for anyone who is involved in Real Estate investing, or just thinking about it. Beginners, now you don?t have anymore excuses to make money - without money!

I have purchased a number of paperbacks on real estate, this being the best value. The hot real estate market has results in a dozens of new books on the shelves, but few with as much practical, useful information as this one. Whether you are interested in flipping properties (legally and ethically) or any other avenue, this book is worth the read. It contains several chapters of good, legal "nuts & bolts" information on real estate transactions - deeds, mortgages, contracts, etc. This type of legal detail is lacking on every other book I read.
Although focused on flipping properties, it also has several other useful chapters related to rehabbing, finding motivated sellers and running your real estate investment as a business.

This book has a wealth of information and is presented in a clear way. Many resouces are included which makes the book very helpful.

I am an experienced real estate broker, and I was looking for a good text to recommend to my beginning investor clients - this is it! The book reads very well, considering the vast amount of technical information about deeds, contracts, escrow, title, etc.
No hype in this book, just practical, ethical information about the "quick turn" real estate business. Some very good sample forms are included in the appendix as well. If you are getting started as an investor, this one should be on your list of MUST-READ books!
