Hello,

My name is Carlos and I am a new member. I am a Real Estate Agent in the Palm Beach county Florida area. I got my license a year ago and will like to start investing in the real estate market. Flipping houses and buy and hold. Can someone recommend a good book to learn about flipping? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey @Carlos Rubio welcome to BP!

Yep, @Steve Vaughanis absolutely right, @J Scott wrote an excellent book on flipping and another one on estimating rehab costs.  You can find them here:

Since you're an agent, @Brandon Turner wrote a whole guide for agents who want to work with investors.  It's a great read:

A few tips to get you started:

Start here. You'll get a wealth of REI knowledge and learn how to take full advantage of Bigger Pockets (including how to connect with other South Florida investors).
