Hey everyone, i just finished "the book on flipping houses" its an amazing book! I'm looking for a second book and I've com across a lot of motivational/get rich quick stuff that seems pointless to me.    I will be joining my professional flipping friend on some flips soon so i just want to be more knowledgeable, not motivated.

Jay Great book by the way!

thanks all

After that book you might be disappointed in most of the rest of the books out there, I know I have been. If you grasp all of the concepts in Jay's book then you might move on to more 'meaty' type of books. Topics might include:

Real Estate Finance (gonna need money for the flips)

Building Code (specific to your area, it will be your bible for flips)

Interior design/decorating (unless you have someone to pick color palettes for you)

I have found that a majority of books out there are written to be motivational and aimed at a wide audience (to sell more books). Finding books that are truly educational can be tough. I'm sure BPrs can make some specific suggestions.

Staying excited and motivated is the name of the game, if you have that the rest will come! Good luck!
