Has anyone read, "The Book on Flipping Houses"
I am curious if anyone has read, "The Book on Flipping Houses" by J. Scott. If you have, was the info helpful and would you recommend the book? I am considering buying it but i wanted to make sure it was a good informative read. Also, are there any other books that are a must read? I am new to this and have not set the REI wheels in motion quite yet. I would like to get as much info as i can before I take the jump. My whole entire life, I have had the gift of learning from other peoples mistakes and limiting making mistakes myself.

Yes, the book is very helpful. I have just recently finished it and if you plan to flip or use the BRRR strategy then you should pick up the book. It provides a well designed approach to evaluating deals and developing a scope of work. It is well worth the time and money.
