Real Property Flippers

I would like to get information on the real players in the game. Usually these guys are too busy making cash they dont have the time to be a "GURU" but some are accessible or have a book that may not be mainstream. A prime example is San Antonio local investor Mitch Stephen. Since I started flipping in San Antonio in 2003, I have heard the stories of Mitch and Sam (from title companies, other investors, and the local association) flipping over a thousand houses in a span of 4-5 years. Recently he came out with a book (My Life and 1000 Houses) and its safe to say this guy is a machine (I bought the book from his local office as B&N doesnt carry). I would like to discover more REAL investors that MAY or MAY not be mainstream GURUs. So does anybody know of any local legends that have REAL invaluable flip experience that they have published? Or, Are there any mainstream books written by REAL DEAL flippers I might have missed. A mainstream example would be FRANK MCKINNEY (his book explains how he started with 30K houses and now flips Floridas highest priced 30,40,50mill homes.

Jaime,

An ebook written by BP's own Nick Johnson really opened my eyes and was the final factor in me finally getting off the fence. It's very well written and offers several great ideas that I would've never thought of. It has changed my life in many ways.

DISCLOSURE: I have not and will not be paid for any of these comments on Nick's ebook. I simply wish to give credit where credit it due.
