A good example of a TV guru, how he bought a property below market value and instantly made $40,000.

Over here no-one would work like hell when they could live on handouts and have a nice apartment, a big-screen tv, cellphone, and laptop courtesy of the ignorant taxpayers (myself included)!

My parents have always been interested in real estate and architecture, when I was younger they used to drag me along with them to go tour new neighborhoods, look at new houses being built or old houses being renovated, and on the weekends the TV was on HGTV or other programs showing real estate for sale.

its funny how regional the answers are.. but right now and I know this is an old thread.. but right now new construction is far better than fixers.. for this reason.1. everybody and their brother is chasing fixers.. and prices are high margins thin 2. there is extreme liquidity in the fix and flip mortgage market.in our markets that I work mainly  building new homes is far easier less competitive and more profitable.. and way more predictable  @J Scott  wondering if you have pivoted into new construction in a bigger way or still working flips.So for land there is much less liquidity for lenders doing new construction so all the late night TV folks and or smaller beginners are not going to find it easy to get a TRUE construction loan.. were as a beginner can usually get a flip loan no problem.. its loosening a little but lenders for new construction are not taking on new beginners or very limited experience generally speakingI like the fact that there are far less surprises you have a plan.. you have bids you have a budget and we pretty much hit the numbers most times.. way less surprises.. and the absolute game changer is the sub base is far and away more qualified and professional than working with low end rehab contractors that are so frustrating.. as well as under capitalized cant buy their own materials have no credit etc etc..  

I constantly get asked, "When are you and Carol going to get your own real estate TV show?!?!"
