About the Author
Endnotes

If you watch TV, home improvement shows rank at the top, and they always conclude with a happy ending. But they never show the entire process that goes into flipping homes.

Although flipping presents unlimited possibilities for huge profits now and into the future, the flipper must be fluent in the entire process — from initially researching the market through the intricacies of completing the final sale. This book addresses all the necessary steps to make you successful.

Dr. Afa Pitts, with her extensive background in medicine, knows how to pay attention to detail. She presents in-depth instructions in a proven educational approach, using the alphabet to arrange chapters in a way that can be fun, easily absorbed and retained. Just remember your ABCs.

This book is an absolute necessity for anyone interested in flipping houses and even those who are interested in purchasing flipped homes. This is where you need to start. I highly recommend it.
