101 House Flipping Tips is an awesome quick-reference guide for anyone who flips or has considered flipping. This book contains informative, actionable tips based on Mark Ferguson's experience in flipping over 200 houses. A Note From the Author I have written a number of books on real estate, and even a fiction book about buying a house for the first time. In those books, I go to great lengths and into great detail to explain everything I can. This book is completely different. I wrote this book to give people quick tips that they can easily reference over and over. You don't have to search through hundreds of pages of text to find one simple concept. That said, if you want to read hundreds of pages and detailed information about real estate, please check out my other books. I felt I was qualified to write this book since I have flipped over 200 houses and counting. I flipped 26 houses last year. I love the business, and I love finding deals. Getting started can be stressful and tough, but once you learn the business, it is tough to ever stop. Not only is it fun, but it is exciting! We are always learning something new, even after 17 years in the business. I have a lot of experience, but I still don't know everything...and never will. This book is self explanatory. I provide 101 tips for flipping houses and expand on each tip. I chose the most important tips I could to help people be successful in this business. About the Author Mark Ferguson is a highly successful entrepreneur, real estate investor, author, and family man. Mark is living proof that positive thinking can propel you to incredible levels of success. He has achieved much of his financial success through real estate.
