First Five Flips: How to work from home flipping houses, and actually make money With sub-titles like "Dead Bodies Don't Sell Houses" and "Invasion of the Mini-Shrimp," Zak Ekim walks us through his journey of flipping his first five homes with humor and insight. First Five Flips is perfect for the person who desires to start flipping houses as a means of making money from home or even for those who have already started flipping homes. What Zak learned, and the focus of this book, is how to make money when you do a flip, and how to avoid losing it. You will see real-life examples of each and exactly how they were done. This book is a great tool for beginning flippers as well as those with more experience. If you even get one point from the book that makes you money or keeps you from losing it, then this book was a good investment for you. Zak describes how he got started, provides insight into what made some of those big money deals, and what made others a bust. Some of the more successful deals paid out much more than what was initially expected. Zak will discuss what critical decisions made those such profitable projects. He will discuss some of the approaches that enabled him to find large sums of money in projects others had walked right past. He will also candidly discuss the decisions he made that caused other projects to go belly-up. Zak will discuss what you can do to avoid making those same mistakes as well. He will discuss broad approaches that will help you to make money as well as how to avoid those money pits. This entertaining story is actually filled with real-life experiences that you don't tend to see in many of the "how-to" real estate books. In most how-to books on flipping, you will learn the techniques for how to do a house flip. The author assumes you have been reading those books to learn the techniques of buying and selling homes, and renovations. I think a lot of people think, "Buy low, fix-up, sell high, - pretty simple!" In essence it is that, but a lot can happen along the way! Just like many endeavors, flipping houses has some principals that if not followed can have serious consequences too. That is the why this book was written. So that you can have a safer, more profitable business. You will think of mistakes on almost every project but First Five Flips can help you avoid some of the more costly ones and find more deals that will put money in your pocket. "There are concepts that are CRITICAL to know and to follow to make money in this business. Ignoring these principals will cost you a lot, and I mean a lot, of money!" We wanted this to be an entertaining book but also informative. So that the information wouldn't get lost in the story we have sprinkled throughout the story "Money Points." These are short paragraphs that encapsulate the part of the story that is important to making money or minimizing losses. Sometimes those are additional thoughts as well. Most of the people in our lives who are familiar with our story can't believe the things that have happened to us, on nearly every flip. If you are able to benefit from even one of our experiences, then there was a value to buying this book. I believe for most people starting out in this endeavor, there will be a number of things you will be able to take out of our story. I believe the story of our first five attempts at flipping properties will put money in your pocket, and will help you to not get into situations that will run your bank account dry. We will explore some of the common mistakes people make, easy traps to fall into and offer solutions one can employ to avoid getting in those situations to begin with.
