Flipping Houses in Ten Days, Ch 3
Expected Air Date: 5/13/19
Opening:We are back to the book today - my upcoming book, “Flipping Houses in Ten Days.” You won’t be flipping a house in just ten days, but it’s ten short chapters. You read one chapter a day for ten days. If you listen to this show regularly you will eventually get the entire book in audio form and here’s a NOT secret for you - if you have the Flipping America app, which is completely free, you will eventually have the entire book. Why am I doing this? It’s all about giving value and providing content. Besides - I’ll need the audio version of the book, so we will have that ready to go in a month or two. Yeah, it’s about efficiency and all that. Today I’m going to read Chapter 3, Analyzing a Deal.
You need the skills to analyze any deal or opportunity that comes your way. And as you progress as a business owner you’ll need to translate those analytical skills to different opportunities. We won’t get to that translation step in this chapter but I will tell you every step in analyzing a deal, coming up

- Anthony, Alexandria, VA, “Just came across your show. Really cool. Do you ever buy properties in other cities? I want rentals, but everything is too expensive here. What should I look for?”
- Dorothy, Villages of Ocala, “I like real estate. I’m a retired realtor. I like the house flipping shows and I listen to your show and enjoy it. I don’t want to do all this, but I’d like some income from it. My retirement account is in the stock market and it’s too stressful for me. I’m thinking about putting some of it into real estate. What could I do with maybe $100,000?
