Master the art of flipping with KIRSTEN KEMP, host of the hit TV show Property Ladder!

"This book establishes a new standard for real estate authors. Kemp gives her readers delightfully written prose packed with her wealth of experiences. She lays out so many profit-generating (and loss-avoiding) ideas that while reading the manuscript my highlighter never got a rest."
Gary Eldred, Trump University Professor of Real Estate, coauthor of the bestseller Investing in Real Estate

Real estate isn't just for the rich! And this book proves it. In Flipping Confidential, Kirsten Kemp, the host of TLC's runaway hit show, Property Ladder, gives first-time investors the guidance and inside tips to buy cheap, fix fast, and sell high. With a positive attitude and a healthy dose of humor, Kirsten Kemp walks you through every step of a successful flip--from finding the right house to getting your financing in order, from making big improvements to pricing the home to sell.

If you've ever seen Property Ladder, you know that successfully fixing and flipping a property can be a deeply rewarding experience--both personally and financially--when you do it right. Kemp makes sure you do it right in Flipping Confidential, revealing all the inside knowledge she has amassed as a successful flipper. You'll learn how Kemp became a successful flipper and much more, including how to:

  • Get started with little savings or free time
  • Find great leads and follow up on them
  • Clean up your credit and find financing
  • Sign up a great agent, lender, or contractor
  • Learn when you can do it yourself, and when to hire a pro
  • Keep costs down during renovations
  • Set schedules and plan for costs and fees
  • Master home staging for higher profits
  • Manage mistakes before they become disasters

Real estate is the key to your financial freedom, and flipping is the fastest way to unlock that door. If you want to get out of the office, be your own boss, spend more time with your family, and make a truckload of money in the process, this is the ultimate guide to your new life. The key to financial success isn't a secret, it's Flipping Confidential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on Flipping from the Host of Property Ladder, April 15, 2007
This review is from: Flipping Confidential: The Secrets of Renovating Property for Profit In Any Market (Paperback)
If you like shows about Flipping Houses-- this book is for you. Kemp goes well beyond what the tv show gives the reader and actually gives you the essentials to how to get started in flipping properties for profit. The book has a great personality as Kemp shares her own experiences in fixing up properties and sellng them for a profit. Throughout the book there are tips that are critical to being successful in real estate investsing, including: "You make Your money on the buy", as well as how to assemble a cracker team, and how to find properties.
If you are interested in learning more about Flipping, this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish she'd written it years ago, July 10, 2007
This review is from: Flipping Confidential: The Secrets of Renovating Property for Profit In Any Market (Paperback)
A friend recommended this book and I am so glad he did. I am a fan of Kirsten's show, Property Ladder, but I always wondered how much of an "expert" she really is ("reality" TV and all). After reading this book, I have a newfound respect for the show AND its host. I've been interested in real estate for a while, but every book I pick up on the subject is beyond boring and doesn't give you any REAL numbers or information. This book is refreshingly different. It's not only packed with useful information, but the author includes so many personal examples and anecdotes, I couldn't put it down. Kirsten walks you through every phase of a "flip," without talking down to experts or making it unattainable for novices. I'm sure it's hard to write a real estate book that is relevant to "flippers" of all levels of experience, but there is definitely something here for everyone. Read it, laugh, learn and hopefully make some cash.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Book - Listen to Kirsten!, August 16, 2007

This review is from: Flipping Confidential: The Secrets of Renovating Property for Profit In Any Market (Paperback)
I am a big fan of the "Property Ladder." Kirsten is great. The information in this book is well organized and is pertinent - even for a homeowner who just wants to do projects that will add value to his/her home. However, the photos in this book deserve Kirsten's patented stand-offish stare. The quality of the photos is very poor (b&w with a 50's owner's manual's feel). Other than that, nice job! If you seen the show, then you know Kirsten offers good advice (which is almost never taken), but we would all do well to follow her expertise and guidance.
