Synopsis

This book discusses buying a property for the sole purpose of remodeling it to resell, commonly known as "flipping".This practice has been made popular by recent DIY programs on TV that tend to glamorize the process, but make no mistake; the process of house flipping is hard work, very stressful, and requires a lot of money and skill.

There are a couple of reasons why a person might want to flip a house. The first reason is it is a historical or classical building, and a person wants to do the project for the love of the building. The second reason is TO MAKE MONEY. I believe 99% or more fall into the latter, and this book deals with this.

I will guide you through all the steps in buying your property, the remodeling process, and finally, selling the project to make BIG PROFITS.

I go into every granular detail, as I have been there and done that - dozens of times.

Don't start a house flip without reading this book.

Includes Mobile Homes and Rental Property

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

As a kid, whenever I saw an old clock at a jumble sale or going cheap, I would buy it and take it apart to see how it worked. I don't think I ever got one back together again, but I enjoyed tinkering with them.

Twenty years later when I was getting married, now living in the USA, Auntie Florrie wrote to me saying I could now have my Grandfathers clock.

I arranged to have the clock shipped over and it was proudly placed in the entrance hall to my home. It was built in about 1880 in Maghull England by a local clockmaker, [before the electric light was invented], had a stately mahogany case, hand-painted dial and ran nicely.

After a few years, it stopped. I was frustrated that I didn't know what was wrong with it or how to get it going. I ended up having it serviced by a local repair shop and it ran again. I was fascinated with the clock.

In 1995, my family decided to spend a year in England including putting the kids in school. It was a big challenge to arrange to swap houses with an English family. Finally, we were settled, and the kids started school, my wife was volunteering at a local charity shop and suddenly I had time on my hands.

I read the paper that morning and came across an ad for a clock course starting nearby at Manchester City College. I called the college and they told me it was a three-year course, one day per week. I explained I was only in the country for one year, so I persuaded them to let me take the course, coming all three days.

I enjoyed the course and did very well. The final exam took several weeks, making a 'suspension bridge' from scratch to exact specifications, restoring several old clocks and watches. I documented the process and took the extensive final written exam all set by BHI [British Horological Institute]. I did pass the exams and became a Horologist.

25 years later I teach clock repair classes and 'pass it on'. This is the class workbook.
