Helpful for homeowners, too

Great book! I'm learning about flipping homes because I'm preparing to sell my own older home and need to identify and prioritize (and do) the types of renovations/updates that will add value prior to listing it.

Author Elisa Zheng Covington, MBA, is an experienced "flipper" who carefully and thoroughly describes considerations in selecting properties for potential renovation, as well as "watch outs" throughout the fix and flip process. One tip: When having renovation work performed by a contractor, you'll save money by buying the materials yourself.

She describes her design approach (neutral colors and a somewhat minimalist look) along with the types of products she prefers during renovation to provide quality updates while not overspending. As someone updating an older home, I found the author's product recommendations extremely helpful because I'm not sure how I'd know about some of these products otherwise. Ms. Covington provides actionable tips that left me feeling encouraged and enthusiastic.

Along with being an author, Ms. Covington has a very informative youtube channel showing before and after views of homes she's renovated.

This audiobook was well-narrated. I mainly listened while driving to and from working at my old house, and only occasionally needed to refer to the accompanying PDF later.

A very interesting book recommended to real estate investors and homeowners wanting to learn more about home renovation.

Awesome book

Very nice book with great information for beginners or even experienced house flippers that want more information

Going on 3 times reread

This is one of, if not, the best real estate investment book on Flipping. She does a phenotype job of going through all the phases that you need to move through to have successfull flip. She's new enough where she's not yet unconsciously doing steps and yet experienced enough where she can speak from a space of certainty.
I first followed her on YouTube and was thrilled when she shared that she was publishing a book. She did not disappoint.
