"Shut Up and Flip A House Already: A Guide to Help You Shit or Get Off the Pot"
Brenna and her co-author, Wendy Doris (fka @flippinwendy), met on Instagram and then eventually met in real life. It started as swapping ideas and advice back-and-forth, then visiting each other's project houses. A common theme over the first couple years was the questions and requests we were both constantly receiving: people asking us for coffee meetings/brain-picking sessions - via email, phone call, social media messaging and comments, etc. While we are both honored to be trusted as a valuable resource, there's no way we could fulfill every meeting invite and/or email request for information that came our way. We also realized there was a lack of inexpensive, genuine resources out there for people considering getting into this crazy business we somehow love. Our answer was to write an ebook, with the goal of being as transparent, honest and truthful as possible here. We did NOT want to put out just another book that dances around the topic without really ever telling the reader any useful information. And we're definitely not trying to get you to buy tickets to some seminar - we don't roll like that.
This book is meant for the people who love the idea of flipping, but want to see what it will really take. They've been saying they want to get into it, and should just shut up and do it already. It's also for the homeowner who wants to put in some sweat equity to improve the value of their home. This book is filled with what we would tell you if we were to meet with you for coffee, or beer - there's a lot to talk about! It contains more than a few truth bombs and ugly lessons we've learned along the way. And some successes and pretty pictures too. The book is about 100 pages long and is the result of our combined 20+ years' and 30+ houses worth of experience. We hope you enjoy it!
Brenna teamed up with her flipping BFF Wendy Doris to answer the question we always get asked: “How do you flip a house?” Since trying to answer every email and social media comment was getting a bit hard to keep up with, we decided to try to put our 15 years of experiences onto paper (screen?). The information in this ebook is what we would share with you if we met up for a cup of coffee to discuss how to flip houses. Or beer. There's a lot to talk about! This book is meant for the people who love the idea of flipping, but want to see what it will really take. They've been saying they want to get into it, and should just shut up and do it already. It's also for the homeowner who wants to put in some sweat equity to improve the value of their home. We'll discuss:
How much money house flippers make
Eight ways to get money to buy homes
Fifteen ways to find good deals on houses
Thirty-six contacts you'll need to know to flip houses

What to do if you're about to lose money on a home

We wrote this ebook as a way to not only share our knowledge with those who are interested in the process, but as a way to be completely transparent about what flipping houses really entails. We're not trying to get you to buy tickets to some seminar, or our "method" on a $1500 DVD set. Real talk, and real answers, only. We'll tell you exactly how we do it and what to expect.
