It would be fun to be able to have my books listed on Amazon, and available for sale through my website.

We delved further into flipping in Real Estate Investing 201. In Real Estate Investing 101, Part II we covered buying and holding property for long term appreciation and wealth building. We also touched on class shifting to increase value. Real Estate Investing 202 continued on the Buy and Hold theme and offered deeper insight into making it profitable. In Real Estate Investing 203, we looked at shifting property classes for “highest and best use,” while increasing property value and return.
This time, we are going to look at investing from a different perspective.
