"Flipping Properties" is an excellent guide to buying distressed properties and reselling them for a profit. The book came out in 2001 and needs updating with respect to the internet for searches, foreclosure listings and digital signing services like Docu-sign. Real estate prices and material costs are off, but not buy so much, given the 2007 -2010 downturn in real estate.

However, the process of identifying properties and rehabbing them works. With the market for real estate drawing in buyers the book is relevant for investors interested in turning a profit. Key points are listed at the end of each chapter.

This is a thorough book and new and used copies are available.
