Description for Sales People
Key selling points: Author Ken Corsini was the host of HGTV's Flip or Flop Atlanta. BiggerPockets started a new show with Ken, coinciding with the book content and launch. Any interviews deemed not "good enough" for the book are offered for investors to watch on his YouTube Show: Best Deals Ever. Ken has 15+ years of real estate investing experience and has flipped more than 800 homes. Illustrations of the investors being profiled throughout the book. Though many real estate books are purely tactical, this book takes the approach of using investors' narratives as examples, which adds an element of entertainment to the education. The potential audience for this book is larger than "topical" real estate books, as it focuses on general experiences rather than a specific strategy.
