Making Money from Burnt-Out Real Estate Is Easier Than You Think When most people encounter a fire-damaged or otherwise distressed property, all they see are the problems—a torched roof, melted floors, fire-blacked walls, molten chaos everywhere—and they want nothing to do with it. Not John Verdier. For the past 12 years, he has specialized in buying, renovating, and selling such properties, and he’s made a lot of money doing it. Now John has shared his wisdom and experience in this helpful book. Taking the fear and mystery out of the process, John explains how to locate a fire-damaged or distressed property, how to negotiate the best deal, how to finance it (including zero money out of pocket deals), how to rebuild it, and how to decide whether to flip or rent the property once it’s been restored. Most importantly, once you’ve done it the first time, John shows you how to repeat the process again, and again, and again. Whether you have some experience buying and selling real estate or you’re just starting out, this book is the perfect tool to get you started down the road from ash . . . to cash!
