And of course, me, the Flipping America guy, Roger Blankenship. I've made my career in real estate investing by doing it rather than talking about it. I've flipped hundreds of houses and I'm going to show you how to do it. I have a few techniques no one else uses or teaches, but I'm going to share them with you. Why?

Because we are going to tell you how to get started Flipping Houses and building wealth. It's not just owning a business, it's owning a wealth generation machine that will not only provide for you, but be a blessing to your children and grandchildren. And that's not all, when you purchase your ticket for only $97 for this two day event, my good friend Jay Conner is going to invite you to HIS event in October at no additional charge. That's right, two multi-day real estate training events for one low price. Sign up now at FlipStarterEvent.com. The FIRST 20 people who sign up for FlipStarter can save 20% off the admission cost by using the coupon code HOT20. I flipped 75 houses before I finally decided to go to a seminar about flipping houses. I wanted to improve my techniques. Over the years I've attended many training events and I can confidently tell you that FlipStarter is unlike any real estate investor training out there.
