I'm going to lead off with an in-depth report on flipping houses. This is the show Flipping America after all, so the topic is on point. But we've been getting quite a few questions lately about flipping houses so before I get to the news, let's deal with a question. Remember if you have questions about real estate, send them to [email protected]. Max from Philadelphia, PA "I heard you mention that flipping houses isn't really investing. So what is it then?" Jaquelyn from Anderson, IN "What's the point of flipping houses? I have good income. I just want to invest in long term cash flowing properties."

  • Ali Boone

    She has a Masters Degree in Aerospace Engineering from one of America's leading technical institutes. She was a test pilot with the US government with Top Secret clearance. She also has a Masters Degree in Spiritual Psychology, which seems very different than engineering! She gave up what looks to all of us a GREAT career to become a real estate investor. Yeah she's good at that too. With more than 180 articles published on Bigger Pockets, Ali Boone has become one of the best known real estate investors of our time. In a few minutes I'm going to share with you my interview with her and I have to say, one of the most interesting conversations I've had on this show.

  • Devon Thorsby, Real Estate Editor, US News and World Report

    Ever wonder what it's like to be a real estate reporter for a major news outlet? Wonder no more. We have a couple of them lined up for you in the next two weeks. I like to know what people think and how they think and these reporters provide a lot of the interpretation for the data we all consume as real estate investors. Today we are going to be joined in a few minutes by Devon Thorsby from US News and World Report. I'm planning to ask Devon how she feels about real estate in general, what she sees coming for us in 2019, and how she wound up at the magazine. Devon Thorsby is the Real Estate editor at U.S. News & World Report, where she writes consumer-focused articles about the homebuying and selling process, home improvement, tenant rights and the state of the housing market. She has appeared in media interviews across the U.S. including National Public Radio, WTOP (Washington, D.C.) and KOH (Reno, Nevada) and various print publications, as well as having served on panels discussing real estate development, city planning policy and homebuilding. Previously, she served as a researcher of commercial real estate transactions and information, and is currently a member of the National Association of Real Estate Editors. Thorsby studied Political Science at the University of Michigan, where she also served as a news reporter and editor for the student newspaper The Michigan Daily. Follow her on Twitter or write to her at [email protected].
