I just finished reading Diary of a Real Estate Rookie: My Year of Flipping, Selling, and Rebuilding and What I Learned (The Hard Way)  by Alison Rogers 

Overall I enjoyed the book. I was looking for a book that was a diary of someone who was successful at flipping houses. Within those paramaters the book failed miserably.

If you are looking for some good information on how to become a realtor, flipper, or how to be a more successfull realtor I would choose a different book.

However, if you are looking for a touching, somewhat intimate look at someone's life who attempted to flip houses, and is now a Realtor it is very good.

Alison writes for Inman news and has a blog there. If you are looking for really helpful information you would be better served reading her blog.

My favorite quote "The four C's of Real Estate are:

• Cost
• Capacity
• Condition
• Convenience - Location"
