What skills do you bring to the table? If you have construction skills, you could do this, although there are no guarantees. If you have to pay for someone to do things for you, you will not make as much.

You would also need an eye for which changes will make the needed impact.

If this is something you think you'd be good at, try one and see how it goes. But don't quit your day job. At least not until you see if this works for you in your area.

I did it. But don't buy into the H&G philosophy. Dramatized for TV.

Of cause you can but, remember that in every thing you do you take a rusk. some times you can get lucky and buy and sell a house and make some money, and some times you can lose. That's a chance you have to take, no one every tell the losers stories. And a lot of the time when they are fixer uppers you have to be care full you don't spend to much that you can't get you money back in the end.

You are rather impolite with your demands, but I will answer you anyway. These shows are real, but just as many people lose money doing this as make money. So, if you work hard, know what you are doing, and have some luck, you can make good money at it.

It's a tough business but some people are making a living from it. Read a lot and start on a part time basis. Take seminars and be prepared to work a lot.
