Hey guys,

So I found this game last night, and I wanted to share it with the community. I believe it is a great game, and it is a lot of fun.

While it lacks the ability to let you counter offer, and a few of the financial analytical aspects of real estate, it is a very good game which I played from midnight to around 6:30AM today here at the good ol' University of Iowa! haha

You still need to analyze properties you want to buy (look at neighborhood values, current asking prices, appraised values, instant equity, loans), there is an in game banker who will give you refinance options and home equity loans. There is an in game real estate agent, and more!

While this is only a demo/trial version that kicks you off after about 20 minutes of gameplay...I have found a way around it.


When this box pops up:
flipthathouse02.jpg


just make sure you don't click on it, go to the bottom of your computer screen and click on the FLIP THAT HOUSE tab on the left side of the two tabs. Never click on the END GAME button:

and go back to playing! (I also found that keeping the music turned off on the game this last time might have been a factor, as I believe the music acts as a timer of sorts, which shuts the game off after about 20 minutes. Not 100% sure about this, but if you want to play it safe, turn the music off.)


The third time I played the game last night, I managed to make:
+A cashflow of 1.9 million a month by the time I was 49 years old
+200,000,000 in networth
+150,000,000 in spendable cash (which I used when new properties came up.)

Check that out here:http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/ww26/G_Alexander44/flipthathouse.jpg

If I just simply click advance month now, I will be a billionaire in just a few short years!

The game is not all peaches an cream though. The first time I made it to around a million and accidentally clicked out of the game. And the second time I played I got into a HEAVY NEGATIVE CASHFLOW situation.

You are able to buy all different types of properties, but nothing commercial and no major multi-units.

I highly recommend you check the game out, because it is free and can't hurt if you learn even just ONE new thing! It is fun as well.

Get the game at: Flip That House - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com

Hope you enjoy it, let me know what you think.
