If you’re going to be in this business you’re going to have to spend at least a little time with some numbers. And if you want to do well with the numbers and work with any kind of volume at all, you would be well advised to learn how to use a spreadsheet. That’s what I did. In fact I became quite the nerd with them. At one point several years back when I was single, I was teaching a team how to use my foreclosure analysis spreadsheet. One of the ladies in the groups raised her hand and asked, “do you evaluate your girlfriends with a spreadsheet?” That was a GREAT idea!

I was looking around online to see what’s out there and came across several products and possibilities. A few of the programs were so good I immediately reached out to the developers to see whether they would come on the show. One of them joins us today. He is Dave Robertson, from House Flipping Spreadsheet and FlipperForce.

He was a Construction Cost Estimator for a large commercial construction company when he started flipping houses part-time. As an Estimator his natural born instinct was to create an Excel spreadsheet to help him analyze deals and estimate rehab costs. But Dave's inner nerd took over and he went a little crazy and ended up spending thousands of hours building and tinkering with his spreadsheet which is now known today as the House Flipping Spreadsheet. Dave is currently taking his success with the House Flipping Spreadsheet and investing his time in a new web-based house flipping software called FlipperForce.
