Skip the Flip: Secrets the 1% Know About Real Estate Investing
Hayden Crabtree · 2026
🎙 Narrated by Hayden Crabtree (self-narrated)
63/100
👎 Skip It
Hayden Crabtree makes buy-and-hold real estate genuinely approachable for total beginners, and listener sentiment runs largely positive. But a lot of this overlaps with what's already free on YouTube and real-estate blogs, and some reviewers found the chapters short and shallow. A solid on-ramp, not an essential listen — skip it if you've already done any real-estate homework.
