and now, a new craze called snap-flipping is sweeping the nation. here's how it works. most people know that in traditional house flipping, an investor purchases a home, improves it, and flips it for a profit. but what most people don't know is that many investors get their properties from snap-flippers. snap-flipping is a unique real estate strategy being done in all 50 states that allows you to get paid for simply helping investors find properties to flip. as a snap-flipper, you never have to buy a property, put any of your own money at risk, or do any rehab work. you simply help investors locate properties to flip, hand them off, and get paid. >> i've been paid on nine deals. that, to me, is just amazing. snap-flipping has just been such a blessing in our lives. >> i couldn't believe the size of the checks i was getting, just by finding property, passing it off, and getting paid. >> announcer: snap-flipping requires no special licenses and can be done with no cash, no credit, and no previous real estate experience.

you can even do it part-time in your spare time. and, right now, the demand for snap-flippers in your area is so strong, that two of hgtv's hottest stars, drew levin and danny perkins, are hosting free lunch and dinner events right here in the local area to show you exactly how to do it and help you get started. >> snap-flipping is one of the best-kept secrets in real estate. >> but you definitely don't hear about it much because it doesn't involve those dramatic home transformations that make for good television. >> with snap-flipping, the only transformation is the financial one you'll experience when you start cashing those snap-flipping checks. >> i have attended one of their seminars. i thought, is it really that simple? do i really just find a property, pass it to an investor, and collect? and i'm here to tell you -- it is that simple. i've been paid on eight properties so far -- eight! >> announcer: call the toll-free number or go to the website below during this program to receive two free tickets for you and a guest to attend drew and danny's life-changing event. and at the event, you'll also
