Over the years, I have appeared both on-air and in articles for CNBC and their related properties. As a business network, they tend be straightforward and easy to work with on stories.
The first national television interview I appeared on was with CNBC, and I’ll always be appreciative of that!
These are the 10 worst states to flip a house in
CNBC’s “Make It.” division published a story based on bad data from some other websites. The story listed the worst states for flipping houses based on a flawed premise. They listed “profit” as sales price minus cost to purchase – ignoring the fact that nearly all flips require significant sums of money to repair.
I provided some comments to correct the story, but unfortunately it’s still very misleading and they haven’t updated it further.

CNBC ran the story and multiple state Attorney Generals looked into the practice.
