Buyers Bootcamp with Scott McGillivray

Scott McGillivray offers an opportunity for amateur investors to partner with him to buy -- and profit from -- investment properties throughout North America. Together, they either sink or swim.

Scott has to decide between a massive Victorian fixer-upper and a dilapidated semi-detached. Both houses are in hot markets, but the rookie mistakes that have already been made will play a big part in his decision.

Scott chooses between a young couple with a tenanted house in a great neighborhood and a mother-son team with frozen bungalow flip.

Scott must choose between a cute yet dated two-story home and a neglected bungalow with a basement apartment. With his money on the line, he'll have to decide which property stands the best chance for success.

A desperate married couple and two business-minded sisters compete for Scott's cash in a suburban face-off. When faced with the realities of both situations, he may need to forget the numbers and go with his gut.

Scott debates partnering with a couple new to flipping and another couple stuck in a mid-flip crisis. He is confident that he can't make a wrong choice, but some exterior issues prove there's no such thing as a sure bet.
