Do It Yourself

Full Time
Either you´ve been successful as an experienced flipper and want to do it again or you are ready to embark on a fabulous way to make a living. Turning the neighborhood eyesore into a like new home for someone and profiting from it brings a great deal of satisfaction.

Part Time

Things always seem to take longer than you think they will. You can be successful as a part time Fix and Flip-er if you get a partner or hire some help and are ready to sacrifice your "free time" to really move your financial life and prosperity into high gear.  

For the Inexperienced:

·    You´ll need to get financing squared away first; having a nest egg or a significant other bringing in a monthly income will help relieve the financial burden.

·    See the financing section of this website to learn how you can factor in the cost of your materials if you are low on cash after closing.

·    Your first Fix and Flip is critical. The learning curve will cost you. So make that first project have a great margin of profit.

Experienced and Inexperienced

·    You´ve got carpentry skills? Great. Know how to put in a tile floor? Great. Know your way around plumbing? Fabulous. Electric? Good. Think you can pick out the tile that goes with a trendy paint color and what kind of cabinets to buy?  Think again.  If you go too trendy or too neutral your project may languish on the market.  HIRE A DESIGNER. See the Designer section of this website.

·     Know when a "fill-in" contractor will benefit you most. Unless you´re paying cash, delays can cost you. That mortgage payment begins to loom large after about three months. Getting several things done simultaneously can make the difference. Pick a contractor who has a skill you don´t posses. You may be surprised to find how affordable a painter is versus how much time it will take you.

For the Experienced:

Ready to take it to the next level? Move up in purchase price for a greater margin?  Consult an experienced real estate agent for locations that are always good bets for Fix and Flips.  An agent can also help with selecting a specialty property such as multi-generation homes, horse properties or marketing to those needing to take care of elderly parents. Consider houses with land and/or horse properties.
