My first house flipping experience was also a doozy. The biggest issue I had was a roof leak that I couldn’t seem to figure out. In fact I never figured it out but was luck enough to still turn it over and make a profit. Would have made a great episode of “Flip This House” as I had to sue one of my contractors, do some work myself, fight with other contractors and even found an old car in the garage that I sold on Ebay. Never dull!

I remember the very first rehab work I did from the first foreclosure home I bought. I thought I would never get out of the clearing the junk mode. It was disgusting! I just have to keep motivating myself that there will light (ooops I mean cash at the of the tunnel).

I have had that happen in the past as well and it is the most serious mistake I have made. “Never ever fall in love with your fixer”. You want to keep things on a professional scale and follow a plan.

I lost 50K on the one I fell in love with.

Since then I have done hundreds of remodels

We bought an old house (circa 1905) and took our time fixing it up. In the end, we just couldn’t part with it and it became home. We have had numerous offers, but we put too much work into it to part. I don’t think that this is how “house-flipping” is supposed to work!
