Flipping Houses
Flipping Houses by Danny Johnson | August 8, 2011 
If it weren’t for my wife’s support and willingness to take a chance, we would not be where we are today. Flipping houses requires a certain level of risk tolerance to be able to stand the pressure involved in dealing with large amounts of money. Houses aren’t cheap, ok, maybe we’ve proved that they can [...]

In fact, the only category I haven’t rehabbed for a profit is a house. 2-4 units, small apartment buildings, even a medical building once. In fact, that one was my favorite. I’m not the flipping type, but those who do it well have [...]

I’ve addressed this topic several times in the forums, and much of this post is taken from an old forum post I wrote, but this subject is important enough to rehabbers and other investors that I wanted to make sure it was captured here on the blog… One of the biggest areas where rehabbers and [...]

Ugly houses not only scare off competition but the upside potential is typically better. Rehabbers are problem solvers – ugly becomes attractive, unlivable becomes desirable and repairs result in added value. There are 5 areas that [...]

We completed a successful flip in a high end blue collar area and it went perfectly. It was a 70% LTV deal and we made a nice annualized return (tip #5). The property was in a suburb just outside of a great rental area, we categorize this area as a high end blue collar area [...]

Not 40 yet, he’s married with three young children. They’ve been pretty successful in buying REOs, rehabbing them, and doin’ it over again. They’re now liking the whole [...]
Flipping Houses by Steve L. | August 10, 2010A lot of conversation goes on about buying the right way, and remodeling the property efficiently, but if you can’t get the property sold does it really matter? According to a California Association of Realtors study, from February 2010, 63% of homes fall out of escrow before they close. That is almost two out of [...]

First off, you gotta know I’m all for the newbie out there willin’ to plow the dusty south 40 hopin’ to work their way up the ladder. Really, I am. Most of my experience has been that if they did just that, over time they’d be as successful as their talent would allow. In other [...]
Read the full article → Flipping Houses by Jeff Brown | June 1, 2010It’s always been true, but since the correction the calls I get from those specializing in ‘quick turn’ projects, whether flipping or wholesaling, have more than doubled. The calls are predictable, usually coming within a few days after publishing a post about what their retirement will look like, given their long term M.O. — and [...]
Flipping Houses by Jeff Brown | April 27, 2010My all time favorite axiom was taught to me by Grandma one day at their Art Shack in Temecula. It was during summer vacation, I was about 10 or so, and it was HOT. Grandpa was in the middle of one of his signature paintings of the Grand Canyon, when without warning he stopped, put [...]
Flipping Houses by J Scott | March 17, 2010Last week, my blog post discussed my method for determining the maximum purchase price you can offer for a property that you plan to rehab/resell or wholesale. In the formula I presented, I referred to “Fixed Costs” and I mentioned that I know my Fixed Costs to be about $17,000 on a typical project. I [...]
Flipping Houses by J Scott | March 10, 2010 
The question I get most often from new investors looking to break into flipping or wholesaling is, “How do I determine the maximum purchase price I should pay when trying to buy a property I plan to rehab or wholesale?” Most investors have some quantitative analysis technique they use for determining their maximum purchase price [...]

When I was active as a Realtor working primarily with investors in Philadelphia, most of my business revolved around finding “Propertunities” for investors to rehab and hold or sell for a modest profit, usually in the that 100-200k range where there were always plenty of buyers. Of course, one of the most stressful stages of [...]

Last week I wrote about the slippery slope that is rehab over-improvement. This week I would like to share a story of how I recently over-improved a home and in so doing, gave away about $30,000. Over spending on your flip projects is so easy to do that I liken it to a disease such [...]

In part 2, I will give you some specific advertising ideas and also answer a possible question/concern you may have: What happens if my [...]
