Hey everyone! I’m curious—who here is actively flipping in Middle Tennessee right now?
I’d love to hear:
What areas you’re focusing on
Why you chose those markets
What your margins are looking like in today’s market
Are you still finding solid deals, or has it gotten tougher with pricing and inventory?
I’m seeing a lot of activity around the Nashville/Franklin areas, but would love to hear what others are experiencing on the ground and what’s actually working for you right now.

Hi Claudia, I've been finding good deals in areas surrounding Nashville. Still high in demand, but lower in price. Old Hickory, Madison, and Clarksville have been most fruitful for me. Profit margins are generally 10-15% of the sales price.
I've never flipped in Franklin, but there is a smaller pool of investors for higher-end properties, so I imagine margins are better there. It just seems like there are so many newer investors willing to pay more and lose out on profit just to get a project under their belt, and wholesalers know this.

It is quite surprising how much people will pay for houses sometimes. even from wholesalers. I just want my 15% profit or what-have-you, and here comes someone swooping in to make 5%. And suppose they pay cash with no financing costs and they make 8%. Do they not know they can put their cash in an actual investment and make way more money with zero work?! If you are sinking $300k into a flip to make $40k... why? Just put that in the stock market and make 2/3 of that with zero effort...

The market I'm focused on is Davidson county, I've been flipping and developing res there.
It's been a little easier to find deals in a sense as there's more inventory, but since selling them is harder, the deals have to be even better, and those deals are still hard to find.
