MY NEW FLIP: I'll be Posting Weekly Updates Here

BP Community,

This is Shawn Ward of Belle Hampton Properties in Los Angeles. My partner and I just purchased our next flip in South Los Angeles and decided that instead of posting a success story at the end (which I still hope to do), I'd actually post weekly updates here and can take you guys along the journey with us and answer any questions that may arise. 

Background:

List Price: $425k

Purchase Price: $410k

Financing: With Hard Money Lender & Private Investor

Rehab Budget: $75k

ARV: $625k

Target Flip Timeframe: 10-12 Weeks

House: Beautiful Craftsman (see attached); it's a 2/1 now and we are converting it into a 2/2.

SIDE NOTE: We just went into contract on a second flip in Montecito so we'll be doing two flips at the same time. 

Stay tuned,

Shawn

    @Phillip Le I do not perform any rehab myself. I make sure we are on time and on budget throughout. I am at our flips a few times per week. I am also continuously analyzing new deals and working with our investors.

    Amazing work! I was skeptical on the colors as well, but it has that modern look people love!

    The house looks amazing! I like the bold choice in colors; the mural is a nice touch, too.
