For beginners: follow along my flips in Bay Area

For beginners: follow along my flips in Bay Area

Morning all.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving with love ones.

I’m back in action with a couple of flips in and around the great Bay Area.

I’m thinking about opening them up for whoever’s interested to follow through from start to finish.

This is geared toward beginners only. If you’re thinking about getting started in flipping and wanna know first hand how it’s like without having to spend a dime of your own, pls let me know. Practice makes perfect :).

Here’s what you’ll get:

+ insider’s view of everything: - what I look for when searching - how I found the properties - what it takes to seal & close the deal - numbers: all things $$$ related - plan: what’s my plan to do with them (with chances to practice/“role play” as if you’re the decision maker) - actual process of renovation: planning, construction cost, materials selection for flips, resources (contractors, subs, architects, supplier houses, etc...) - staging, marketing for sale - listing (diy or hire out, resources, etc...) - and everything else in between + these are all free of course + my promise that I won’t sell anything during the process :) so you’re perfectly safe with me!!! + why I do it: I learn my way for free from others (still do). And I like to help beginners getting started in flipping like me. :)

Time and space is limited so first come first served :).

I will start finalizing my list of interesting prospects by 6pm PST this Sunday (11/26) to send out general plan of actions. First meeting is next week.

Format: I’ll talk more with this group but in a nutshell, we’d probably meet up at job site as out first meeting. Then milestone meetings plus phone/email/social media as follow ups.

+ Property locations: - Pleasant hill - hayward + Construction experience potential (what you can learn about from these projects): - kitchen and bath remodel of course - room addition - ADU building - New Construction - Lot split

Any suggestions and constructive criticism are always welcome.

Thanks.

@Nhi Nguyen any shot you have a private jet that could pick me up in Rochester once a week for the meetups?  If so, I'm in.

    Hello @Whitney McClary

    Thanks for your interest.  This is a local hand-on event at the job site for beginners.  It seems like you're in NY.   It'd take me a while (if at all possible) to be able to fly you guys here  :)

    Finally, welcome email just got sent.  :)  

    If you're local, beginners, signed up but didn't get an email from me, please PM me your contact info (email address & phone number).

    After our first meeting this Saturday, I'll create separate posts for each of the flips so everyone can follow along the progress (with photos).

    Thanks again.

    So cool to meet Nhi today, I learned a lot from the short hour at just 1 property site. Nice to meet other fellow BPers but definitely a big thank you to Nhi for this opportunity!

    @Al D., @Cody Evans, @Jonny C., @Henry Chen, @Henry LiChi, @Chunyan Song, @David Glenn, Duy, VietAi

    Thanks all who showed up today. It really meant a lot to me.  Thanks Alex for the donuts. 

    Sorry the meeting times were set up with such a short notice. 

    If there are still interests, I’d set up another one once I start work on Pleasant Hill project (tentatively first half of Jan).  Hayward project still takes sometime to get permit approved.

    Today was great. Learned a different way of viewing properties. I am totally down to see some more of the flip.

    @Nhi Nguyen

    Thank you for the taking time from your day to show us your process and how to think outside the box.  Learned a tremendous amount and look forward to taking you up on your offer of seeing the progress of how you flip properties.

    @Nhi Nguyen I actually live in Oakland but most of my current investing is in NY. Let me know if you still have a spot available. Thanks

    @Whitney McClary - you're always welcome.  I thought you're out of state and your reply is a week after the announcement of the meeting.  :)

    As of now, I'm waiting for the permit on one, drawing on the other.  I'll notify the group once we start commencing the first project for any possible meeting (if there's more interests).

    Pls stay tune.

    Hi Linh.  Where are you located?  I'm in Hayward but have projects in the South (SJ & Los Gatos).
