My first flip has been listed.

I'm a bit nervous to be honest. I purchased the house for $28,600.00 and have about $30,000.00 into it. If the house sells anywhere close to list price I should make a healthy profit. I still have some last minute things to finish up before Sunday's open house (putting up a PVC fence in the front which should be done today). 

My realtor isn't doing any showings till after the open house but has already had a few calls about it. I've already been looking for my next flip. The wife wants me to take some time off first (working a full time job and flipping eats up a lot of time). Wish me luck and let me know what you think of it.

@Shawn Jetton,

It looks beautiful--- but I'd strongly suggest hiring a professional photographer do the pictures!   It  looks amazing, the colors are awesome-- but it looks dark.    Your pictures aren't doing it justice!

Also, I'd recommend putting some flower boxes in the front on the porch, just give it a touch of color and remind people of spring.   Flowers always make a house look more like a home!
