Flipping in East Orange

I have listen to a lot of real estate investor speak about what it’s like to do business in East Orange. In an effort of full disclosure, I grew up in East Orange and worked for the City for a couple of years. I am going to use this space as a log of my experience flipping a house in my home town.

The subject property is a 2-story craftsman’s bungalow. It is a Fannie Mae foreclosure. It is vacant has been vandalized. All of the copper has been removed (including wiring); the heating pipes and radiators are also gone. It will need a new furnace and water heater. The floors, walls, windows and doors are in fair shape.

We will be creating a master bedroom suite on the second floor, while remodeling the kitchen and the first floor bath. New floors, renovated doors and hardware and a paint job will complete the project.

I welcome you to follow me through this process.
