I am closing on my first flip house in the Houston area on Thursday. It's a 3/2 in a pretty nice, standard mid-range community built in the late 70's. the ARV is $175K. I work for a flooring company and can get the material and labor myself, but am not sure if I should use a mid range vinyl plank for around $1/sf or WPC waterproof click product with a foam backing which is a step up and looks a little bit nicer but also costs about 3 times as much. Would it be worth it to spend the extra money on a little better of a product? It's probably $2K vs $5-6K

Hey, congrats on your first flip! I would also recommend checking out the comps (what's typical in the neighborhood on recent sales?) and your anticipated profit. This should be a purely biz decision, and if the nicer floor helps sell it faster, that might be the wise thing to do. I have access to the MLS if you don't.

 Thanks @Tom Cooper. Very helpful!

Humble, which is close to the airport, Katy north of i-10 and Cypress are good bets as well. There are tons of options in Houston. If you can visit and tour that would be very helpful. The Houston metroplex is a large sprawl.

Hi @Aniekan Udoh, welcome!  There is a monthly meetup out near the Katy area where several of us have been meeting and discussing RE in the Houston area.  Would be great to meet you if you can make it.

 Thanks Adam. Good to know!

Hi all, I'm excited to join the forum. I'm a licensed realtor in Houston, TX and have been selling real estate (residential) for the past two years. I recently decided it was time to learn about and begin investing. The BP podcasts and blog posts have been a great educational resource. I'm looking to buy-and-hold rentals as well as wholesaling. Still in learning phase though. I look forward to interacting with everyone and hopefully we can even do business together.
