I would list is ASAP. Average days on the market in Fort Worth is 79 days right now.

You can always set the closing day out further if you need to, but I wouldn't let it sit if it's ready to go. Can you share the address and pics of the house? 

Thank you,


 Thank you!  The address is 1315 Silver Maple Drive, Carrollton, TX 75007.  I  am personally staging the home tomorrow and will have pictures taken on Thursday.  I can send you pictures soon.  Do you have an email address?


 Yes, but I am unable to share it on this thread.

Hello BP Community.

I am an Out of State investor. Any recommendations for experienced and reliable home inspectors in the DFW area?

Thanks


 Do you still need an inspector? I have several recommendations if you still need assistance.

Hey Kristen! 

Thank you so much for the critiques.  We've had 4-5 showings so far.  Not particularly interested at this point in dropping the price anymore (yet, at least).  The flip is a pretty solid one. Really only things I could see that might turn off buyers is the water lines in the laundry room next to the water heater. Additionally, I have received feedback from one prospective buyer that they don't love that it is a 1.5 car garage and not a 2.  Thoughts on that? 

#1: I appreciate the notes on the curb appeal.  I may try and plant a few things in the beds.  Anything specifically you are seeing beyond that? 

#2: Will "digitally" staging help this at all? 

#3: I believe he has it on FB Marketplace, we have had one open house (with no one stopping by). Beyond that I am not sure about Facebook ads or reaching out to their network. 

#4:  Yes we are offering a BAC. 


 Yea, I don't think you should drop the price yet, it's already priced fair.

I don't think the water lines would be a huge issue. A lot of homes that age have W/D in the garage, so if it's inside the home, that's a plus. 

I could see the garage possibly being an issue, however, at least it has a garage. I've seen some private builders build homes without a garage. The home sat longer but eventually sold. I know most clients I speak to, just like a garage, mostly for storage lol It's really up to the buyers and for that price range, they honestly can't be too nit-picky. 

I've heard good and bad abut virtual staging. Some love it, some hate it, some are indifferent. It couldn't hurt to try it.

Personally, I have not. I have heard great things about Padsplit though, it's a similar model. Since I am not familiar with Homeroom I cannot compare the two, but you should check them out!

Hey Cody! 

I know that area well! This Market is a little slow right now, but at that price, I am surprised there hasn't been more movement, especially for that area. 

Looking at the pictures, it looks like a nice flip. I hope you did quality work, as I know many rehabbers that don't, and while the pictures look nice, seeing it in person tells a completely different story.

Assuming you did a great job on the rehab, here are my 4 suggestions

#1 The front looks blah. Adding more curb appeal will make it look more beautiful and inviting.

#2 Staging will help. Let me know if you need a contact for staging.

#3 Other than listing it on the MLS, what has your Realtor done. Personally, I work hard for my sellers. Has s/he marketed it on social media, reached out to their network, ran Facebook ads, held an open house.

#4 Are you offering a BAC? I hate to say it, but that will make a difference. Especially in this market/economy. 

Let me know if you have any questions. I'd love to be the agent on your next deal.

Hello All, I am new here and was trying to check if anyone can provide the tools I need to find the best market and also any other suggestions are welcome.


 Hello Srinivas! I see you're in the DFW area too. I would recommend investing first in the market you live in. It is easier to learn the ropes when you can see what's going on. Also, joining local investor networking groups will help you learn the area and strategies better as well. Lastly, form a strong team to include lenders, title, contractors, and a knowledgeable realtor.

Quote from @Jason Sung:

Hi all, 

I have a rental property that I bought in Feb 2024. After rehab, I have been renting it since May 2024. Hence, no tax filing was done for rental income from this property yet. When would be the earliest time I can sell it as 1031?


 Typically, it's a 2 year hold. 1031 is not meant for fix and flip properties. Are you going to keep renting this property out?

Do you still have this property? I'm close to there.
