Post: Pros & Cons of Listing Property End of Year

I agree with what others have said - while I haven't been doing this as long as some, I've listed flips toward the end of the year for the past two years and successfully sold each time. Good luck!

Hello @Peter Mckernan,
These tips are very helpful and will definitely use them on future listings. The house is under contract and i hope we close soon. Thanks!
@Cynthia Leite Not sure how to attach a file here so I just sent it that way, let me know if you'd like to have it via email. Hope that helps.

Thank you all! The finishes are actually better that other listings in the area. I am selling through a realtor since I believe the commission is worth it. We decided to lower the price and hopefully that’ll create some traction.

Hello, I am selling a 4/2 and it's been listed for 23 days with about 6 showings. Feedback has not suggested property needs additional repairs/work, only that they are looking in a different area. Should I lower the price?
@Gerardo Waisbaum I would also be interested, currently a Jax resident, already in the flipping business. Thank you.

@Todd Chandler Hello! I am in the middle of something similar. And I opened a new LLC, new bank account, proceeds will be distributed from the new LLC. I agree with Brian and I'd consult with your tax professional.
My struggle has been on the percentage for each partner since they are bringing 80-90% of the cash (for purchase and renovations) and I am finding the deal, putting the sweat and selling it. What is your agreement in reference to profit distribution? Thank you!
