Uncovering the Fix and Flip Strategy

If you are looking to get started in the real estate market but don’t know where to start, you’re in the right place. Today we will guide you through the process of fix and flip rentals from start to finish. Fix and flip is essentially finding a distressed home and fixing it up to sell for a profit.

1. Finding the Right Property

No matter which real estate investment strategy you are using location will always be the most important step in the process. The location is crucial as it may indicate whether your property goes up or down in value if the property will sell or not and much more. For this particular strategy, you want to look for torn-up distressed properties that need a little to a lot of work done on them, but be sure to find them in a good location. A good location is a desirable neighborhood or area that has been going up in value.

2. Financing the Purchase

Great you have found the property and it’s in a great location, what next? The next thing you must do is find financing for the purchase or a loan. This loan is not like your traditional mortgages as when you do a fix and flip you are often fixing up the property in 1-4 months and selling it immediately after. Be sure to get a loan for the house but also be ready to pay the down payment and even the renovation costs.

3. Renovating The Property

Once you have purchased the property you are ready to get the “fun” part started. When you begin renovating you first have to assess the needed condition upgrades and see how much it will cost. Focus on key components of the house allowing the house to add more value. For renovating you can either hire a contractor to do it or if you want to save a little money you can learn how to do some renovations to keep more of the profits.

4. Selling the Property

So you have finished renovating the property now what? Well, the next step is selling the property. If you complete the renovations early or on time be sure to begin the selling process as soon as possible as this allows you to keep more of the profits. Once your house is ready to be listed on the market be sure to contact a real estate agent (if you aren’t one) as this will make selling your house easier and faster. Urgency is key when selling the property.

5. Closing the deal and Learning

Almost there, you have got an offer and are closing the deal on the property. Once you have accepted the offer your real estate agent will take it from there and finish finalizing everything. Once the sale is complete you can collect your profits and repeat the process. After each deal be sure to evaluate how it went hiccups you had along the way and learn to improve each time to maximize earnings. By learning each time you can become a master at fix and flips and be able to get them done in under 3 months unlike the average 6 months it usually takes.
