7 tips for beginner fix and flippers One of the
keys to being successful in real estate is
spotting properties that have potential and
fixing and flipping them before your competitors
do. This is a great way to maximize your returns
on investment. However, while seeming like an
easy job, fixing and flipping properties can be
a more complicated process and there are a few
things you should keep in mind. Here are Sunset
Equitys 7 tips for beginner fix and
flippers Make friends with a contractor Knowing
which properties will be the best investment for
you is important in the real estate industry.
Therefore, having a contractor you trust is
vitally important. As a fix and flipper, you are
going to need a contractor that has a lot of
experience and is able to accurately make
estimates on properties so that you are able to
quickly decide on your next investment. Know
your strengths and weaknesses Often times people
think that putting in their own physical capital
to flip a property will save them a lot of
money. This is the case when you are able to
adequately take the place of the expensive labor
that comes with construction. Keeping this in
mind, you should assess your strengths in
weaknesses before you begin a project to see if
you can complete all of the tasks you set out to
do in order to flip your property. This is very
important because if not assessed correctly, you
might end up paying for outside help that is
beyond your budget. Build a relationship with a
realtor Along with your relationship with your
contractor, your relationship with your realtor
is equally important. You need a realtor who
knows exactly what you are looking for,
accurately estimates what it will cost to flip
the property, and knows the strengths of the
property that will make it sell. Additionally,
they should have your back and help you secure a
property at a bargain price. Inspect the house
first Not having a property inspection for
real-estate you are investing in is one of the
biggest mistakes you can make. Without an
inspection, you are unable to assess what needs
to be fixed to make the property habitable as
well as all as the costs for additionally
adjustments in the renovation process. Know your
financial plan Buying a house and fixing it for
yourself is very different from buying a house
just to put back on the market. This is because
fix and flips are short term investments. In
order to

maximize your profit, you should buy and fix the
house for significantly less than what you are
going to sell it for on the market. Look into
different financing options Most fix and
flippers do not have the funds available to
adequately purchase, renovate, and resell their
intended property, so they look to third-party
options such as lenders. There are a variety of
different options. First there are conventional
or traditional lenders which have low rates and
are backed by the bank. Second there are private
hard- money lenders which approve loans a lot
quicker since it is focused on collateral and
have more flexible loans than traditional
lenders. Check your surroundings As many people
know, the neighborhood a property is in can
significantly change the price. Therefore as a
smart fix and flipper you should look to invest
in properties in up and coming neighborhoods
were change is happening. Ideally investing in
properties that are surrounded by other
properties that have been fixed and flipper is
the move. Additionally make sure to look for
places that are not too close to a busy streets
or excessive noise. Here at Sunset Equity, we
