Successful Fix and Flip

To be successful with a fix and flip first and foremost you must buy the home right. If you pay too much to start with, no amount of fixing will help. You must know your market area, know the value of the home when it is all fixed up. Generally you must buy the home for 70% of market value or less to make it pay off. 50% of value if there are major repairs needed. Paint is cheap, but it wont fix a roof!

Have a home inspector look at the house before you buy it. He will generate lists of repair items. You will have to prioritize that list, if you decide to buy the fixer upper. You will have to have either your own money to buy the home in most cases. After you are the owner it is much easier to get a loan for the repairs.

Rehab Your Way To Success

Rehabbing is the method of beautifying a rundown house. Investors do this in order to resell the property for quick profit. Most investors buy a property at a discounted price and then fix it up in order to sell it for a higher value. The property is usually a rundown house that needs repairs, hence the low price.
