Investor FAQ: Fix & Flip Properties

Have you been considering a fix-and-flip property? Do you have questions?  Well you’re in the right place. I’m here to tackle some of the most common questions I get about this real estate strategy.  Let me know if you have others I don’t touch on here. ⁣

Q: Is real estate still a good investment in 2021?⁣

A: Real estate is a great investment. Why? It almost always appreciates over time.  While there are occasional fluctuations, the rate of appreciation typically outpaces annual inflation.⁣

Q: What is a fix and flip?⁣

A: Fixing and flipping is when someone purchases a property, remodels it to add value and then lists it to sell. Think HGTV’s Flip or Flop.⁣

Q: What’s the best way to find a fix and flip?⁣

A: You’ll want to do your homework.  For example, research the area, study sold prices, and get a feel for what buyers are looking for.  Also, network with agents and attorneys who may be aware of properties in your area.⁣

Q: What should I look for in a fix and flip house? ⁣

A: If it’s your first flip, look for a decent floor plan (nothing too quirky), a newer build, the right location, and easy value-add potential (new flooring, paint, appliances, yard work, etc.).⁣

Q: What do I do if I want to learn more?⁣

A: I’m so glad that you asked!  All you need to do is send me a message.  I love helping new investors purchase their first investment properties.  Reach out and let me pull some properties for you to review today!
