The Ultimate Guide to Buying & Flipping Homes

Flipping homes can be a lucrative investment

.... but success comes down to strategy, budgeting, and market knowledge. If you're thinking about diving into the world of buy-and-flip real estate, here’s what you need to know:

1. Finding the Right Property

The best flips start with the right buy. Look for homes in high-demand, appreciating areas where renovated homes sell quickly. Key factors to consider:
✔️ Location: Proximity to schools, amenities, and job hubs
✔️ Price: Buying below market value ensures room for profit
✔️ Potential: Look for cosmetic fixer-uppers over structural nightmares

2. Financing Your Flip

Flipping isn’t just about cash buyers—there are financing options available. We work with preferred lenders who offer construction and renovation loans, helping investors maximize their buying power. These loans can cover both the purchase price and renovation costs, reducing upfront expenses.

3. Budgeting & the 70% Rule

A key to flipping success is understanding your numbers:
After Repair Value (ARV): The estimated market value after renovations
The 70% Rule: Your total investment (purchase + renovation) shouldn’t exceed 70% of the ARV
Hidden Costs: Factor in permits, holding costs, insurance, and selling expenses

4. Smart Renovations for Maximum ROI

The goal is to increase value without overspending. Prioritize:
✔️ Kitchens & Bathrooms – High-impact areas for buyers
✔️ Flooring & Paint – Affordable yet transformative
✔️ Curb Appeal – First impressions matter!

Avoid over-personalized upgrades—stick to modern, neutral designs that appeal to the largest buyer pool.

5. Selling for Maximum Profit

Once your flip is ready, the goal is to sell quickly to avoid holding costs.
