When realtors have to write…
“THIS IS NOT A FORECLOSURE” in their ads!!!
This market is inundated with foreclosed homes.
So how do you make money flipping homes in this market???
Here’s what I’m doing…
First off, banks are not in the remodeling business. They basically just clean these homes out and that’s it. We have BOAT LOADS of ranch houses and small Capes that need updating. Americans are LAZY, we all know that, they don’t want to remodel something, and SAVE MONEY?? That’s work…
Are you all right???
NOPE…not for me they say. They want TURN KEY HOMES!!!
I buy these little dumps. Put in Maple Kitchen cabinets or use my favorite Lakeside moulding cabinet doors. I always use nice crown mouldings on the cabinets (for the aristocrat first time home buyer) Drop in a granite counter top with under mount sink, and finish it off with a new Stainless Steel Frig and Stove!!!
BOOM!! Sold to the lazy buyer in 6 DAYS!!! Had 3 people who wanted the last one. Found 2 of them similar homes and just did the exact same “lazy buyer rehab.” 3 homes sold in a total of 68 days!!!
This is working because the MAJORITY of the bank owned homes in this area are DUMPS that need cosmetics. When something looks really GREAT it completely stands out. Add to this the days of never ending home equity loans are long gone. This creates a smaller pool of nicely rehabbed homes for sale. The reason??? They pulled out all the equity a couple of years ago and can’t get what they owe, or they bought stupid sh*t with their equity and have NONE left!!! Either way…it works for me!!
If you can make money rehabbing homes NOW??? Your gonna be fine!!!
