How to Get In On The “Fix and Flip” Market?
This is the subject of many home improvement series on HG TV. How do they tackle the project? Here are the steps all “flippers” follow:
1. Order a dumpster for the next ten days and get your demolition man to throw out everything including the kitchen sink. In other words, clear the decks.
2. After the house is cleared of debris, it’s time to patch and paint. Let your painters blast the place with their airless paint-spraying arsenal inside and out. Within three days, you’ll have added a huge improvement to your investment. This is the biggest dollar-for-dollar return you can make. Make sure that quality paint is used.
3. After the painters leave, the flooring guys can lay tile and carpet, which will take two to three days.
4. Next bring in the cabinet installers and handyman plumber.
5. Last comes light fixtures, vanities, toilets, sinks, doors, switch plates and outlet covers.
Simple process that could yield a good profit.
