I love flipping properties, watching a place that needs love and maintenance go to being a home. My husband and I have always bought personal family homes that require us to fix it up. Once we are done we move on to the next project.

Last year Tom and I bought a real flip property, we did not live in it, but went their everyday to fix it up to a place that someone can proudly call home. It was a wonderful home in Jones Dairy Farm on Jumper Drive. We made $8,000.00 dollars on it. Today we are looking at a property in Youngsville that we could do the same. This home is alittle bit more work and would require removal and replacement of windows, flooring and many other items. It’s alittle but scarey because someone had come in and took shots at the house with a gun- my thoughts great house, great bones, but will someone come back and do the same damage when we are done causing more damage and money out the window?

My experience with flipping properties is that unless you have a lot of money to spend on properties in higher price ranges you probably will not make a lot  of money. I am like, I am sure a lot of other people who are interested in flipping watch the TV programs that demonstrate flipping- I envy those flippers that are making $100,000.00 to $20,000.00 on each flip that they do. My husband and I do the little house, no we don’t make alot of money but it’s money we did’nt have before and the houses sell quickly when we are done because the homes we flip are in price ranges under $175,000.00.

The other thing that I learned is to have lots of knowledge on what repairs will cost, be willing to do alot of the work yourself or be able to find cheap and knowledgeable contractors. Be ready to make offers really fast and learn how to make them competitive
