Part Time REI

  Did you know that the National Association of Realtors® has created a separate department tracking how real estate agents use technology and its development? The ongoing study was updated in June. The national survey asked realtors specifically about the technology they use and how important it is to their business. We bring this up […]

One of the memorable things about The Money “Drain” House is that it had a patio outside the walkout basement door that filled up with water when it rained and the water leaked into the basement.  This of course happened AFTER our team bought it.  So, our team had to fix a problem that we had not planned on […]

As real estate investors, we have all had a laugh or two about a contractor being on time. Deadlines are missed, deliveries late. How can you keep your project and contractors in line? One very important aspect of a successful flip is the creation of a Statement Of Work (SOW). Every project must have one, and […]

  Next in our Before and After Flipping House Series is “The Pool House.”  It is not often that rehabbers can say two words and all their fellow real estate investors know exactly what they are talking about.

If you have done any investing in real estate you have probably had this happen. You are sitting around with other real estate investors and it takes just under 37 seconds before someone mentions how many more fix and flip deals he would be doing if he could just get a loan. Much like after […]

   As you may remember The Retribution House had a lot of cosmetic damage. Click here to see the before shots again. This was actually a plus for this house and for potential flips as cosmetic damage will deter many retail buyers, but can be a great opportunity for flipper.  Our team was able to […]

They say the kitchen is the heart of the home so no wonder it is arguably the most important upgrade when flipping a house. A kitchen that “wows” your potential buyer will help you close the deal no doubt. But be careful, it is also the most easily over-done upgrade many real estate investors make. […]

It happens to the best of us. Mistakes are made, time and money are lost. A bad flip. But don’t feel too bad; even pop star Ricky Martin had a failed flip in 2010. Guess he wasn’t Livin’ La Vida Loca that year. But how can you as a part time real estate investor stay […]
