Pro Tip:
Always build a cushion into your budget for unexpected costs. A good rule of thumb is to add 10-20% to your estimated renovation budget. Budget, budget, budget!
Study the neighborhood. Understand what buyers want in that area and how much they’re willing to pay. Look at recent comps and try to identify trends.
Focus on improvements that add the most value. Kitchens and bathrooms usually offer the best return on investment. Avoid high-end finishes like granite, marble, etc. in a mid-range market.
Build a reliable team of professionals, including contractors, real estate agents, and inspectors. Their expertise can save you time, money, and headaches in the long run.
Being organized can make a huge difference in your flipping success.
