Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Investing in a Fixer Property And Disputes Mortgages and Foreclosures Locality DIY or a Contractor Do It? When Should You Buy a Fixer Taking Professional Advice Selling It or Renting It out Buying Foreclosed property My Property Is Going to Appreciate… The ABC's of Property Expansion Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction It was somewhere around the early 90s, when I was on annual vacation and I found out that my aunt and my cousin were not coming back from the USA for their yearly visit home. It seems aunt had bought a new property, and my favorite cousin M. and aunt and all their network of friends were busy remodeling it, re-furnishing it, refurbishing it, to make something really market worthy. She would be arriving next year, after she had made a really handsome profit out of this fixer-upper property, and she did just that. This was in the 90s. It is only in 2020, that I found out that more and more people have woken up to the fact that they just have to invest in a property, buy it, modify it, fix it up, remodel it, and then sell it at a handsome profit. This book is going to tell you all about whether it is sensible to buy a fixer-upper property, under which circumstances you should buy it, under which circumstances you should definitely not think of investing your money in a fixer-upper property and other tips and techniques based on experience. Well, aunt did not mind taking the help of professionals, to remodel those properties. Her own daughter was an architect, fresh out of Berkeley. Her daughter’s friends were all eager new creative architects, who knew everything about building, plans, and what could be done to a house which needed a facelift. Living in the very welcoming city of San Leandro, and in a very friendly neighborhood, she did not mind that the neighbors arrived occasionally to do a little bit of carpentry, on the weekend. A neighbor’s daughter who was an interior decorator just loved the idea of having rooms on which to practice. Within one year, that job was done and aunt made such a handsome profit, that three years later, again, she was busy “sorry, I cannot come this year. I have just picked up another property going cheap and I intend to send it at a very handsome profit.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let’s face it—fixing and flipping houses is sexy. Who doesn’t love the idea of buying a rundown, mold-infested shack and transforming it into someone’s dream home for massive profits? Reality TV shows make it look so easy. A little paint here, some new kitchen cabinets there, and presto! The house is sold for big bucks and everyone lives happily ever after. If only it were that simple. Fixing and flipping houses is a business. In order for a business to survive, prosper, and grow, systems must be put in place. Fixing and Flipping Real Estate: Strategies for the Post-Boom Era is a book that breaks down the four essential components of a fix-and-flip business, giving you the building blocks to efficiently buy and sell 1 to 20 properties a month in today’s post-boom era housing market. You’ll learn about each of the boxes: Acquisition—How to find and buy a profitable real estate deal. Rehabbing—How to systematically remodel a house and how not to underimprove, or overimprove, your property. Sales—How to sell your flip for the highest possible price in the shortest possible time. Raising Capital—How to get the capital you need to grow your business, including using other people’s money, for your real estate deals without getting sued or going to jail. In the post-real estate boom era, fixing and flipping is again a solid business--especially in the “sand” states—Arizona, California, Nevada, Texas, and Florida, among others. It’s also a good bet in states as diverse as North Carolina and Washington State. And with the real estate market projected to bottom out nationally in 2012 (this time for real), there are plenty of houses to be renovated and plenty of money to be made by the enterprising in all fifty states. This book shows real estate investors everything they need to know to get started fixing and reselling houses either as a substantial sideline or a full-on business.
