A OTTEST

The ever so popular fix and flip! Everyone wants to be a tv star and nobody really has a clue what they are doing. Long before the phrase became a thing, we were flipping houses – a LOT of houses! We flip about 80 homes a year and although we used to cover a few different markets, we have moved all our resources into one area to streamline our processes.

Most of you have probably succumbed to the flipping bug and while some of you have made money, most of you have failed. Why? Because reality tv is a far cry from actual reality! Flipping houses for a margin that makes it worth your time and trouble takes a lot of hard work and even more stress.

When investors and our partners first come to us, they look at our profit margins and have a tough time believing it and with good reason. There is a method to the madness, which requires a lot of experience to learn and finesse to keep on track. It starts with the market you are investing in and making sure you aren’t competing with the hedge funds in the same game. As we say, it is not how you sell the property, it is how you buy the property. Yes, upgrades are an important part of the process as well, but if you overpaid for the property in the first place, game over.

Strategic investors and partners quickly realize why we are in the market we are in. They understand that we are the big dog at the park in our market and have the finesse to balance acquisitions with an understated level of upgrades, so as to not squeeze out your profits. Our bathrooms may look like they cost a fortune, when in reality we have been stacking $15 tile we picked up for 50 cents months earlier. When you work with SPI, cost of goods are not the same as they are for Joe Smith, who is flipping 3 homes a year.
