Replacing a Broken Glass

Sometimes while flipping these houses, we run across windows that have a broken pane. I know one of the first places we look is the Do-It-Yourself site. It has many articles for your project and if you take your time then you can get the project done all by yourself. I know this site has come in handy for us on more than one occassion.

Coupons for Home Depot

While working on our current flip, I ran across and site that has several Home Depot coupons. If your shopping for appliances or planning on having something shipped, you might want to check out CouponWinner.com.

Yahoo News reported some wealthy areas that are being hit with the foreclosuring dilemma that faces this nation. Some of which included different areas in California and Miami Beach. Apparently with this spread of financial problems across the United States, no one is safe!

Another Flip This Past Year.....

Here are a couple before and after pics of a flip we did about 6 months ago. My favorite transformation was the kitchen and the tiled fireplace. It was a split-level home we purchased for $42,000, put approximately $18,000 in it and sold it for $108,000. That was a profit of $48,000.

And some end results..........

First house we flipped

So here are some pictures of the first house we ever flipped. It was exciting, yet we were scared out of minds. We tried to find something that was simple and not going to dig into our pockets too much. I believe we gave approximately $32,000 for the house and put around $10,000 in the remodeling. We put it on the market for $80,000 and took an offer for $75,000. So we made a profit of around $30,000 after other fees.

I've added the before shots first......

And here are the results!!!

Purchased a another house to flip!

Ok, so we finally closed on another house this week, and we will start on it Monday. First thing will be doing is making a list of what renovations need to take place. It is pretty much cleaned out except for some appliances. So won't have to do that. Thank goodness! I will take some pictures of before and after and post them on here soon. I will also be listing our deals we find for remodeling. Keep coming back for more......

Thank you for your email!!!
