How To Flip Cheap Seattle Investment Property For Cash Money

By Mel Nakamitsu

The process of flipping a house can be compared to a carefully orchestrated routine. You'll need to get the best seattle investment property and people you can get a hold of while strictly adhering to the rules set in place. As in any house flip, fixes are necessary before a property can be sold again for a profit.

When you've bought a home to flip there will usually be some repairs and maintenance to keep up. For high profits to be possible and to be able to sell the house easily all the major and aesthetic repairs have to be set as a top priority. This entails getting the service of trained professionals to do the necessary estimates and repairs to get your property renovated. Keep in mind as well that you will need extra help in the removing of debris from your property.

Before you even think of flipping an seattle investment property, with respect to clearing out, any remaining refuse from where the property was acquired must be discarded. To do this, getting a crew of workers and with some help from your buddies would really come in handy so you can clear out the dirt and rubble quickly and start working on a clean house. You wouldn't want your friends to be bored so while they're at it have them tear down old sheetrock or rubble you want removed. This goes for pulling out old cabinets, trim and moulding around the house too.

The next logical step is to appease the other local homeowners by mowing the lawn. It's likely your cheap house hasn't had a lot of lawn maintenance in recent months and this will show the neighborhood that someone is finally taking steps to improve the lot. If you plan on redoing the kitchen, now might also be the time to bring in an architect for bigger jobs or a kitchen designer for a smaller job to help you create an appealing workspace for the buyer. Finish two tasks at once by getting plumbers and electricians finish the plumbing and wiring skeleton while you get your new furniture.

If you'll be employing both a plumber and an electrician, make sure they work on different schedules so they won't impede each other's work. Some plumbers and electricians though can coexist in projects like this without any problems. The next job after all the wiring and plumbing belongs to a carpenter. The carpenter will put in new doors, fix wood siding and even add new trim for you.

To finish off a carpenter's job, the contractor comes back in to rebuild the sheet rock demolished from the old house which is then re-fitted with the required plumbing and wiring. Paint your house, add new fixtures and you are ready to sell. As a final word to a successful flipping of an seattle investment property, always have the lawn in check and maintained as this is the first thing a potential buyer sees. - 29970
