    My biggest tip for house flipping is buy with your head and not your heart. That goes for all the fixtures and fittings too.
    Also renting them out at the end can be a thankless task, the renovation is the most rewarding part.
    Good luck!

    Coming from a someone who grew up flipping, and still do it with my parents- you're going to need more money than you'll think, it's going to take longer than you'll think, you will get stressed out way more than you think you will, and things will absolutely go wrong at some point. If you plan on keeping and renting also be prepared for anything and everything you worked so hard on to be completely destroyed, either on purpose or by accident. But it is a lot of fun and the feeling of accomplishment when you finish is worth it 🙂

    • @misszt
      @misszt 3 роки тому +1

      this!!! I dont own a house but the rental properties I've seen where the tenants have destroyed a house is heartbreaking. One because I didnt then want the house and two because the landlords then have to fork out thousands more! High rent and a big deposit will hopefully secure tenants that are of age and maturity. Xx

    • @breannahorton
      @breannahorton 3 роки тому +1

      @@misszt Unfortunately high rent/deposit isn't usually a deterrent, we've seen the best luck pricing just at or under market to get more applications to choose from and really putting a lot of effort into the interviews and checking references. Depending on the area higher rent usually just means a lot of young people moving in together to split the rent, and they often cause a lot of accidental damage simply because they don't know something or they have large groups of friends that come over/party. Getting a tenant in at just below market helps a lot in finding a great person who wants to stay long term or would be persuaded to stay longer as its the best house in their budget/cheapest in the area, which in turn also usually has them taking better care of the house because they know they don't plan on leaving.

    We have just bought our first home and it was a massive project. We did everything ourself from electrics to flooring to plastering. We have added 40k value to our house which is nice to know but we don’t want to move now after all the hard work ❤️ I will say it’s extremely time consuming even if it’s just decorating so be mindful of that with having a small child. Not as easy as people think but it is very rewarding x

    Investment property is a rental and flipping houses is used in the Uk. I do both, we have rental and flip. You have to remember when doing the houses up, you are not doing it to live in and want the most profit so do it well but cheaper than if you were going to live there.

    Even though the new house reno would be fun, I feel like I’d say don’t do it with a small child. It’s so time consuming and time away from your baby when you could wait a few years till she’s in preschool etc. I just say that because we did a whole house up with a baby, and one of us could NEVER help, because - baby, so it was always just my husband doing all the work, talking to builders etc as I had to take care of the baby/ toddler and the whole project became quite a chore tbh 🙃

    Flipping a house is great In principle for example at the moment the house market is booming so houses are going for more than they are probably worth (bad if you want to make reasonable profit when you sell on) however the issue is labour is also going up as is the price of materials. I just bought my first house and the quote I got to build a 2 foot wall to put a window back in instead of french doors was £1500 when it should be about £300 so some small things to bare in mind 🤷🏻‍♀️
