To one sitting on the outside looking in, it seems flipping houses for a living is nothing more than an illusion. Nothing more than a television show giving you before and after photos of properties that have been renovated.
However, for some, the dream to flip houses full time has become a real life scenario. And to these few, they understand that there's more to flipping homes than just fixing up the property to resell. For those that are successful, there are three steps to making the business work for you.
1. Finding the leads.
Be sure constantly market your business to get more deals in your funnel. This is where most investors drop the ball when it comes to starting a successfull flipping business.
This involves marketing and constantly being on the lookout for potential properties. And without actively promoting and marketing your business, then you're going to never get involved. You're going to be left sitting on the sidelines while the people around you are profiting from red hot, smoking deals every month.
2. Converting the deals.
Once you market your business, you'll start getting leads of red hot motivated sellers begging you to buy their homes. So, next you'll want to pre-qualify your seller to make sure they're motivated. And then you've got to listen to your seller to make a win-win offer. The more information that you collect on the phone call or by your website, the more time you will save.
3. Master the exit strategy.
Finally, you're ready to sell the deal to turn a profit. Although this is the final step, you should have a plan before ever making the offer to your seller.
Here are some options to consider as your exit strategy:
a. Do you plan to sell it fast to another investor that will fix then flip the property to a homeowner?
b. Do you plan to flip the deal to a landlord/ investor that buys property for the long term?
c. Would any other investors that you know be interested in the deal you have?
Success depends on how quickly you can sell the property. Work to build solid relationships with real estate investor buyers in your local market because these investors are always on the lookout for more deals.
Negotiate a good enough deal so that you can leave some money on the table for your buyer. Investors don't care if you make a profit as long as the deal makes sense for them.
