The Flip Method

Having grown up in a small town of five to six thousand residents, I totally appreciate life's simplicities. This work was created to simplify what most people would complicate: a house renovation with the goal of flipping. To be honest, real estate is a very complicated field with multiple sub-industries that do not necessarily correlate. Yet the home renovation and house flipping industry has, in recent times, gotten the general population excited about real estate investing. I like to call it the rebranding of an industry. House flipping has a silver lining so rarely mentioned that many active flippers do not fully understand the advantages until putting in several years of work. This is because the benefits of flipping are almost always seen as huge profit margins. Big profits are absolutely obtainable, but they are actually not the best benefit nor reason to start a house flipping business. The key to expanding any business is leverage. Flipping homes consistently helps you gain experience. That experience can then be used as a bargaining tool with lending institutions to allow you to leverage, or get financing, for larger and larger sums of money. Going into house flipping to make vast profits is not a strategy that fits the business model of 2020 and beyond. While liquidity (cash on hand) expedites one's ability to acquire properties, the access to leverage allows one to buy larger, more valuable and usually more profitable assets. For example, if you could put up $100,000 of your cash and gain control of $1 million worth of properties to renovate, you could end up with a much bigger check to deposit. The goal of any business is to first understand its industry and then use that knowledge to create a system of processes. If the blood of a business is money, the heart of a business is its systems. One cannot function properly without the other. In the following pages, I will teach you a method for flipping houses that will simplify the way you think about this industry. I will also teach you system design techniques that will place you years ahead of most of your competition. This short book is designed to obliterate your fears and misconceptions of the house-flipping process. It is also a blueprint for checks and balances that you can even use to flip remotely. Thank you for allowing me to share this information with you. This guide is the first of many to come.
