How to Best Design your Fix and Flip House

Congratulations! You’ve just won a new-to-you home at your local county foreclosure auction with our help of course. It’s exciting! You probably already have a million ideas swirling around in your head on how best to recoup your investment and to fix and flip for a profit with this new property. But before you get pulled into a dozen different directions, and spend even a single penny, I want you to stop for a minute and focus on this basic question. What simple design modifications can you make to this home to broaden its appeal to a wide audience of potential home-buyers? Ultimately more buyer interest leads to a higher sale price, and more money for you!

That’s exactly what I’m going to talk to you about today.

Firstly, I am not suggesting that doing a fix and flip project is a simple venture. Far from it. You already know from the walk through that you have a significant list of repairs – some of them may even be quite extensive Looking over your scope of work for the project you know there’s a lot of work to do. What I’m suggesting is that there are certain home modifications that you can make during the rehab process that will elevate your property over others in your market and make it more inviting to the largest number of people possible.

Let’s take a look at some home repair design tips to help you make the most from your investment!

Wall & Floor Room Color Schemes

Room themes are great for personalizing your home space. They are definitely not desired when you’re going to be putting a home on the market. Remember that you are trying to make the home look as appealing as possible to the largest number of potential buyers. While you might be convinced that purple walls with gold trim present the perfect royal touch, it’s unlikely that your opinion is shared by the majority of house hunters. Your best bet is to stick with neutral colors such as beige, cream, white or grey. This will make your rooms more inviting than bold colors, and you will find it easier to coordinate decorations throughout the space when and if you go with home staging. You can easily add a splash of color to any room by adding artwork, photos and plants. Be creative! Just because the walls are toned down doesn’t mean that the area should be boring.

Focus on the Kitchen!

The kitchen is the heart of any home. It brings families together. It welcomes guests for all occasions. It should come as no surprise, then, that kitchen updates are the best bang for your buck. Be sure to allocate a generous portion of your repair budget to modernizing the kitchen. New counter tops that are quartz or granite, sinks and cabinets are highly coveted by potential home buyers. Don’t forget the lighting. After all the time and money you’ve spent on this area, you’ll want to show it off. Don’t skimp on the appliances, make sure they look good!
