Hi Neelam, it is great that you're ready to get started. The fix and flip strategy can be a profitable venture if you've done everything correctly. You may want to make sure that you follow these top 4 tips that I have:


1. Do your research - Before purchasing a property, make sure you conduct thorough research on the location, the property's condition, and the potential cost of repairs. This will help you make an informed decision on whether the property is a good investment.

2. Know your renovation budget - You don't wanna overdo or underdo a property. Focus on the right improvements that will add value to your property.

3. Know your after repair value - The goal of flipping is to make money so you have to make sure you're not covering your all-in cost and you're actually making a profit

4. Time your sale right - When the market is favorable and the demand for housing is increasing, that's the best time to do it. This can help you avoid having to list your property for too long. Hope this helps and best wishes to your real estate journey!
