Fix-and-Flips During the Holiday Season: Opportunity or Challenge?

[Clint Miller]

The holiday season is almost here, and for many real estate investors, it brings both unique opportunities and potential challenges. Some investors say it’s the perfect time to get deals done, while others prefer to wait until the new year.

What’s your strategy for managing fix-and-flip projects during the holiday months?

Do you find it’s easier or harder to close deals this time of year?

How do you handle contractor schedules and supply chain slowdowns?

Have you found creative ways to market properties when buyers may be more focused on the holidays?

What’s your strategy for managing fix-and-flip projects during the holiday months?

Do you find it’s easier or harder to close deals this time of year?

Easier... better deals, people just want to let go with properties on the market for awhile 

How do you handle contractor schedules and supply chain slowdowns?

These days after the supply chain issues of 2020-2022, the slowdown on the holiday season really does not hurt anything

Have you found creative ways to market properties when buyers may be more focused on the holidays?

fix them up well, and list them at a good fair market price (this goes back to what your ARV was to begin with), and get that on the market (lower is better to build up to that price, and attract more buyers)!
