Fix and Flip Must Use Finishes and Fixtures

[Robert Frazier]

I am learning about Fix and Flip strategies (I've only done developments).

I want to grow my income from Real Estate while working on developments (ie waiting for zoning, permits and building)

What have become your go to finishes for fix and flips to maximize value? I'm looking at the bottom third of the market to focus (in Boise that is under $450k). 

Are you doing butcher block, quartzite or masonite for counter tops? What color are you painting your stock cabinets? What flooring choices are best bang for buck in each area of the house? Finishes for fixtures? (Brass, brushed nickel, etc).

Love to hear how others are making these decisions.

Some flippers use the same finishes on each project, however, the best way (in my opinion) is to flip with the comps.  This way you dont overdo it or under do it for any given project. Just copy or use similar finishes to what has sold in the area. There are some exceptions in each market where the neighborhood is really nice and there are a huge variety of finishes / price points but I still would want to be with the comps of whatever price point I am shooting for.
