Flip Project Timeline
Hey BP,
I'm finally doing my first flip. I started off with two out-of-state SFH university rentals to get my toe in the water. Now, I found a hell of a deal in a hot market, and its just about closing time. The project is going to hit the ground running. I have allocated 3 months to this flip and obviously sooner is better, but that is what was budgeted (feel free to give advice on how to improve my timeline). I am listing the projects below and separating them by weekly checkpoints from date of purchase. Again, this is my first flip, so if any process can be maximized better, I would be super thankful for words of wisdom.
Week 1- Demo:
- -Two day rental of Bobcat to remove trees, large decorative rocks, and clear backyard and sideyard fences.
- -Haul away yard debris
- -Mow and spread grass seed on entire yard.
- -Demo kitchen cabinets
- -Remove all fixtures
- -Demo old bathroom tiling and fixtures
- -Have digging/tunneling prepared for sewage line replacement
- -Pressure wash outside of house to prep for paint

- -Vanities/bath fixtures installed
Week 12

- -Install Fencing where needed(using about 80% of the neighbors white pvc fence as a privacy, will match)
- -Paver driveway to be completed
Week 13
- -Stage for marketing photos and open houses
- -Accept offer at 110% of list price
I know this is a brief run over of the work, but any advice in planning/ executing is appreciated. This will be my main focus as work, so I will be at the property daily completing what I can and overseeing subcontractors. Project is in South Florida, i will be sure to document for the community as it progresses. Thanks everybody for making this the best community around!
