How to invest in a Flip w/ no Money

[Caleb Johnson]

Investment Info:

Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

Purchase price: $350
Cash invested: $1

I partnered on this deal with a fellow BP member. I reached out to them and we connected over the phone. I started by adding value and giving him my contacts for the people I was going to us for flipping. He is a go getter so he called them right away. I then asked him if he might like to partner on something and he said he wouldn’t be opposed.

Fast forward 3 months, we are half way done with our first flip. We found it through a wholesaler. My partner invested the downpayment and other monitory costs, he is managing the property while I am backup if we need a second pair of hands on something.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I will use the profits from flipping to purchase cash flowing rentals.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Through a local wholesaler.

We just jumped on the price when we could. Houses now are flying off the shelves in 30 mins.

How did you finance this deal?

Through a partner and hard money lender.

How did you add value to the deal?

Providing connections that saved us money and as a second pair of hands on the rehab/Managment.

What was the outcome?

Currently doing it.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Prepare, get permits first and order anything bug you will need up front.
