Arizona Fix and Flip Loans: Why you need to look past the property lin

With , you don't want to borrow against a house won't sell in the end. Why don't you consider factors outside the house before you put in an offer? Looking past the front yard for things that could doom your project from the start.

No matter how good a deal might seem, and no matter how attractive the result of your rehab project, certain homes will only sell after pigs take flight. Location, location and location, yes this cardinal rule of real-estate holds for flips as well, but its more like location, location, and properties in specific areas will never sell.

Properties next to ugly sights: Say a house flipper combs through the listings, and there's a foreclosed home listed at, only 75 thousand, He's looked over the description and seen some photos of the interior, the project should be short work.

Before putting in an offer, she visits the location only to discover something smells, a strange spectacled woman dressed in sackcloth has been emptying her litter boxes into the backyard of the house. Well, 225 in resale profits it seems to be deal is just too good to pass up. Our investor calls the police and the neighbor is promptly cited. Yes, the litter box disposal activities stop but now our investors made an enemy. After work on the house is done, and buyers begin to show up, the woman is dancing, menacingly half naked on the front lawn. She calls the police again, but the woman is not doing anything illegal, she's just humming spinning in circles, which isn't against the law.
