Remodeled my first flip TWICE before selling...double the experience and lessons learned! First GC got 70% complete, changed his name and vanished. Second GC undid all the work and started from scratch. Still walked away with a whopping $3500 profit! Thank goodness we bought it right.

MLS. Originally listed for $149k. Sat on market for 4 months before they dropped to $125k. That is when I offered $90k. They went under contract with another 2 investors, each who backed out after inspections. We knew he was a frustrated seller who did not want his time wasted again
