I use the 'Flip Analysis' from BP to get a general understanding of how to achieve the targeted profit. Note that the cost of flipping includes: holding the property (insurance, tax, utility, etc), sale of the property (marketing, agent fees etc.), financial charges and rehab cost. And of course your purchase price + closing cost. It could add up pretty fast! Do the math and reserve some contingency.

Good luck!

Hello Joe, Family is the main reason. Being architect demands too much travel. I want to spend more time with kids... I feel architect and realtor are two interesting professionals under the big umbrella of RE. Expertise is the key to success. I am learning and learning fast! :)

I am an Architect and Realtor registered in Texas. I have been living in DFW area since 2004. I am very excited to know about the platform of BP and want to be connected! I did a few flips and rentals myself. I am now a full-time Realtor working with investors. I know North Dallas, Plano, North Carrollton very well.

My ultimate dream is to do design-builds, that are innovative and well respond to people's need...

Looking forward to know you!

Hello and welcome! I am from and grew up in Dallas. I graduated from North Texas and got my broker license in 1980. I have been in the construction business since I was 17. If you think I can be any help to you please contact me anytime. Good luck!

Hello Michael,
