I'm looking for a friendly person that laughs a lot to work with me on my next flip. Healthy and strong enough to hold things, measure, bang in stuff, and move stuff. Best for a single person with no kids and works part-time or semi-retired already close to Champaign IL so you can be at the house a lot for the time I'm there. If you just help me on the big projects that would be enough for both of us or learn it all. I don't plan on being at the house more than 60 days. I typically can do an entire gut/full remodel in around 45 days +/- depending on how already habitable the house is when I take it over - which I never know because I mostly purchase As-Is no prior to inspection so more fun with all the little expensive gifts I find throughout the process. Oh, and I work Monday-Sunday lots of hours. I still haven't met a contractor better than me, well maybe more experienced and skilled, but flipping is a time/money beast. If you move slow you are just losing money and your own precious time plus more stress until payday - closing. I'm from VA. I'll be sleeping in my van or a room in a sleeping bag with my dog. You are welcome to crash with me for 2 months and party on the weekends. Yes I know. It's gonna be cold. I've got a space heater ;)
As my personal intern I'm not going to talk about a lot of stuff you can obviously read in books and watch on youtube. I'm going to show and teach you hands on and give you access to my living google spreadsheets with REAL numbers. Trust me, I just bought the Bigger Pockets books. 4 of them. I'm already not impressed with the first two I wasted $50 on after being psyched listening to 400 FOUR HUNDRED podcasts while doing a freight carrier business over the road. The podcasts, for what they are, ARE much better time spent listening to all of them then the fluffed books. If you want to get into flipping or the BRRR thing you really need to know your numbers and experience working with ******* contractors to be confident to put the guys in check.
The house you'll be working on with me is a 770 sqft bungalow 1/1 turning into a 2/2. Total remodel. You'll get hands on carpentry, plumbing, electrical, drywall, roofing, decks, painting, trim, kitchen build, installing windows/doors, headers/walls, all the bells and whistles. You'll see real numbers, ALL the numbers, on an active spreadsheet that's super organized and you can keep a copy for yourself too! It computes real ARV, gross, net, the profit you actually keep so you have really great estimates going into any project without regrets later (unless the market crashes hard WATCH OUT, plus no annual additional cost! ;)
About me:
I'm a guy, 41, bought/rented/sold real estate since I was 25. I've owned homes, condos, mobile home park, land lots, and only recently the past 2 years been flipping single family homes. All profitable. I'm ex-Coast Guard, single, and just a dog parent and he goes everywhere with me. I just look for deals regardless where they are at I will go there to make a years worth of a salary.
Payment for you! Yes possible. If you came everyday and really wanted to learn all the trades to know the contractor process I could offer a GROSS 2% of total closing sales price of home written in contract. Not a lot but it's something. I could just charge YOU 100/hr for my consulting time. So look at it that way. I don't know what that crystal ball will say but I plan on listing it in March 2022 between $79-109k. If you only come on the big projects for a few days here or there it would be no pay and you can help me out where needed and come see the flip whenever you want to just pop in, ask questions, and I'd be willing to go over any deals you are interested in with my spreadsheets you could still keep for free. If you really want to take a BIG leap heres a BIG chance to put you in the front seat of flipping really really ugly houses into beauties. Here are two below I've finished recently.
If you need to know more or want to apply message me and reply to this posting. I also do flips in VA if you are local there.
