Post: Flipping a house-what is most important

Hey guys. My partner and I @Jim Stoffey

 are having a GC come look at our first potential flip-property on Monday. What are some of the most important things we should look to fix on the property? It needs a complete redo. Currently it is listed at 4 beds and 1 bath but there are two different areas in the house where more bathrooms can be added.

More questions:

1. What is more important? New carpet or adding hardwood floors throughout. 

2. Is the popcorn ceiling throughout a turn off for most buyers? 

3. Should stainless steal appliances be considered or should we stick to cheaper options in the kitchen?

4. Should we consider painting the house on the outside or let it be? Currently the new door on the property does not match the color of the house. 

I appreciate all responses. 

-Phil

Hey guys, 

My name is Phil Sabella and I am just getting into RE. I am 23 years old and from the Philadelphia Area. I was wondering what is the best way to go about finding multi-family properties? Are MLS okay or should I be looking for more private brokers. Does anyone have any advice on using a 1031 exchange? Looking forward to hearing from you guys.
