If it is a high-end project, I would spend on an actual lIcensed designer. However, most flips are not. I would just go on VRBO (or similar) and look how people design their properties where it really matters (they are trying to rent to daily guests and design/amenities are super important. Also just look online and steal some ideas...I used to Google Luxury Kitchens and then figure out how to do the same for less $$.

You'll be fine with your experience. One thing that I screwed up a few times was this - don't do everything the way YOU like it, try and think like everyman....

Thank you, Bruce

Hi Tio, I don't think hiring a professional designer is wise as it will cut into your margins and sounds like you have a tight budget. Of course, if it is a higher end flip in an expensive area, a professional designer may be necessary. I think a good starting point would be looking at the comps in your area (recently renovated or new construction homes) that sold around your desired sale price and in your desired timeframe and taking inspiration from there design choices.

Thank you, Zachary

Hello everyone,

This is my first post/question. I recently purchased a property with the intention of doing a fix/flip. I'm a contractor based in Maryland and DC, so the renovation aspect is well within my expertise, having done numerous projects for other developers and general contractors.

However, I'm facing a challenge when it comes to choosing the interior design elements, such as bathroom tiles, colors, sizes, fixtures, etc. I would love to hear how you all approach this process. Are there any apps or tools that you find particularly helpful? Should I consider hiring a professional designer, even though my budget is quite limited?

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
