Flips should always be win, win, win propositions.We win because we make money, original sellers win because we took a problem off their hands, buyers win because they get a great home that is freshly renovated, contractors win because they get some work, realtors win because they make money on an easy sell.

My latest buy, I paid 50k at tax auction and its worth about 95k with a fresh coat of paint.

Herman and Kittle Properties (apartments and storage) just took delivery of a brand new KA350i...Beech's 7000th KA.http://www.hermankittle.com/Check out their website, look it over.I'm inspired....

I bought one 5 unit property because I was able to see 20%+ on it and get an 800 sqft garage for my storage as a bonus.

Rafael,I do mostly single family homes, I have one 5 unit apartment building which has an added benefit of having a 1,000 sqft storage area for me to keep tools, appliances, paint, materials, etc.
