I personally have never flipped anything (other than pancakes) however I have worked with several clients who do, and there train of thought seems to be start small.

@Chris ClothierWell, sir, I think it's official--I'm buying the next round of pancakes next time you're in LA!!

I called it a dog-hair pancake. 

Here in Canada we would just get together  apologize to each other over some pancakes and maple syrup..I kid but that is an unfortunate situation to find yourself in.

I think it gives it a older stately look.Regarding the wooden columns, if they are not too far gone, I've seen Bondo used to patch them up ( I have no idea how long it holds though).I think just doing a cut back on the foliage would be a big improvement, plus a driveway for off street parking.And straightening the porch roof line might make a more "put together look" for the property.Pretty grass, but it's so long--like waving fields of grain.I wonder how many pancake breakfasts have been served in this home over the last 100 years--all of the different people who have lived there.Anyway, for fun, I make a mockup with the foliage cut back and some other upgrades (which might not pay off in a flip).Good Luck!

I do see what you're saying, there are no hills here though Yucatan is flat as a pancake lol, but the 1 acre land parcel mentioned above is pretty close to the dump.

- Sellers: Short market times and ample demand are very real but prices are flat as a pancake.

For example there are two plates of pancakes in front of you.
