Flip That House Style Real Estate Investing

Jan. 1st, 2009

I love those TV rehabbing shows like Flip That House. On the show people buy a house needing to be seriously updated and repaired. Usually the kitchen is heavily upgraded with new cabinets, cutting edge appliances, new countertops and more. The bathrooms are completely redone with new tile, tubs, showers, sinks and more. The living rooms and other areas usually have walls taken out to open up the floor plan and usually carpet is replaced with some type of hardwood flooring. It\’s realistic to do what they show in a high dollar housing market like California to make the huge profits they usually get on that show. In a lower priced market like Memphis, TN rehabbers are looking to make $20-30,000 per house minimum. In California and on that show they are looking for $50,000-150,000 per house. That\’s because homes are so much more expensive in California where the show is produced.

Start out by working with a real estate agent to find out where apartments for sale in Santa Barbara are located within the region. Finding Santa Barbara commercial real estate for sale is not difficult, but an agent can narrow down your search results to fall within your price range, location needs, amenities and more. An agent can also get you a comparative analysis report that gives you an indication of apartments that are up for sale. Prices are based on location as well; for instance, if you want to purchase commercial property near the State Street district, you may end up paying a little more for the property than you would in other areas.
