Description
There are a lot of strategies in real estate investing. If you are new in the investment field, you might be asking yourself what is the best method you can use to win deals. If you are experienced in investing, you might be asking how can you improve it further. One of the best strategies in investing is Fix-and-flip.
Fix-and-flip and real estate investment
Fix-and-flip is the method of purchasing a property, fixing it through renovation and repairs, then selling it for a more valuable price. It is a profitable business as long as you are using the proper cost-effective analysis in dealing with your subject properties. It is highly-suitable as well in houses of range conditions, whether distressed or slightly used.
How to begin with fix-and-flip
Step 1- Find deals
The first step in flipping houses is to find deals. You need to find a motivated list of potential clients who are willing to close a deal with you. You may learn about great deals from referrals, co-investors, property managers and real estate agents.
You may also use automation tools to help you in gathering more leads. At Real Estate IQ, we have a Deal-Finding Suite where you can have the most relevant data in just a click of a finger. If your marketing strategy involves phone calls, texts, or emails, try also our Premium Deal Finding Suite and receive top off-market lists done for you.
Step 2: Find contractors
Finding contractors to do the repairs is your next task. There are a lot of sources like getting contractors from referrals, social media, networking, and research or from Talking to People (TTP)

Step 3- Learn and Grow
Learning is usually placed in the first list of the steps that you must do in pursuing a goal. Most people believe that you need to study first the things that you must do before actuating it in practice. While such an idea is correct, learning is placed in the last step for this process because in real estate investing, you cannot learn everything in a purely theoretical manner. You need to go out and experience finding deals based on practice and application. As you continue exploring flipping houses and even in doing other investing strategies, learning must be a continuing process for you to grow in your business.
