If you speak to an experienced investor, they’ll tell you that they haven’t always had successful fix and flips. One pitfall that first-time investors can make is not choosing a house that even after renovation will be one that will attract buyers. Before securing your hard money loan you’ll want to research the property and make sure it will check the boxes for buyers.
Most buyers will have a desired area in which they will search for their home. If you’re renovating a home in an area that isn’t attracting buyers, you’re going to have a hard time selling it once your flip is completed. Consulting with a real estate agent will help you focus on areas where homes sell quickly and for top dollar.
In some cities smaller condominiums will be highly desirable where in other locations a 3-bedroom, 2 bathroom is the most sought after property size. This is also an opportune time to consult with a real estate agent who knows what’s selling easiest in the current market.
While it may be tempting to use finishes that will “wow” potential buyers, you want to keep the palette neutral. A brightly colored home may catch a lot of attention, but you’re drastically limiting who will actually want to buy your property. Use colors that are universal rather than going for what’s trendy right now. Chances are that the buyer may make changes to match taste so spending extra money on expensive hardware and landscaping won’t be a good return on investment.
Your Arizona hard money loan will help you buy your property, but your property choice is what will help you sell. To discuss your investment idea, give Level 4 Funding a call today!
