1. How to Fix and Flip Houses

2. Benefits of Investing in Real Estate
Real Estate Provides:
• More predictable returns than stocks and
commodities
• A hedge against inflation (since the rise in rental
rates / property prices is similar to inflation)
• A higher rate of return than most investments
• Cash flow that can be used for other investments
• Easier and less expensive loans

3. What is a Fix and Flip Strategy?
This strategy is used by real estate investors,
wherein a house is purchased, remodeled or
repaired and then sold at a higher price. Repairs
are undertaken and renovation / remodeling is
done to create value. A fix and flip strategy is a
tactical strategy, rather than a long-term
investment strategy (like holding a property
until the price escalates).

4. Steps in a Fix and Flip Strategy
There are 7 Main Steps in a Fix and Flip Strategy:
1. Research the market
2. Identify a property
3. List all the repairs and renovation needed
4. Estimate the cost of repairs and renovation
5. Evaluate the property price after repairs and renovation
6. Undertake the repairs and renovation
7. Sell the property

5. Benefits of a Fix and Flip Strategy
Among the Most Important Advantages of a Fix
and Flip Strategy are:
• Immediate realization of gains
• Capital is not tied up for years
• Easier to predict returns and take a calculated
approach
• No leasing risks that are inherent in holding
real estate
• You do not need to invest your own money

6. Fix and Flip Loans
A Fix and Flip Loan:
• Helps to purchase a distressed property, fix it up and sell
it for a profit
• Can be up to 90% of the “as if” value of the property
• Can cover 100% of the construction money needed for
repair and renovation
Most banks do not offer loans for distressed properties and will not cover the remodeling of these homes.

7. Types of Home Improvement
• Repairing: Electrical, plumbing and structural repairs.
• Enhancing interior appeal: Wallpapering walls and ceilings, installing flooring, upgrading doors and
windows and installing new cabinetry for kitchens and bathrooms.
• Enhancing exterior appeal: Remodeling backyard and front yard with patios, decks or landscaping.
• Comfort upgrades: Installing improved heating, ventilation and air conditioning and upgrading the
kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms.
• Improving safety: Upgrades of fire alarms, sprinkler systems and burglar alarms and installing security
doors and windows.
• Home Additions: Adding rooms or floors and converting unused space into usable space.

8. Prospects of Fixing and Flipping
The average fix-and-flip ROI (return on investment)
rose from about 20% in 2011 to 35% in 2015,
according to RealtyTrac, which tracks real estate
data and analytics.
Property prices in the New York – New Jersey area
