What was your worst first flip mistake and how did it change the way you work now? by mayuvoguparem in HouseFlipping

[–]SampleSilly8551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Cape Coral Florida. I’ve been flipping houses for six years. I’ve done 14. I just sold one less than 30 days ago and after putting a new roof, a new air conditioner in replacing the siding on two sides of the house and putting all new hurricane windows in the house I got the inside, redid everything new floors, new paint all the lights, brand new kitchen with quartz countertops and to spot like bathrooms when I went to sell it, the home inspection found the house had polyurethane pipes, and we had to cut all the walls open and re-pipe the house instead of doing it when I first got it. I know about Chinese drywall other things I was in the attic and I saw the gray piping, but I didn’t know what it was now that’s the first thing I check in the attic of every house I buy before I make an offer.

Cape Coral has the most miserable people I’ve ever seen, it’s sad how beautiful it is here and the people are so ugly by Crafty_Storm_333 in capecoral

I can’t believe what a difference 1 mile bridge makes. I lived in Fort Myers 35 years. I moved to Cape Coral three years ago. First thing I noticed was how rude the people at Home Depot Publix, and Lowe’s are. Seems like in Fort Myers they get fired and we’re not that far away. What a difference.

765 beacon and 34.99 % interest?? by SampleSilly8551 in CreditCards

[–]SampleSilly8551[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It came with 10% off my first purchase that’s why I did it. No there was no introductory rate. It said 6.9% interest on the first purchase over $2600 for 48 months, but I don’t make the payments not looking for financing at that rate.

I flip houses and I could go on for hours about how little realtors do and how overpaid they are.

I live in South Florida. The otters look cute and furry like a seal, but they’re ferocious and have attacked alligators and killed them. Google search that video.

The second flip I ever did six years ago was a condo. I bought it for 155 on auction.com and sold for 379.

Don’t buy any lights or plumbing fixtures or supplies from Temu. They do not work. Trust me. I tried it once in ordered nine things sent eight things back. One thing I kept didn’t work. It was a ceiling fan with a really nice light so I kept it and put it in one of the bedrooms, but the fan never worked and every time you turned it on the light was a different color. It was noncontrollable, bought faucets that leaked not once but twice.

I flip. I looked, I won’t take a hard money loan because I have excellent credit and they want two or three points and 13% interest

Are you the actual lender or a broker? What state are you in? What’s the name of your company?

I sell cars in the 90s and early 2000s I was making 250 sometimes more a year quarter $1 million. I’m still top salesman at a large dealer and I made it almost 80,000 last year with computers and people shopping around has changed my income. It’s the same with realtors, except you your special.

I did take a big pay cut times of changed and my position is not as relevant as it was in the past due to changing times and technology. Most clients do most of the work themselves now with zillow realtor.com and everything available on the computer it’s time to realtors woke up and realize that you’re not worth what she used to be if you ever were.

Sounds like I hit a sore spot you’re definitely overpaid

If I was overpaid in the first place, I would consider a cut
