Fix and Flip
Hawthorne Lake Home Renovation Hutchinson Lane
Everyone loves a good fix and flip story. Just stream HGTV and you will find 10 or more different shows on this subject. The idea of buying low and selling high is intriguing to everyone. While TV shows make flipping houses look easy this couldn't be further than the truth.
Flipping a home can be one of the most rewarding real estate investments out there. However, the road to sold is long and if you are sharing this experience with a partner it can be very tricky to navigate through all of the decisions that need to be made and still keep the partnership in tact. You may feel like throwing the towel in many times throughout the process, but if you hang there and see your vision come to life it can be an extremely rewarding experience.
Check out Tanya's latest fix and flip below and get a little behind the scenes in the Brokers Corner as you see this project from start to sold.
