I speak with many clients who want to flip houses. It seems so easy on those HGTV shows.
I thought I would show you a real life Thornwood example in this flipped home at 560 Lakeridge Drive.
This house was purchased as a bank owned REO in
4-11-14 for $214,524 and completely rehabbed (unfinished basement) and sold on
10-8-14 for $355,000.
While the NET numbers are not public information, the retail numbers reveal more than 52% return and less than 6 months time purchase to close.
I'd be happy to email you more photos so you can see the beautiful interior finishes on this rehab.
What would a complete rehab on a 2800 square foot home cost? I'm guessing at least $50,000...still a nice profit.
But is it worth the risk? .... the stress?
It's not for everyone but if flipping is your goal, be sure to choose a desirable and very marketable neighborhood like Thornwood where your turn time will be minimal.
