If you are like me,
you have probably watched dozens of house flipping shows on HGTV.
You typically see an
attractive female in charge of a flip, swinging a sledge hammer,
getting her hands dirty helping demo the property.
This seems to be a bit
of a stretch from reality for two reasons:
1. As the
person flipping the house, I give orders, and just about never use a tool or
assist in any way.
2. My
construction sites are typically lacking in attractive females ;)
All jokes aside, this
is what my typical day as a house flipper looks like:
8 am: Check email to
see of one of my team members has sent me a property. If the property
looks good, set up a showing.
10 am: Hit the gym
(not as often as I should)
11 am: Swing buy any
active projects and make sure project is moving forward.
12 pm: Grab
lunch. Kale salad with arugula sprouts and salmon. (Also
not very often. Basically never. In fact, I don’t even know if
arugula sprouts is a real thing.)
1 pm: Go to any
potential new showings.
2 pm: Calls with
partners
4 pm: Family time or
personal time.
Keep in mind, when I
first started and was flipping just 1 house at a time, I kept my day job and
only spend about 4 hours a week working on that 1 project. That’s about all it
takes on average.
Are you ready to start
flipping houses?
