    Love how simple and to the point you explain yourself.
    I had done this and to works .
    My side gig .
    First month I made 1000
    Second month 2000
    3 rd month 2400
    So far so good
    My own hours and I control the money flow .
    Simple cars , simple repairs , no flashy cars .
    I don't rip off anyone .
    But I don't tell my wife what I made .
    U know why !!!!!

      Point is .....I make 500 , 1000 , 800 , 1500 .

      I agree. This was very educational. You’re a talented individual because not just anybody can tear down and put back together all these road worthy machines. I would also add the labor ($40-60/hr for a skilled mechanic; $60 for more complex stuff like Beamers, Benz’s etc.) & deal scouting time & online adds+ actual physical in person sales ($20-40/hr for a full-time business marketer) to the total as time is money so maybe $6-900 total in labor costs in the deal.

    Love this video! Honestly I think the most valuable thing you have here is your ability to diagnose car problems. Seeing a checklist of items to find the cause of a specific problem and knowing how the different systems work and how they can cause issues, are absolute gold nuggets. If you made more videos on how to fix car issues like you did with the rough idle in this video, I’d watch every single one of them and be subbed forever.

    I been flipping vehicles since I was 18 I'm 31 now. For a good period of that time that was my main and only income I've made 20k in 3 months. Its a lot tougher now a days to make that kind of money but still very possible! Craigslist was the place to use until Marketplace took over and craigslist started to charge $5 a post... I've talked a person down from 3k to $350 and they delivered it to you after i went and seen it and walked away from it the first time. Never be scared to throw out a number but never be the first to put a number out there, let them talk themselves down first, once they do you know you can always get them lower then that number they took you. I just bought a 1980 Camaro the guy was asking 8k i got it for 5500.. Needs nothing, I'm putting it up for 15k! This channel is awesome I'm definitely going to stay watching! Get me more pumped to keep flipping!

    Great job Buddy. I really appreciate the hustle !!!
    As a consultant I sell my time. Time is the most valuable thing you have. You can always make more money per hour, and obtain assets, you can not create more time.
    I used to flip motorcycles, then cars, now houses and businesses.
    It would be interesting for RUclipsrs like you to keep a time log so that he can equate a hourly rate. This is what is more important that proceeds from the sale. Clearing "2.2k" and mean $20 an hour of $200 an hour.
    I think you will find that certain types of issues with car flips are more profitable than others. This will also you to sub out less profitable tasks and allow you to scale.

    I used to do this back in the 90's. They had a section in the classifieds: cars for sale by owner under $1000. I would look for ANY pickup truck. If it cranked, went forward when you hit the gas, and the brakes stopped it, I'd buy it. I would buy a car for $300-500 or so, drive it to the Walmart parking lot and park near the main road. I'd put sign in the window "FOR SALE: $2000 OBO" with my cellphone number in it ( I had a burner phone just for this). I'd go sit at the McDonalds inside the Walmart. Within a few hours I'd get a call and someone would offer $1600 or so. If they had the cash, I'd meet them and sign their name as the buyer on the title. I made anywhere from $700 to 1800 in a day and never did any work to the trucks, and was never on paper in the transaction. I'd do this about once or twice a month when I could find a good truck. Made almost as much doing this as from my full time job. I'd put half the cash in the bank and the other half I'd spend on scratch tickets, hookers, and weed. Ah, the 90's. What a decade.

    I flipped cars for car lots in Florida and did it for around 20 years. I had 3 car dealers who wanted to back me for a dealers license but it was cheaper at the time to just go with them to auctions and pick cars for them . I would get 25 dollar cars and turn them in to 900 to 2000 dollar cars for the lots and we all made lots of money . I could guarantee all the cars I did to have a 2 year warranty because I put in good new parts and not junk yard crap the car lots loved me because I did a good job and was fast . at the time in Florida you could have a lot and sell up to 7 cars at a time without a license and I had a huge back yard. it was all good tell I blew out my back and became totally disabled in 1999 . I did the car flipping gig from 1979 to 99 tell I totally F'ed myself lucky for me it was on the job and I got SSI

      I kind of feel like that’s irrelevant to the topic of flipping cars because you’re not an employee you’re an entrepreneur and you are working to earn a profit, not to bill yourself for your hours worked. While I wholeheartedly agree that your time is valuable and that you should be mindful of how much work you are putting in, it doesn’t make much difference in the long run because you are doing the work for yourself and you are profiting from your labor indirectly
      If you broke it down by hours then you are basically trying to talk yourself out of flipping cars because you could say “you could have made x amount of dollars just fixing other peoples cars with none of the risk involved with putting up your own money” but then you miss the point of working for yourself and reaping the rewards of your own skills AND working how you want to, where you want, and WHEN you want to on your own schedule

      legally unless you have a dealers license yes. the way to get around it is have a title signed by seller only then when you sell it you can put new buyers name on it. then basically its like they sold to each other. not legal at all and you could rack up a forgery charge lol. most states have a limit on how many you can transfer in year. ky is 5. more than that they force you to get a dealers license. dealers license is a headache as well in some states. ky you have to have 100 sf office that isnt your home and a 100 ft x100ft gravel lot or paved. you also have to pay for a bond unless you can present a huge amount of assets that will cover it. you also have to have a sign and your hours on the office. dealer insurance is also required but thats prob better as you it will cover whatever you drive and its not very expensive. the idea of flipping them and selling them online like this is nice but alot of hurdles if you do more than a few. dealer license should be updated for internet selling personally. thats how most people do business in this day and age for the most part but the part of the government that issues licenses still thinks like 1970 with plaid suit salesmen trying to beat you out of a dollar. probably because its elected officials and the last time they bought a car was in the 70s lol.

    Deals like this are difficult to find, especially on Facebook. Any car that’s listed under $2000 usually has a shit ton of people messaging the seller within minutes of it posting. Most of the time if you come across someone willing to sell a car for $500 it has major issues such as a blown head gasket or bad transmission.
    Also if you flip more than a few cars per year you will need a dealers license in most states, many flippers use the skip title method but just don’t get caught if you choose that method

      @azak just don’t sign the title and whenever you sell it just have the new owner sign where you were supposed to sign when you purchased it

    What do you do in terms of titling and registration?
    Do you float the title using the previous owner's name or do you transfer it to yours and wait for a new title in the mail before selling it?

      I am a dealer and always follow state and county regulations

      That's always my question. I guess most of us didn't register dealership license, so legally we still have to go through the title process before selling it out.

      If you'd pay more than 500 for a 20 year old truck with major ac components failing, and runs like crap then you will fail in this buisness 10/10 times

    what about the cost of licensing and transferring the title?

    • @BuddysDIY

      State to state it differs. I'm also a dealer so it differs there as well
