Thank you for being so generous in your sharing. I renovate homes for an homeowners preparing for sale aswell as corporation that flips homes. Needless to say Ive been looking forward to working our own flips. Would you mind doing a video going into how you manage your communications with realtors. Do you use a CRM? How often do you reach out? What are some points you make sure to communicate? What ever you feel comfortable sharing would be much appreciated.🙏🏽
Really great video series, congratulations on leaving the corporate world to do something you love while making good money! I’d like to see a more in details on finding a good contractor. There are many out there!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience especially regarding working with contractors. It truly helps me so much when thinking about how to start the next project on my home!
Thank you for sharing your experience and I’m sorry about your first experience with that contractor. Lessons learned for sure. You’re an inspiration and I love how sweet you explain things. You’re my favorite flipper!! 🤩
You are so kind and sweet, Lauren! Hope my experience can help others recognize the shady contractors more easily. Let me know what else you’d like to see on my channel 🙏
1) Did you use a GC or hire individual subcontractors 2) How did you estimate rehab costs? 3) What did you say on the phone to agents to get you leads?
I like your videos very much. I am a SAHM. But always dream about being a house flipper. Wish we could talk and connect so i could learn more from you 🙂
Hi Elisa, I have a question: do you have any tips about finding good contractor on Yelp? Should I contract out to one contractor or find separate contractors to do each job?
For older homes, how often do flippers renovate the plumbing and electrical? Sometimes my concern in doing this type of business is leaving a homeowner with a less than product because the fixes are cosmetic.
Thank you for the fantastic content. I just have a few questions - newbie here, so appreciate any feedback. (1) Why did you not change the contractor if the timeline changed from 2 months to 8 months? I am assuming the price was based on a list of work items. The contractor was only getting paid after the work was done. (2) How did the contractor come to the conclusion that the addition or the bathroom was not permitted? (3) What does the contractor gain from wasting time? He is getting paid the same regardless, correct? (4) Can you not save on the commission by being your own agent?
Hi, I was wondering if you can share your video regarding finding an off market properties? You mentioned it in one of your videos but it says it's private.
Hi Elisa. Thanks for sharing this video! I have been to one of your seminars with Raul in San Mateo. I love how you explain things and how you have been sharing your journey with us. I was curious if you shared any of your profits with your mentor on your first deal? My goal is to follow in your footsteps. Thanks again. Susan
Thanks Susan for following along my journey! Yes, I did share the profit with my mentor. That’s a good way for beginners to bring in a mentor to help with the first flip. Let me know what you’d like to see on my channel next ☺️
Thanks for the great video! It is very informative. I am thinking of starting my first flipping of old house as an investor soon and your video is very helpful. By the way, can I ask how you found your mentor? (I apologize if you already mentioned and I missed)
Yes! Thanks for your interest. I actually just launched my coaching program, Transform Flipper Academy, to teach you to flip houses the right way. If you're still interested, apply here: transformflipperacademy.com
Thank you so very much for your video! How can I become an apprentice to a house flipper so I can learn from them in my area? I live in Pottstown Pennsylvania

Sounded a lot like my first flip except I got jipped by 3 contractors that stole my money. I thought holding onto it and doing the job right would cost me the same as letting it go at a loss... so I let it go and lost a lot. :(
Awww, I'm so sorry to hear that! I think this is a disadvantage for women in this business, especially if the contractor find out that we are new. Sometimes getting out of a bad deal is better than holding onto it and burn more money and energy. Are you still doing flips? I hope you are able to use the lessons from your first flip to grow in the business. ❤
I have a house I an interested in flipping. It’s listed at 1.05M. There is one comp same neighborhood, square Ft, beds/bath size of yard that sold for 1.55M. All other comps at 1.1M. Is this a good deal? I am hesitant due to only one comp at 1.55M.

Hi! That’s awesome 👏🏻 thank you for this video! My question is: how can I find a mentor? I moved to the us (San Diego) recently and I don’t have a lot of contacts. I doubt someone would be willing to help a newbie :(
isadorable can_too thanks! When you go to real estate meetings, go up to experienced investors and introduce yourself. If you have funds available, you can also offer to lend money on their deals in exchange for mentorship. Or if you find a deal, offer them profit sharing in exchange for mentorship (this is what I did). You might be surprised, a lot of investors are willing to help newbies 😊

For older homes, how often do flippers renovate the plumbing and electrical? Sometimes my concern in doing this type of business is leaving a homeowner with a less than product because the fixes are cosmetic.
Well they would have to agree to bring it up to code in order for their remodel to be approved.
@@livelovelife32 depending on the work being done... if it is cosmetic, you do not need a permit/aka to bring things up to code
Do you have any videos on the process of finding a hard money lender? Also, what kind of documents and information do they need?
Speak to a community lender. They lend to the hard money guys and will be able to get you in touch.
Thank you!!
Awesome content, thank you so much!!!
Thank you Victor. Glad you liked it. Let me know what else you'd like to see on my channel and how I can help.

Do you first look for the flip then get the loan or reverse?
Sounded a lot like my first flip except I got jipped by 3 contractors that stole my money. I thought holding onto it and doing the job right would cost me the same as letting it go at a loss... so I let it go and lost a lot. :(

@@TransformRealEstate no not anymore, maybe later when i have more money. Don't want to go into legitimate debt if something happens haha
What is your opinion about commercial properties?
Hey beautiful, can I pls know what software you use for bookkeeping / expenses ? Thanks 😊

What should be my very first step to start flipping business? Do I need business license before I apply for a hard money loan?
Itemize your scope of work and get it in writing , thank god u didn’t lose money
Elisa this was a great video, I am new in the business and I want to de great can you help me knowing about budgets??

Hi, you haven't mission one thing most important to get a home inspection before doing all this.
That sounded a little scary for your first flip. Had you done any renovations or anything before?
Hi! I renovated my first home and a rental property before, both condos
would be great if i could get you as a mentor :)

Hello, @transformrealestate
I like your videos. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
What did you initially say to the first contractor you found to get them to do a walk thru with you in the house?
How do find good contractors now?
the contrator is just a middle man in most cases you could save more money just hireing subs
