    My biggest tip for house flipping is buy with your head and not your heart. That goes for all the fixtures and fittings too.
    Also renting them out at the end can be a thankless task, the renovation is the most rewarding part.
    Good luck!

Also id be super interested in watching as my boyfriend always goes on about how I need to save from now to ever get on the housing market/wants to eventually renovate houses, and when he explains it it’s so dull (🥲) so I need you to Carys it up!!

    Investment property is a rental and flipping houses is used in the Uk. I do both, we have rental and flip. You have to remember when doing the houses up, you are not doing it to live in and want the most profit so do it well but cheaper than if you were going to live there.

    We have just bought our first home and it was a massive project. We did everything ourself from electrics to flooring to plastering. We have added 40k value to our house which is nice to know but we don’t want to move now after all the hard work ❤️ I will say it’s extremely time consuming even if it’s just decorating so be mindful of that with having a small child. Not as easy as people think but it is very rewarding x

  • @breannahorton
    @breannahorton 3 года назад +35

    Coming from a someone who grew up flipping, and still do it with my parents- you're going to need more money than you'll think, it's going to take longer than you'll think, you will get stressed out way more than you think you will, and things will absolutely go wrong at some point. If you plan on keeping and renting also be prepared for anything and everything you worked so hard on to be completely destroyed, either on purpose or by accident. But it is a lot of fun and the feeling of accomplishment when you finish is worth it 🙂

    • @misszt
      @misszt 3 года назад +1

      this!!! I dont own a house but the rental properties I've seen where the tenants have destroyed a house is heartbreaking. One because I didnt then want the house and two because the landlords then have to fork out thousands more! High rent and a big deposit will hopefully secure tenants that are of age and maturity. Xx

    • @breannahorton
      @breannahorton 3 года назад +1

      @@misszt Unfortunately high rent/deposit isn't usually a deterrent, we've seen the best luck pricing just at or under market to get more applications to choose from and really putting a lot of effort into the interviews and checking references. Depending on the area higher rent usually just means a lot of young people moving in together to split the rent, and they often cause a lot of accidental damage simply because they don't know something or they have large groups of friends that come over/party. Getting a tenant in at just below market helps a lot in finding a great person who wants to stay long term or would be persuaded to stay longer as its the best house in their budget/cheapest in the area, which in turn also usually has them taking better care of the house because they know they don't plan on leaving.

    So long as you are both happy with what you want to do to a house when you find it, it doesn’t matter what we think tbh, you have enough good people around you to make sure you don’t lose your minds during a renovation and James’s sensible head will calm Carys through it all and I for one will be watching every bit you want too share with us so good luck with your house hunting, don’t worry about the naysayers who seem to work so had at being upset about something that has zero impact on their actual lives, you will never be able to make them change their minds as they seem to enjoy the pain those words cause, the only important thing is that you are happy with what your doing and those that support you will be along for the ride no matter what happens down the road. 🥰

    Even though the new house reno would be fun, I feel like I’d say don’t do it with a small child. It’s so time consuming and time away from your baby when you could wait a few years till she’s in preschool etc. I just say that because we did a whole house up with a baby, and one of us could NEVER help, because - baby, so it was always just my husband doing all the work, talking to builders etc as I had to take care of the baby/ toddler and the whole project became quite a chore tbh 🙃
