  • I am going to take $400 and purchase a car. With each profit, I am going to roll it into the next flip. In less than 1 year, and I am going to try and afford a Ferrari off just the initial $400 investment. Make sure to follow along in the Saga.

      Its completely bullshit. Not the idea but so far the execution. Just the Malibu for instance, 400 car full day to find the car and get it home (doesnt matter auction or Facebook). Full cut and buff. Interior detail. He said earlier in the video it need at least 2 tires + hub caps (not sure how expensive they are but i had to find 2 cap for a 1997 Altima back in '00 and paid almost $100, but whatever) i wont bring up the guys getting paid to do the work because you could do it yourself but your time is still worth something (still gotta pay the bills). Tools, if your going to do it yourself you have to have the tools. Its not hsrd to cut and buff a car but if you haven't done it before your going to need compound, polish, wax, and a buffer. Im not saying that any of this is really much of an obstacle but so far this has been completely unrealistic. In the market today, in my opinion, you should be starting with atlest a $2500 car and have already acquired the tools and skill to do the work. Or at least a place to borrow the tools from.
      As a side note- it would be interesting to see the use of facebook marketplace marketing to sell faster and at a better margin. Yes you will have to pay facebook but again, time is worth something too. Might make more sence to wait till you get to the 10-15k range. Would still be interesting to see what happens at the lower price point.

We're up to 1150 for the car if you went to the auction yourself not counting a tow and washing/waxing. Paying an extra 600 is probably easier then dealing with the hassle especially when he took the risk on the cars and his customers know what they are getting unlike him.

When I was 14 my grandpa gave me $500 dollars to buy a car at a auction and by the time I turned 16 I turned that 500 dollar car into a 2 year old at the time 2006 GMC 2500 Denali that I drove for 8 years and 150k miles then a sold it for more money then I originally paid for it. After college I ran 3 family car lots for around 8 years and ended up selling them to a major franchise dealership.

He just chose an expensive car as something people know as expensive. His goal is NOT to own a ferrari. He could have already bought one if that were the case.

  • @EfficientRVer
    @EfficientRVer 4 года назад +7

    I like this idea, especially if you really stick to reinvesting pretty much the whole amount into one flip each time without banking much of the profit or splitting the bankroll into doing multiple cars as they get more expensive. Doing a flip in each price range on the way up will get interesting, especially if one of them goes sideways or worse. Good thing you're a trained professional on a closed course.
    How trashed of a Ferrari will you consider a success? How much sweat equity are you going to allow yourself to do, versus subtracting it off of profit as a cost of flipping?
    Likewise for allocating business overhead to it, charging employee labor to it, etc. It will be a lot easier to achieve if you ignore all that and just count selling price minus the sum of buying price and direct out of pocket expenses for parts. But if you're using words like investment and profit, that would be cheating! Maybe you should keep track of the numbers a few different ways, to illustrate how a hobbyist who "made a profit" on a project, would have made less or taken a loss if doing it commercially. In any case, I'm sure that all sorts of people who are thinking of doing a project or a straight flip, will learn a lot. It would be cool if one was a straight arbitrage flip buying from someone on Craigslist and immediately selling it to Carvana, not that it's in your interest to create an army of arbitragers scouring sources of private sales for flips, and not that you wouldn't make more by retailing it yourself. But it would be more like what a hobbyist could easily do, not having your retailing capability.
    P.S., My (non-automotive) business is in Nashua. I used to pass through your area on 111 going to a girlfriend's home in Kingston, in the 2012-2014 timeframe, but never happened to pass by your place that I recall, though it's possible that I did.
