Spring House!

I purchased a property for $127,500, put $11K into it, and plan to sell it for $180K. I was able to get 100% financing on the property because of two things: 1) used a small bank, 2) showed titles to collectible cars. I’ve picked up a lot through the Armando Flip and Grow Rich Program. I look for homes in the medium price range that only basically need paint and carpet. With this particular property, I have replaced the countertops in both the kitchen and bathrooms with granite and put in stainless steel appliances. I look at properties through a woman’s eyes because I know they run the show. This is a kitchen any woman would love to cook in. I purchased this property on Friday, March 20th, and on Saturday, I had my contractors and gardeners working on it. They started working Friday morning at 3:00 am and worked until 6:00 pm. They are motivated, because I promised them all cash when they have completed the job. By next Tuesday, March 31st—it will be completely done. I’ve put a little flag outside that says “Spring”, planted flowers, added top soil, and it has great curb appeal! The next property I work with, I’m planning to add a brand new car in the garage! That should sell the house! I, myself, keep a picture of a bright red 1965 Shelby Cobra on my refrigerator to inspire me. I love hot rods! I am 55 years old, and I love working with real estate! “If you don’t make it happen—it won’t happen!” I would love to be an inspiration to others in the program!

Just listed today! Bought home a week ago, since then, painted, trim, new carpet, granite counter tops, landscaped, Malibu lights—looking good. Bought another one – 4 b 2 bath 2 car garage - $120K, might sell for $175K. Got offers in the bank for 3 others. Goal = 5 month, and go up to 20/month. I have proved to myself that it could be done. Have ten going at one time. Finish it in two weeks. Pressure washed. Had 17 classic cars at one time.
