Check out this first-time investment property flip from our newbie mother/daughter client team:

Investment Property Exterior

This newbie team jumped all in and tackled this investment property flip in Colorado Springs, Colorado with the help of a general contractor. In less than 6 short months, this mother and daughter duo added some much-needed updates and some serious curb appeal and are already under contract to sell and take their profits and move on to the next deal! Pretty impressive for a first-time flip!

Investment Property bathroom

Bathroom before-and-after

Investment Property kitchen

From cluttered kitchen to bright-and-shiny function!

Investment Property Bedroom

Bedroom before-and-after

The best part of this deal? This was an investment property in their own neighborhood!

 

A fix-and-flip deal doesn’t have to be made across town: Look for deals in your own backyard (or, you know, down the street.) These clients not only fixed up a home to turn a profit for themselves, but they helped update their neighborhood at the same time. Making money while increasing the value of you AND your neighbors’ homes? That’s what we call a #HouseFlipping win, and ultimately, it’s really the thing a good fix-and-flip deal is made of.

 

We could all probably learn something valuable from this team about making smart choices about the locations of our investment properties.

 

It’s easy to sit back and draw inspiration from the successes of others, but if you happen to be on the hunt for hard money funds to jump into your own first-time flip, we can help! Contact us today to see if we can help you realize your investment property dreams!

Remote Closings And You: How COVID-19 Has Redefined the Real Estate Closing Process

 

What We Know:

The financial side of real estate has been stalled on many fronts these past few months due to the economic lockdown.

 

Offices are closing, and would-be buyers are losing their jobs. Appraisers aren’t allowed into properties, title companies are limiting closings. There are also complications of safely converting everyone’s office jobs to work-from-home positions.  This influx of rapid-fire changes puts a strain on the mortgage process and adds stress to closing on properties.

 

But, things are improving. We are beginning to see some positive changes thanks to the introduction of remote and online closings.  

 

What Is Changing:

For starters, buyers and sellers are no longer required to physically drive across town at a prescribed hour that works for everyone and suit up with masks and gloves for a closing.

Closing from Home

Systems are now in place for closings to happen 100% from the comfort of home or office ( or really, anywhere you need to be.)  Remote closings are real and they’re happening, along with simple remote notarizations. These simple adaptations eliminate so many hurdles to the closing process and help speed things along, especially in these unique times.

 

Fidelity, one of the largest title companies in the industry, is all-in with the remote advancements and allowing clients to choose how they close.

 

What the Future Holds:

We could be heading for a time when remote appraisals are standard and virtual showings become the norm.  It’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. We’re inching closer to that reality by the day.

Remote Closings

Just imagine the mortgage process taking place in a week or two, and not months!

 

Of course, this is good news for investors selling SFR properties and/or refinancing.  Landlords owning commercial properties may see values drop. After all, more people are working from home without having to physically come into an office.

 

On the rate front, we’re seeing very stable numbers. However, we’re still staring at a wall when it comes to refinancing.

 

As states open up and lift restrictions, let’s hope people run out and get back to work and start spending like we are all used to.

Some serious added curb appeal was only the beginning for this Colorado flip.

Better than As-Seen-on-TV

How’s this for a Fixer Upper? Come with us as we explore some impressive investor before-and-afters from right here in Colorado!
This impressive flipper was able to transform this dated, worn-out property in less than two months! From dump to gem, and from purchase to under contract in less than two months!

We know which kitchen we’d rather be cooking quarantine meals in…

Yes, even in this crazy COVID-lockdown world, homes are getting updated and sold in record time. Rates are extremely low, and smart investors who have figured out how to work around the banks are taking advantage.

New and improved backyard oasis.

From scary and dark, to light, bright and inviting entryway.

From dark and dank to spa-level luxury in the bathroom.

Love how the flippers are making neighborhoods better one house at a time.
