How I Started Flipping Houses Online Using Only A Laptop and Cell
Phone It is 1 o'clock on a Tuesday and I'm sitting in my truck
parked at a truck stop on I-80 in Iowa. I just received an e-mail
informing me that a house I had for sale in Houston, Texas just
sold. The same house that I had purchased only a little over three
months ago while sitting in a truck stop on I-95 in South Carolina
I found it on the internet, hired a home inspector on the internet,
negotiated the price and purchased it on the internet, ordered
"installed" home improvements on the internet, secured and
monitored it on the internet, and finally flipped it on the
internet. Never set foot in the place For thirty or so years I made
my living as a carpenter flipping older homes after rehabilitating
them, but have since retired my tools. Not truly ready for full
retirement, my wife and I then purchased a Freightliner
tractor-trailer with a condo sleeper and now we drive all over the
country hauling freight. "Over the road" drivers they call it. It's
a great life, seeing the country and getting paid as we watch the
scenery change daily outside our windows. But I've never lost my
love for building and I miss it so much more every time we haul
lumber or building supplies to one of the big home improvement
centers. So naturally, while browsing the web during our down time
at the truck stops, I found myself gravitating to the websites that
specialized in homes for sale and home improvements that you can
now buy "installed" at places like Lowe's and Home Depot. Then it
dawned on me. Everything I had to do in the past to flip a house in
person is now available on the internet. You can do everything with
the push of a button that I had to do in person just as effectively
The rest is history. Limiting myself to a meager budget I found my
first house to flip online and purchased it with a credit card.
Then I set up security to control access and monitor it live online
for a low monthly fee. Next I shopped for and purchased some key
home improvements that included installation from the big home
improvement stores online and paid for them with their own charge
cards interest free My total monthly payments were small enough so
that I could carry the spec house for a while without much
difficulty in case it didn't sell right away. I had virtually no
cash tied up to get to this point. A local Realtor handled the
marketing and sale of the spec house, which much to my surprise
took less than thirty days. After paying his commission I still
walked away with a tidy profit. Not bad for just pushing a couple
of buttons and making a few phone calls. The whole flip took less
than 120 days, start to finish. I was hooked Now, how about you?
