For some reason I get A LOT of visitors searching for "Fix and Flip in Denver" and "Fix and Flip loans." Most people I've talked to regarding "fix and flips" simply don't have a clue how much time or money is involved in a buying a house, remodeling, then selling it for a profit. People who are unprepared either go broke or wreck their credit or both. However, buying a home, fixing it, and then flipping it has always fascinated me.
Growing up I really enjoyed This Old House and Hometime. 20 years later and much to my surprise these shows are still on Public Television. The cast of characters has changed but the premise remains the same, remodel an aging house.
Today there are several shows devoted to flipping homes and I'm addicted to each and every one of them:
Property Ladder: By far the best of the shows not named This Old House or Hometime. Candidates for this show are fix and flip novices. The show is an hour long and typically the show focuses on the struggles these novices endure while flipping. They do receive guidance from Kristen Kemp a real estate investor. What I like is that follow through to the end and show some flips as complete flops.
Flip That House: If you have a short attention span, this fix and flip show is for you. It's only 30 minutes long! Experienced and inexperienced flippers are depicted in a quick view of the fix and flip process. The show usually ends with a how much the home was purchased for, how much they spent, and the new price with the expected profit highlighted.
The Real Deal/Real Estate Pros: In one hour this show follows successful real estate flipper Richard Davis and his company, Team Trademark. It's a pretty interesting show laden with extremely tight deadlines. Getting a house ready in a week only to get one of your employees into the property seems a little far fetched.
Flip This House: I liked this show because of Team Trademark but there was a lawsuit and Team Trademark moved on. There are other "teams" that are featured, one in San Antonio, TX, one in Atlanta, GA and the latest is in New Haven, CT. If you're in drama you might want to skip the last team, the New Haven group seem to be as cohesive as the 2004 Boston Red Sox.
Flipping Out: Last week a new fix and flip show debuted on Bravo. It's about Jeff Lewis, a professional real estate investor. Remember it's on Bravo, the network that brought us Queer Eye for the Straight Guy in other words, expect a lot of drama.
