The hardest part of flipping for profit is finding reliable contractors.  And the efficiency of a team that normally works together is a big part of why they're able to do it.

If you try to do the renovations yourself, you pose the risk of running into a bunch of issues that you didn't anticipate.

So many times, it's not predatory for investors to buy properties that need renovation, but obviously they're going to be more interested in a discount against the market than someone buying it to live in.  As long as your selling price aligns pretty close to the comps, you're almost certainly not getting taken advantage of.

The Fed created a bubble.  There are supply chain issues right now and hundreds of thousands of people losing their jobs to vaccine mandates.

The economy is not steamrolling.  It's sputtering.  So people buying real estate should seriously proceed with caution.  Bubbles are made to pop.

 

This. The amount of debt right now is insane. The entire financial sector is over leveraged and over extended. It can’t go on forever.

upside down, but you get the point, lol

Those are old lady/grandma furnishings, i'd replace them with your standard switchplates(light cream) for less than $1 /each, so you say you dont like that color paint? You'd go lighter i assume, some kind of off white/bone, etc?

I was being polite when I said they were ostentatious. But honestly I feel the same way about those plates that you do.

Let's get a look at the baseboards and outlet plates IAG.

I know!  That’s why they have to go! Lol.  I want white switches and plates…the big flat kind.        
 

I don’t mind the paint color but the designer suggested white…. Not a white white, but  white..

Yup, and those white ones are the same price, so if you go whitish walls you can do white wall plates, although the switches are cream. You can have cream plates/switches with white walls, nothing wrong with that.  Would you do every room the same color? that's common but dull.

You lost me here.  I want to go with the ones that Jimmy had above. Right now most of the rooms have just plain cream plates  with cream switches. Those 70s style ones are only in a couple places. Not sure what prompted that but I guess it was the style in the 70s or 80s or sometime…yes I would do same in all rooms/halls.
