By Walter Bell


Investing in property can be a great way to make money and sustain a good standard of living. But there are different ways you can go about investing in property nowadays, from becoming a landlord to fix and flipping homes. Fix and flip involves taking out a short term loan to renovate a property, selling it on quickly for a profit. For this to work you will need a team of experts in renovations Vancouver BC homeowners rely on.

So, let's work on the basis here that you have already found a property and secured a loan. You'll now have to move swiftly on with the repairs and renovations so that you can get it back on the market. Today we will look at some of the most common repairs that you'll be required to do if you want to resell for a good price.

There is a reason that you will find properties for flipping on the market for really low price tags and even at auction. They have been left to rot and are generally either abandoned or in a really bad state. So, money is needed to get things fixed up. Start with windows and doors. This will however cut into your budget, but is a necessity. No home will sell nowadays if it doesn't have double glazing.

So asides replacing these big items, what else may you need to fix up. Well, for starters you must check the state of your roof. If it is leaking then obviously repairs will be necessary. But a survey is the best way to determine what state the roof is in. Beams may be rotten and they may have to be replaced entirely.

Repairs to the electrics, plumbing, and drainage are also common for renovation properties. If the house is old, it may need rewiring. In other cases you might just need to add new plug sockets and light switches. A CCTV drain survey for your drains is a must when buying an old property. Depending on what is found, several types of repairs may be necessary or new pipes.

Selling on a property will be easier if you carry out all the necessary repairs. A buyer will also look at the pipework and electrics, and this means that if you don't repair them you will have a hard time selling the home.

Other less major work that you can carry out includes painting, window sills, doors, and frames. Check out the condition of floorboards too. Like beams in the attic, they may have dry or wet rot that will need treating. An older home may not even have a damp course, and fitting one will boost the resale value of the home.

Investing in a house in Vancouver to fix and flip is the perfect way to make some money. But only when you are prepared to carry out the necessary repairs. As well as the internal repairs, ensure the outside of the property is also looking its best. This can include tidying up the garden, painting or replacing the garage door, and having your driveway resurfaced.
