How to Buy, Fix and Sell Real Estate

When I bought my first house under the buy, fix and sell concept, I didn’t know the difference between a framing hammer or a ball-peen hammer.

My hammer was actually a large rock I carted with me from house to house, which I used for pounding nails to hang pictures. I figured that when I flipped a switch and the lights came on, far as I was concerned it was magic. If I had a hole in the wall, I hung a picture over it. Never in a million years did I dream I could patch the hole. And my cats and I routinely left little footprints around the house after stepping into paint trays, no matter how careful I was. I didn’t think I was cut out to do home improvements, but I proved myself wrong.

I also got hooked. I couldn’t drive by a beat-up, weathered old house without wanting to buy it and fix it up. Perhaps my enthusiasm will be contagious for some of you. Maybe you’ll catch the bug. Perhaps I can inspire you to Buy, Fix-Up and Sell? I hope so. Here’s part one of a five-part series . . . read more about Buy, Fix and Sell.
