What about flipping a house every 2 years?

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009
Claudio F asked:


From what I know, if I live in a house for 2 years and I sell, I won’t pay for “flipping” taxes.
I plan to buy a house that needs renovation every 2 years, fix it up, then sell it or rent it out and move to a bigger house that needs a lot of renovation and do the same thing.
Is that a good business idea?

I heard they spent almost $100 million. I haven’t been since, but I think I will miss the old one. How do you like it since the new renovation?

How difficult is it for a person (individual) to put a lien on a property in NYS?

stephg asked:


A person made an investment in a property, but the check was not sent to the individual, but it was used as a down payment. The individual that made the investment wants their funds back before the property is renovated. The funds have been sent to the contractor for renovation. How difficult is it for an individual to put a lien on a property they have invested in? And, what exactly does that lien mean as far as renovations and selling of the property are concerned? What are the the statutes of limitations in NYS?

Pea asked:


I have heard of compound miter saws, chop saws, table saws, etc. We have finish work to do from the walls out in basement, attic, garage and room over garage, and repair and renovation in the rest of the house. What shall we purchase rather than rent by the day or week?

How do you become a house flipper?

klcurrie77 asked:


Do you need an investor? If you don’t get an investor, do you have to pay in full? Or, is it just like buying any other house, making a down payment and then paying a mortgage? As you can see, I know nothing about buying a house. As far as a budget for renovation goes, how do you decide that? Do you need a real estate license to be a house flipper?

My new lawn grass is growing in unevenly - should I be concerned?

ed_omalley asked:


Hi - I am about two weeks into a lawn renovation project. I rough-graded the turf, removed any loose stones, spread topseed using a Scott’s broadcast spreader, added plenty of topsoil, then water & finally Scott’s starter fertilizer.

I know it is early, and the results thus far are mixed. In some areas, the grass has sprouted nicely. In other areas, nothing yet but small stubbles. Should I be concerned or do sections of grass tend to grow in at different speeds? Using the Scott’s spreader, I feel pretty confident that the grass seed was spread evenly.

Thank you.

I am looking at a major renovation. Kitchen, bathroom, and converting a basement to an apartment. I am looking for someone that can do the design and draw up plans for this project. Who do I go to and what kind of cost just for the design and blueprints?
