Rhode Island House Flippers - Do You Have Your Team Together? - 03/16/08 10:56 AM
 
It's hard not to be inspired by the DIY shows depicting weekend warriors who buy a home at a low price and end up with a profit of $80,000 - $100,000.  What I can tell you for sure is that those figures are not common.  Listen carefully - You most likely will not get rich quick flipping houses.  Say that 10 times fast.
For a weekend warrior, what I can tell you is that if you plan, have a formula down and expect to make a nice, respectable profit ($10,000 or so)... you'll be much happier with your results.  I believe … (2 comments)

Rhode Island Home Show - THINK GREEN! - 03/04/08 08:47 PM
I was excited to see that the theme of the Home Show this year is "Think Green".  I'm very interested in the concept of green living and construction.  The home show will even give us ideas about how to recycle our current furniture. 
On Stop & Shop Day, there will be cooking demonstrations - you can find me at the cooking demo by the Green Collaborative, a creative Johnson & Wales student organization focused on the environment.
I also plan to enter the drawing to win a trip to Ireland.  What's greener than that?
