I'm going to do it...yep, I am flipping a house in todays not so hot market...

I'm not too worried since I got it at a very good price, if it doesn't sell I can alway rent it...but it is still kind of scairy.

The people are still living there, but they are packing...We have not given them the heave ho.  It will probably be easier if we didn't..Who knows what kind of people they can turn into if we were not easy going...so for now we are starting on the yard work and the garbage hauling. 

Lucky for us it is in pretty good shape...I will have to rip out all the carpet and paint over the hot pink living room, and give the kitchen and bath some love...Over all I think it will be a good experiance and if I not only look at it as a way to make some money, but as some family time I think it will all go well.

A house across the street just went on the market last week and I went to look at it which is really going to help me.  Another thing that I have on my side is since I spend so much time with buyers I know what they like and dislike..

 

Wish me luck!!

Let us know how it goes.  This is a tough market to flip but all real estate is local and if you know your market well then it should happen for you!

Shari - good luck. Sounds like you have the right attitude about it in case things do no towrk out as you would like. It wouldn't work here, even with the price declines.
