flip: My First Flip - The finish line!
- 07/06/08 02:37 PM
It's finally here - we're finished! 3 1/2 months later and a lot of time and effort invested, my partner Rich and I have completed our first renovation project - the Clifton NJ house. We had our first Open House today and had a great turnout. About 20 groups (yes groups) of people came through. Not bad for not having advertised, just directional signs and some flyer's hand delivered to neighbors. While many of the visitors were neighbors, the turnout was fantastic and we were very pleased. So without further delay, I present our finished project.
Here's the front of the … (19 comments)
flip: My First Flip - nearing the finish
- 06/10/08 02:58 PM
Here's an update on the Clifton NJ house. It's been a long haul for Rich and I trying to balance our regular jobs as full time real estate agents and working on this flip. But we're starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. The house is really starting to take shape. Here's a shot of the newly completed exterior of the home, with the exception of final landscaping and a few finishing touches.
Here's the new kitchen still needing some finishes - countertops, appliances etc. But the transformation is incredible.
And here's a view … (51 comments)

Clifton NJ Project My partner Rich and I are into this project about a month now and we've sort of hit a wall. It seems once everything has been gutted, we've now got to play a waiting game with contractors. You see, we originally wanted to do most of the work ourselves - and we have done a good part of it so far - but time restraints from our real jobs as Real Estate Agents (things have been getting busy, thank goodness) and also the fact that the City of Clifton requires a Licensed Electrician and Licensed Plumber to complete those tasks ( because … (7 comments)
flip: My First Flip - The Demo
- 04/01/08 02:19 PM
Well it's been a little over a week since Rich and I acquired this property. Not a lot got done the first few days because we closed on it the Thursday before Easter - but I did manage on Easter Sunday to spend about four hours tearing down ceilings in the Living room and Dining room. This past Saturday we had the first of the major projects completed - the roof - which was in desperate condition. Here are some photos that I took today of the interior.
The kitchen - those hideous green cabinets had to go! The electrical in here is just a mess. … (13 comments)
flip: My First Flip - Part One
- 03/20/08 02:08 PM
My associate Rich and I just closed on our first investment property today. At times it seemed like this day would never happen. Over the past 5 or 6 months - I really can't remember how long - we've been attempting to purchase a property that we could re-hab and bring back to life and hopefully make a profit in the process. Countless offers were made and we always seemed to be either a day late or a dollar short. But we stuck to our guns and refused to get caught up in overbidding for a property. Then it happened. We … (14 comments)
