Get In On The "Fix and Flip" Market

l Order a dumpster for the next ten days and get your demolition man to throw out everything including the kitchen sink, well if it's totally '80's.

l After the house is cleared, it’s time to paint. Let your painters blast the place with their airless paint-spraying arsenal inside and out. Within three days, you’ll have added a huge improvement to your investment. This is the biggest dollar-for-dollar return you can make. Make sure that quality paint is used. “When it comes to painting,” Dan Auito, author of “Complete Home Rehab in 10 Days,” says, “it’s the labor that kills you, not the material. If possible, insist on Sherwin Williams Super Paint. It is a miracle-type formula that covers up bullet holes without any patching compound and it lasts forever. It’s worth every penny.”

l After the painters leave, the flooring guys can lay the flooring, and/or carpet, which can two to three days.

 l Next bring in the cabinet installers, handyman, electrician, and plumber.

l Last comes light fixtures, vanities, toilets, sinks, doors, switch plates and outlet covers.
