Not all home improvements are created equal and you should enter your renovation investment with some understanding of the resulting home value.

You might be surprised to learn that replacing your entry door with a steel door has a huge rate of return.  According to the Cost. vs. Value Report a steel door replacement could give you a 104% return!

A minor kitchen remodel could gain  you 90% and a wood deck upgrade or addition could bring back over 77% of the investment made.

Flipping Homes in Western Massachusetts

Are you considering buying a distressed property in Western MA to renovate and resell or “flip”?

Before and After Flipping Houses
Before and After

There is a potential for making profits in flipping homes in Western Massachusetts, but the process can also be problematic if you don’t have good advice. I specialize in assisting investors with purchasing properties at wholesale or distressed prices and helping them to resell the home once it is renovated. It is important that you have an agent with experience in investment flipping to guide you, so that you don’t lose money when you should have profits.

A few major concerns: not overpaying for the property initially, not over improving the property, choosing the correct improvements and conserving money on less desirable improvements, proper pricing and marketing of the completed project to reduce carrying costs and aggressive negotiations and the management of the transaction to ensure a quick closing.

Western Massachusetts’ investors take note: if you have been wondering when is the right time to invest, it very well may be RIGHT NOW.  Here is the facts:

* the market dropped and has been (in most parts of Western MA holding)

* the interest rates are at all time lows

* the foreclosure and short sale inventory is still there

These three facts combined equal opportunity.

If you are either an experience investor or are new to investing, you need to evaluate these opportunities and it may just be the exact right time for you to make a move.

I have a lifetime of experience in investment property.  My parents owned investment property for both rentals and flip properties and I worked with them as everything from cheap labor to management on their investments.   I learned in the trenches how to read a profit and loss statement and how to spot a property with lots of potential for resale with realistic repairs.

As a REALTOR in Western MA one of my favorite things to do is help my investor clients find the right properties for their investment portfolio.

If you are an investor in Western MA who is considering  making a new real estate investment, I hope you will consider me as your trusted advisor.
