Work with a Professional Realtor with Investment Experience

The knowledge and dedication of your Realtor (hopefully me!) is crucial to the purchasing of a property with the right potential to flip. I can walk into a home and assess the potential it has to turn a profit.  I know what buyers are looking for and what renovations make sense in terms of ROI as an investor.

Determine your investment criteria

Numbers don't lie, the key to any flip project is determined by the numbers. What is your purchase budget? What is your renovation budget? Will it turn a profit?  When I take on clients, I only try and find projects that will ensure they meet their financial goals. If I feel that a project is not feasible, you can expect that I talk clients out of buying it. I would rather lose a sale than let a client get into a project that I wouldn't get into myself.

How to Add Value

Buying a property in Toronto will incur a lot of costs - Land Transfer Tax, lawyer fees, financing costs, and the renovation. To recoup these costs, you have to make smart choices in how to add value in your property. That's where I come in. I help assess your total budget, look at what designs make sense and help you spend wisely. When you are looking to renovate, prioritize what will give you the best ROI and attract the widest range of buyers.
