House flipping is still a profitable way to invest in Huntsville AL real estate, if you know what you’re doing. I’m going to share one of the biggest mistakes prospective home flippers make and how to avoid it.
Choosing the Wrong Huntsville AL Real Estate to Flip
Nothing will make your venture into the world of house flipping a bigger nightmare than a finished product that will not sell. To avoid this, learn all you can about what’s currently selling the fastest and for the most money in your real estate market.
It doesn’t mean you have to pick expensive homes in up-scale neighborhoods. In fact, those may be the worst properties to try to flip, depending on your market. Typically, there are houses you can flip for profit in every price range.
Choosing the Right Huntsville AL Real Estate to Flip
The things you need to avoid when buying a home you’re planning to flip are basically the same things you would avoid if you were purchasing that same home as your primary residence. Here are three things to avoid when choosing a home to flip:
1) Distractions that would make living in the home undesirable such as nearby railroad tracks, cluttered shopping malls or major highways.
2) Crazy floor plans that cannot be easily fixed in a quick and inexpensive remodel.
3) Homes with major structural damage. Getting a home inspection is the best way to avoid this. However, if for some reason you cannot get a home inspection, always make provisions in your operating expenses for unexpected major repairs.

With the struggling economy and the move toward living greener, small houses are becoming more popular. You may have heard about the Small House Movement and wondered if living in a small Huntsville AL home is right for you.
To help you decide, here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about small houses:
What is typically referred to as a small house varies widely in size from about 650 square feet down to the extremely miniscule house of about 120 square feet. However, any home with fewer square feet than you’re living in now can be considered a small house. If you’re currently living in 3,000 square feet and you move to a Huntsville AL home with 1,500 square feet, you’ve downsized by half. It all depends on your perspective.
Does smaller equate to less expensive?
Most smaller Huntsville AL homes are less expensive simply because of the reduced square footage. For the same reason, smaller houses cost less to heat, cool and maintain. Of course, if you add on luxury features like marble counters and hand-carved built-ins, a small home can quickly go from economical to expensive.
Do I have to have it built from scratch?
Although the Small House Movement is fairly new, there have been small houses around for centuries. Depending on the area in which you live they may be called cottages, bungalows, row houses, town houses or even shotgun houses.
Whether you want a micromini house, a mcmansion or any size in between, I can help you find and negotiate a good price for it. Give me a call today at 256-508-0211 Direct or 800-803-0053 Toll Free or email me at mike@movetohuntsville.com to get started.
