Top 5 Takeaways from Tucker Merrihew
5. When doing flips, having a good General Contractor (GC) and a good relationship with your GC is key to getting flips done on time and on budget with quality work.
4. Want to host your own podcast? Just do it! But you MUST be committed to continue doing it. As with anything in the real estate industry, having a high level of stick-to-itiveness is the key to success, no matter where the market may take you.
3. Relationships are the key to success. Knowing people in all areas of real estate can make your life easier and can give you resources you need when you need them.
2. Real estate business is a progression — don’t jump in the deep end right away. Start with wholesaling, or easy flips (carpet, paint, minor repairs); don’t start with high end flips (big investment = big risk even though payoff can be big). Learn on smaller projects where a mistake won’t bankrupt you.
1. Making big profits on high end flips is about three things: Floorplan, Finishes, Lot. In the high end market, you can’t force a property to be what it isn’t. Buyers willing to pay millions for a property won’t accept substandard fixtures, a bad floorplan, or a bad lot. Two of these you can fix (with enough money), but you can’t fix a bad lot (and watch out for flag lots!).
Bonus Takeaway: Everything Tucker does is done with intention, from the parameters of their direct mail marketing to their home design to their podcasts and software app. If you’re not going to set exactly what you want and go after it hard, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it because success will be difficult to achieve.
