Emails: Questions@flippingamericaradio.com Tell us where you’re from!
- Ellen, Villages of Ocala, FL, “We are trying to maximize the returns on our self-directed IRA. We started a little late in the game and don’t really have enough money in there to buy and flip a house. Any suggestions?”
- Karenza, Long Beach, CA “I want to dive into buying rental properties here in southern california. My question is, am I too late?”
- Britney, Penn Hills, PA “My husband and I are finishing up our first flip -- so exciting! We are having a discussion about interior paint colors. Our property is in an area that has a lot of investor activity with trendy styles and colors. I want a bold color scheme, but my husband wants builder’s beige. Can you settle the debate?”
- Wally from Aurora, CO “I want to invest in the marijuana industry. What are your thoughts?”
- Allie, Milwaukee, WI “I’m looking at an older home - about 50 years old. In the basement, the wall is cracked and bulging out just a little. The bulge is about 5 feet off the floor, and it’s no more than 2” out of plumb with the wall, but the entire wall is slightly displaced. I looked for cracks in the walls upstairs and didn’t see any. The seller told me they completely remodeled the house 10 years ago and tore out the plaster walls and put in new drywall. This could be a nice profitable project but how concerned should I be?
- Frankie, Manchester Maine, “You seem to buy just about anything. What are things you DON’T or WON’T do?”
- Suzanne, Tampa FL “How do you do your show three times a week, post on social media like nobody’s business, teach house flipping, make videos AND run your business? I’m not trying to challenge you. I really want to know how you do it?
