Happy Tuesday everyone! 💪🏽 I wanted to share a quick breakdown of my most recent flip — this one came straight from Auction.com and turned into one of my fastest (and most profitable) wins yet. 🏠 DEAL OVERVIEW
📍 Location: Sarasota, FL
💰 Purchase Price: $194,000 (putting $38K down)
📈 Appraised Value: $300,000 (gross profits = $106K)
⏱️ Timeline: 3 days to flip — currently listed on the market
💸 ROI: 122%
🧩 THE STRATEGY
This one was what I call a "turn-key opportunity with hidden upside."
The property was in great condition — we only needed to:
- Paint the interior
- Change the locks
- Do a deep clean
I used a DSCR loan (so not all cash!) and focused on small, high-impact updates like:
- Adding a larger bathroom vanity ($200 at lowes)
- Repairing the well system ($2,300 fix)
Those light improvements helped boost the appraised value significantly — without taking on a heavy rehab or months of work.
💡 TAKEAWAYS
Here’s the biggest lesson from this deal:
You don’t need to be a construction expert to flip auction properties.
There are turn-key deals out there that can still make you six figures in profit — especially when you know how to spot them, run the numbers, and structure financing correctly.
