Most flips donā€™t fail because of the market. They fail because of these 3 mistakes.

1. Overcapitalising on the reno. Buyers wonā€™t pay extra for finishes above the suburbā€™s ceiling. Renovate for the buyer, not for your taste.

2. Underestimating holding costs. Interest, rates, insurance and utilities eat your margin every extra week the project drags on.

3. Overpaying at purchase. Your profit is made when you buy, not when you sell. Work backwards from comparable sales, not a hopeful resale number.

Get these right, you protect your margin and walk out with money in your pockets.

Save this before your next deal and send it to a mate whoā€™s looking to start flipping šŸ

Step inside this $90K renovation by my redmaneproperty student Jackson in Salisbury East, in South Australia.

Walked through the finished home with Jackson whoā€™s a chippy by trade, and the work speaks for itself.

The kitchen was a dump when he bought it, with grease on all the walls. Itā€™s now a brand new kitchen with a finish that holds up against any new home. The laundry got the same treatment, and the master bedroom was tidied up and kept as it was. The kidsā€™ bedroom and second bedroom are done too.

He realised early how much the reno was going to cost if he used trades for everything, so he picked up the tools and did a fair bit of the work himself. The bathroom fixtures and vanities were sourced for a fraction of what the tile and bathroom showrooms charge, and they add up fast.

The agent said everyone loved it. The only feedback was the back veranda. The whole house looks renovated, so the old patio stands out. My advice is to spray it, or strip the roof and put new sheets on from Bunnings. It costs next to nothing and gives it a more modern look.

Great work by Jackson. This is what happens when you know where the money goes and back yourself to do the work.

Valerie and her partner made $76K profit on their first flip, and it was a house most buyers would have run from.

A flier drop in Gosnells. An offer in under 24 hours. A $50K renovation done in 3 weeks around a full-time job.

After all holding and selling costs, they walked away with $76K profit.

Valerie says the first step was the scariest part. They ran the feasibility, locked in a contingency and took a leaner margin on purpose, because everyone starts somewhere.

Five flips and a buy, renovate and hold later, theyā€™re now looking at commercial.

Property flippers, renovators and real estate agents, we all speak a whole other language. How would you rate my descriptions? šŸ¤£

Renovatorā€™s delight: an absolute s**t house. Thatā€™s exactly the one we want.

Solid bones: structurally sound. Think double brick on a concrete foundation.

Blank canvas: itā€™s pretty dire, but you get to bring your own creativity.

Full of character: your old 1950s and 60s weatherboard or brick cottages. You know the ones.

Most people budget $25K for a bathroom. I just did this one for under $9K in my latest Buy-Reno-Hold project.

Hereā€™s where every dollar went:
Full height tiling: $4,000
Vanity with top: $600
Bowl: $300
Tapware: $700 to $800
Toilet: $300
Shower screen: $800
Plumber (labour only): under $1,000
Electrician (downlights and fan): around $500

Total $8,300

The part most flippers get wrong is that they get scared by the quote and never run the numbers themselves. My plumber does the whole house for $3,000 to $4,000. My sparky does the whole house for $4,000 to $5,000. Thatā€™s not a reno, thatā€™s a rounding error against the uplift.

Once you know what things actually cost, a bathroom stops being the scary line item and becomes the easiest win in the deal.

Running to the comments for all the incoming love from tradies and bathroom renovators on this one šŸ¤£šŸ‘‡šŸ½

$125,717.58 profit, more than double what the feasibility predicted.
Vipul Nagpal bought this one for $500,000 from a private seller via letterbox drop and a video inspection. Sold for $725,000. Funded with a money partner.

Vipul has done about 30 deals and now does it full-time. Heā€™s killing it no matter what the market is doing, because he finds markets with potential. A couple more are in the pipeline in regional NSW and one in Perth.

THE NUMBERS
Purchase price: $500,000
Purchase costs: $24,002
Renovation: $26,000
Holding costs: $5,030.42
Interest to money partner: $28,750
Selling costs: $15,500
Selling price: $725,000
Profit: $125,717.58

MEET VIPUL
Vipul is originally from India and moved to Australia with his wife in 2019. They now live in Newcastle, NSW. He started in IT and began flipping homes on the side after joining redmaneproperty in November 2023, then went full-time in property.

His approach is completely hands-off and remote. He researches locations, runs the feasibility, builds the right team on the ground, manages projects and keeps sourcing deals. It started as a skill and side hustle to build a roadmap to financial freedom and the independence to spend his own time.

THE DEAL
This one came from a letterbox drop. After the owner called, Vipul arranged a video inspection through his property manager, then spoke with the owner to understand why he was selling. He tailored his offer around the sellerā€™s needs, including a lease-back that gave him extra time to relocate.

The renovation was a simple refresh rather than a full reno, and came in at just $26,000.

What he took from it:
Always make an offer, especially with a private seller.
Adapt to the seller. This one was a truckie who preferred texting and disliked agents, so Vipul built rapport talking cars.
Educate sellers on the sale process rather than assuming they know it.
Renovate with the end buyer in mind, and watch the suburbā€™s price ceiling to avoid overcapitalising.

$125,717.58 profit. Remote, hands-off and built on listening to the seller.

The deals are there. The profit is real. And once you back yourselfā€¦ everything changes.

Incredible work Vipul. šŸ™Œ

This was one question from my live Q&A. The full session goes way deeper.

I went live and answered everything you threw at me about finding and flipping property.

This question was about what grabs my attention in a listing. Itā€™s not the size of the reno. Itā€™s whether the place is unlivable, because that shrinks the buyer pool and lets me buy well under market.

Thatā€™s one answer out of the whole session. I also got into how I find deals, how I work out my numbers before I make an offer, and the mistakes I see people make early on.

If you only watched this clip, youā€™ve got about 10% of it.

The full Live Q&A is up on YouTube now. Link in the comments.

Before you make an offer on any flip, your feasibility needs to answer one question.

Itā€™s not ā€œdoes it look good?ā€ and itā€™s not ā€œwill it sell?ā€

Itā€™s exactly how much profit you walk away with.

That means every number on the table: your sale price, minus your purchase costs, holding costs, renovation costs and selling costs. When you can see the final figure, you can make an offer with confidence.

If you canā€™t, youā€™re guessing, and guessing is how flips go wrong.

Be honest, have you ever made an offer without knowing your exact profit? Comment YES or NO šŸ‘‡šŸ½
