Quitting my corporate job 3,455 days ago, I traded office heels for a hard hat in real estate. This decade-long journey transformed challenges into growth opportunities in flipping homes. I learned resilience with every deal and renovation.

Here’s another income-producing strategy A DADU or an ADU is a legally permitted unit on the property of an existing home. Cities differ in rules and regulations when it comes to building DADUs and dividing these parcels, so check with your city for what these rules are!

They said it would take 9 months, but we got them out in under 3 weeks!We got our squatters out!

[Leka Devatha @DevathaLeka]

💔 Imagine this: Squatters take over your vacant property. They flaunt a “Craigslist lease”, but all arrows point to a scam. Seattle PD? They just wave it off as a ‘civil matter’. Now you’re stuck in a potential 9-month eviction mess. 😩

🏚️ The aftermath?

The power of design in house flipping can’t be overstated! 🏡 From captivating white quartz countertops in the kitchen to monochromatic palettes that invite personal touches. Design choices like a stunning master bathroom, are paramount in sealing the deal. 🛁 #HouseFlipping

If you’re considering flipping a home, here are some key factors I look for when walking a potential deal. 

—> Location: street access, neighbors, schools, appreciating neighborhoods
—> Floorplan: versatility, open spaces, nice yard
—> NUMBERS: is there enough room to fail?

[Leka Devatha @DevathaLeka]

@fortworthchris You should interview someone who had a deal go wrong over the past couple of years and go over what they did to overcome it. I like the idea of interviewing attorneys but a personal take is far more impactful and inspiring.

And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count.

It's the life in your years.
