Thinking about flipping property for profit? In this episode, we sit down with Martin Rapley — YPN's resident expert on refurbishment, development, and adding value — to break down exactly how to make sure your flip doesn't turn into a flop.
Martin shares his 12 top tips covering the full journey of a flip: understanding your market and target buyer before you even view a property, building an accurate budget (including the hidden costs most investors miss), reverse-engineering your offer price from end value, managing architects and builders effectively, avoiding costly mid-project changes, getting proper contracts in place, and staging your finished property to sell faster.
Whether you're planning your first flip or you've got a few under your belt, this conversation is packed with practical, real-world advice to help you protect your profit at every stage.
