Have you ever dreamed of renovating and flipping homes? If so, you’re not alone – but the real estate investing world can be risky. It takes creativity, skill, market knowledge, and even a bit of luck! EveryHome agent and first-time flipper Heather Famularo was kind enough to sit down and share her story with us.
A natural entrepreneur, it was no surprise that Heather decided to take the plunge into the investment side of real estate. Heather bought her first investment property, 1513 Yeager Rd in Royersford, from the courthouse at a sheriff’s sale. “I love the street it sits on, and the houses around it are beautiful,” Heather explains. “Plus, taxes are low for Springford and it sits on an acre of land!”
Heather’s favorite part of the whole experience? The hands-on work! “I was hammering down the deck and right there with my contractors helping with most of the jobs,” she said. Heather even did a lot of the demo work herself!
But like with any fixer-upper, it’s not always easy — and things don’t always go as planned! “There are a lot of ‘unknowns’ when renovating a property,” Heather warns. With most sheriff’s sales, they may only allow you to tour the property the morning of the sale.
“It’s a bit of a risk because you get the keys in the afternoon of the sale, you walk into the house and for the first time, you get to really dig into it.” Luckily for Heather, very few problems surfaced during her first home flipping experience.
