Here is our third article in our 4 part property investment strategy series that will show you how to use the current property market conditions to make immediate profits, create positive cash flow and also how you can reduce your overall risks by using sensible strategies.You maybe thinking, why would anyone want to buy property now, especially with prices falling? Well these kinds of market conditions create massive opportunities for property investors to pick up bargain property deals at well below market value so they can make immediate profits.We believe that now is a great time to buy as long as you have a focused buying strategy. It is a buyers market and property investors have huge bargaining power to pick up property deals at well below market value.However, I suggest that property investors focus on the following three types of property deals;Buy distressed properties in need of work and renovation. This is the tried and tested way of making money from property. And with property prices falling, an estimated 85,000 properties laying empty in the UK and new VAT laws that are charged by tradesman for properties that have been vacant for two years or more to just 5% this means that investors can not only buy these properties at well below their market value but there are lots of incentives to renovate property at the present time.Another good tactic would be to buy repossessed properties that can be bought well below market value. This has been a classical way that property investors have bought property at massive discounts for years, and with repossession numbers set to rise considerably during 2008, it has never been a better time to hunt for these kinds of property deals. We can personally vouch through our own work that estate agents hold plenty of repossessions so our advice is hunt for the best deals and bargain hard!One of the most popular ways of buying property at a large discount is to target motivated sellers. A motivated seller is someone who needs to sell their property quickly and savvy property investors are targeting these kinds of owners and offering a swift sale(say within 14 days) so that the vendor can fend off repossession for instance and in return, negotiates a big discount of say 25% to 30% off the asking price. Many property investors are adopting this strategy currently and providing you have sound methods of finding these kinds of deals, this can be a very powerful strategy of buying bargain property.I hope that you can see that these market conditions hold a lot of opportunities for savvy investors to pick up bargain deals. The best time to buy property is now, as it is a buyers market and you can buy cheaply and it is now that the next crop of successful property millionaires will be born because the savvy property investors are now snapping up properties cheaply as they know that in the future prices will rise once again and they will be sitting on huge amounts of equity.This concludes our third article in our property investment strategy series. Having a clear buying strategy and buying property below market value is a clear route to making instant and quick profits through property. The current market conditions are right to implement this strategy to good effect. Remember, that the majority of profits from property are made when you buy a property and not when you sell it.

When we left off last time the countertops had been templated, the trim was freshly painted and the hardware had been ordered. The hardware took about 1 week to arrive. We chose the Menlo Park 4″ pull from Schlub in chrome because I think the pull has the perfect mix of square and some rounded elements that make it a great transitional hardware option. We went with all pulls for the drawers and doors since the knob option in that line weren’t our favorite.

Guest Bathroom Reno: Quartz Countertops and Grout – One Room Challenge Week 5
The electoral is being relocated for the new lights. There are some drywall and painting touch ups to do and plumbing fixtures to be hooked up. Plus adding all the finishing touches ???? All those little things like towel hooks, curtain rod, and accessories will bring this whole thing together.
It’s been too long since I’ve updated and even longer since this work has been started. This is me sharing remodel updates, mostly for myself (but also for my nagging family members). I’m sharing photos of the progress that has been made while also document the craziness that has gone on. This is just the beginning of the remodel.
Prior to moving in I had 3-4 weeks where my apartment lease overlapped with the possession of my townhome. This allowed me, with the amazing help of my family, to paint, tear-out carpet and somewhat put back together the upstairs portion of my place so that I could have a clean room to put a bed. At least one that wasn’t completely torn apart. One area that felt more livable that the rest. If you haven’t seen or don’t remember these are the before photos from when I took possession. To list it out here are the main things that I was tacking during those week prior to me moving in.
Phase 1 Remodel Projects
ripping out baseboard, carpet and tack strips upstairs and preparing for new hard surface flooring. (this flooring will go throughout minus the stairs and bathrooms/laundry)
installing flooring upstairs (one of my installers did this)
mostly gutting the master bathroom
installing a new tub and rough in plumbing for the master and powder bath
ordering and installing a rift white oak vanity for the master
Painting (and priming where needed) the ceilings and walls of the bedrooms. Caulking and painting the crown molding in the master
replacing and upgrading the baseboard heater in the master and patch the drywall
painting the hallway and down through the stairwell
adding skirt board to the stairs
installing new carpet and pad on the stairs (my carpet installer from work did this)
removing upper cabinets on the fridge side in the kitchen
partially demoing the wall diving the kitchen (prepare to move switches, outlets, heater and thermostat)
removing drywall on wall next to bar in dining area
painting the downstairs powder bath and removing vanity to prepare for a new floating vanity
Those were the main projects that took place and then I moved in the day after Thanksgiving. Getting rid of the original, nasty cat carpet and new flooring made a huge difference to the upstairs. Also neutralizing and lightening the paint made things feel so much more fresh. I still have no baseboards but I’ll get on that one day! For now here are some photos that I snapped along the way.
It’s been a while since been posting on here but I have some new updates and projects that I have been working on. Last summer into fall I was house hunting while knowing the lease on my apartment would be expiring end of the 2019. It felt a little crazy but was a fun process for me. After a bunch of searching I found and closed on a new home!
I was lucky enough to have a few weeks of overlap with my apartment (I ended up moving out 1 month early) so I was able to get started on projects and updates prior to moving in. I’ll share more about those in the coming weeks (there are still so many unfinished things!) but for now I think it’s best to start with some before photos. Also, follow along on Instagram where I post current project updates more often. The pictures show it in the state I bought it in. It’s a great first place to me and was functional as-is but as you might expect I’m here to make things my own by doing updates that I will enjoy while living here and that will also add value and functionality to the space down the line when I sell… or maybe even keep it as a rental. My dog, Nova, has been enjoying the space as well ???? There are a couple of things to miss about my Bothell apartment but I am very ready to have my own place and space.
