Sarah Explains How She Funded And Finished Flip Two

Ready to flip your first house? Apply here: https://theflipsisters.com/podcast-program-applyMost of the women we work with start as complete beginners.Sarah closed in December and had the house listed just months later, even with Massachusetts snow, septic work, and a life that did not slow down. We’re hanging out with our student Sarah, who joined us in 2025 and has already completed two full house flips, and she’s opening the books on flip number two with the kind of detail real estate investors actually need. We talk through how she found the deal through a wholesaler, what it felt like walking an estate property with the owner’s family right behind her, and why relationships can be the hidden advantage that gets you access to opportunities. Sarah also breaks down fix and flip financing in plain language, including using a hard money lender for the bulk of the project and bringing in a private lender who reached out after watching her first flip. If you’ve been googling “how to fund a house flip” or “private money for real estate,” you’ll hear exactly how that connection happened and why visibility matters. On the rehab side, we get into renovation budget planning, a Title V inspection, septic tank replacement, filling in a pool, and how she managed multiple subcontractors while acting as her own GC. She shares what she upgraded (kitchen, bath, hardwoods, basement), what she skipped (most windows, exterior paint), and what she’d budget differently next time. Then we lay out the numbers: a $210K purchase, about $60K in renovations, a $339K list price, and a projected 15% to 16% profit with fast showings and an early offer. If you’re ready for more real-world stories like this and want help flipping in your own local market, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more women can find us.GOODIES1.
