Raising the Flipping Bar with Derek Marlin

Flipping houses isn’t just about major renovations—it’s about strategy. In this episode of Raising The Flipping Bar, I sit down with Travis Masse, our senior project manager at Elevation, to break down the Fix & List strategy.

We walk through real-world case studies and show how minor upgrades can lead to major profits without over-improving. Whether you're an investor looking to maximize returns or an agent helping clients sell for top dollar, this episode is packed with actionable insights.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
1. How the Fix & List strategy maximizes profit: The key upgrades that boost home value without blowing the budget.
2. Why smart renovations outperform full-scale remodels: How targeted improvements can attract buyers and speed up sales.
3. What common rehab mistakes cost investors money: Avoiding over-improvements and knowing where to allocate your budget.
4. How to manage contractors for speed and efficiency: Insider tips on hiring, negotiating, and keeping projects on track.
