There are a couple of homes in my area that are just screaming to be flipped. Probably were rentals at one time, but could be really nice if someone buys cheap and fixes up.
Does anyone know of any resources to have individuals looking for houses to flip?
Looking for interested parties who I could provide a piece of property for a possible opportunity. I'm not looking to take on responsibility...just looking to alert someone who flips houses to improve a current rental.
TA house that is an eyesore in my neighborhood recently went vacant, and the landlord is looking to rent the house again. The house is in dire need of an overhaul, and renting again will just avoid it.
Anybody have any way to stop a house from renting from a slumlord? I would love for a builder to come in and fix it up to sell.
Any thoughts?
his is what pidgeon is getting at......
The OP didn't even mention where the properties are. If there are that many slummy looking houses in an area, chances are the area won't make a flipper any money.
EDIT: I forgot that the OP moved into Ronkonkoma about 1-2 months ago.
Weren't those slummy houses there when you looked?
Isn't it possible that the slummy houses helped make your home more affordable?

What do you define as "area" ? 50 ft ? neighboring street ? across the LIE ?
I vaguely recall you saying you purchased a "newer" colonial.... and you got the best bang for your buck compared to neighboring towns, are the homes in your block the same age as yours ? You think that yours might have been flipped too ?
These days its becoming common to find one or two houses that the owners are lazy on the upkeep in any area, but the way you described in the other thread, it seems pretty bad. What is everyone in your "neighborhood" thinking to do ?

They were there when I looked, but they recently just put a 'for lease' sign out front yesterday.
I don't think the house in question brought the entire neighborhood down, as it's not even on my block and my block are all well kept homes. It is the only eyesore on its street.
That being said, I know buying in Ronkonkoma can have this risk, as there are places where these old bungalows sit. Just hoping to improve the area.
