Flipping Houses: Turning a Wreck into a Gem

About Me

Flipping Houses: Turning a Wreck into a Gem

Five years ago, I decided to start my own side business. Along with keeping my job as a construction worker, I decided to use my savings to purchase an older residence. The plan was to fix up the place and then sell it at a profit. It didn't take me long to figure out that while my side business would take up most of my free time, it would make me a lot of money. Today, I still flip three or four houses a year. My strategy developed through trial and error, and I've learned how to evaluate the potential of a property first, then buy second. I know what must be done in the way of exterior painting, making the place secure, and ultimately finding the right buyer. If you are thinking about trying this kind of sideline, read on. What I've learned will help you a lot.

Reasons To Rent A Moving Truck For Your Local Move

 Categories: Business, Blog

If you are moving to a new home in the same city or town, you might assume you don't need a moving truck. However, even if you have your own truck to move furniture and boxes, there are still some reasons to consider renting a moving truck.

You Can Reduce Multiple Trips

Having a moving truck is very convenient as it helps you move everything in a single trip. This can save you time and make it a lot more convenient for you. Choose a size of the moving truck that will fit all of your furniture and boxes in the truck for a single trip to benefit from this further. If you have ever moved without a moving truck and attempted to use your own vehicle, you know what a hassle it can be having to unload your truck quickly, then return to your old home and repeat the process.

Extra Features Come With the Moving Truck

In addition to a moving truck, many rentals also come with other tools and accessories. Many moving companies have specials where a certain number of moving boxes are included, and many of them include a furniture dolly or traditional dolly so you can move multiple boxes into the truck at one time. These tools would need to be rented or purchased separately if you didn't rent the truck and tried to use your own transportation.

It Allows You to Tow Your Personal Vehicle

If you are having trouble figuring out how to get one of your vehicles to the new home without calling up a tow truck, you can benefit from a moving truck. These trucks often include accessories to help tow the vehicle along with moving your belongings. Perhaps you have a vehicle on your property that is broken down, but you need to get it off the property on moving day to bring it to the new home. This is when the moving truck comes in handy even for a local move.

You Have More Time to Load and Unload

When you aren't trying to take multiple trips, you have more time to dedicate to loading and unloading properly. You don't have to rush through the unloading process between multiple trips due to using your own vehicle. This ensures you organize everything properly in the truck, you don't miss anything, and you protect furniture properly when loading it since you're doing so without being rushed.
