HOW DO I ENSURE A
SUCCESSFUL FIRST FLIP?
Flipping houses
can be a profitable
endeavor but it is
important to work
with an experienced real estate agent to find a
potential property. A successful flip requires the
perfect combination of a great location and the
right price with plenty of room to increase the
value of the home. A real estate agent has the
experience and knowledge to help you locate
properties that hit all the right criteria to be a
successful flip and help you avoid properties
and locations with hidden pitfalls.
A real estate agent can also help you deter-
mine which renovations will give you the best
return on investment and give you valuable
insight into the type of lifestyle that is repre-
sented in the neighborhood. This can help
avoid wasting money on renovations that
will not bring profit and also help you choose
styles, finishes and features that will appeal to
potential buyers. - Jayson Shmyrko, CIR Realty, www.

CAN I USE BLEACH TO
CLEAN MOLD?
Many homeowners will use bleach to try to
clean mold but this is not recommended for
use on non-porous materials like drywall and
wood because it can’t completely kill the mold.
Bleach is also a harsh chemical which can
lead to health issues down the road. We use a
special antimicrobial that kills mold on contact.
It's all plant-based with no harsh chemicals so
it's safe for pets, children and the elderly. - GTA
