In the past there were relatively few choices when it came to choosing materials for decks. Because of its low cost and resistance to decay, Pressure Treated Lumber (mostly southern yellow pine) became the norm for most decks built in the United States and Canada. Redwood was a close contender but because of its cost when compared to pine, it's mainly used for railings, decking and trim. Once a popular deck building material Redwood is no longer readily available for the Eastern part of the United States. Cedar, imported hardwoods like Ipe and man-made materials, which are commonly referred to as composite materials, are becoming popular choices for decking, railings and trim. In addition, all decks must now be framed using Pressure Treated Lumber unless specifically permitted by design.

Flipping a home can be a profitable venture if it is done correctly, and luck is on your side. One of the first rules to follow is to buy the worst house in the best neighborhood. Check out school systems, crime rates, and the community in general. No matter how much potential a house shows, if it is located in a bad neighborhood, it is not apt to sell quickly or for much money. Don't quit your day job! Yes, some people do this full-time and make a lot of money at it, but they probably started out flipping homes on the side. This venture is going to cost you time and money, and it may not pan out the way you hoped. Keep that income coming in, and then figure on spending all of your free time working on your flip.
Don't get too excited about your renovations. The goal is to make the most money possible, and installing the best-of-the-best is not going to help that happen. Learn to shop wisely. There is nothing wrong with paint purchased at Walmart if it is going to save you a few bucks. Visually, paint is paint. Potential buyers are not going to be wear-and-tear testing it - they are just going to be seeing how good it looks. |
