Here our three ways flipping a house impacts society, which could be affected if certain laws are passed: 1. Real estate investors create jobs.
This might seem obvious, but you would be surprised how many actually forget this. When I started rehabbing homes in Columbus, Ga, I immediately employed more than 50 people. For some it was a second job to work after hours, for others it was a stay-at-home parent who took pictures of our properties to make extra cash and for others, it was a full-time job. This does not include all the companies who supplied the materials that we needed. Just by rehabbing homes, a surplus of money was being stimulated in this small town’s economy. It was rewarding to see the impact my once big dream and now small company was making on many lives. 2. Real estate investors revitalize neighborhoods. When distressed homes sit in your neighborhood, not only are they not pleasant to look at, but they affect the city’s economy. They hurt the value of the neighborhood, which prevents the city from generating the best price for property taxes; they become hotbeds for crime, vandalism, and homelessness, which trickles down to schools, businesses, and government offices. It’s amazing how turning the worst homes and neighborhoods benefits more than just the people that move into the home. 3. Real estate investors help charities. With the success of my business, I have had more to give back. From helping veterans, sponsoring mission trips and feeding orphans, to paying for student tutoring and providing groceries to families in need, I have been able to make a small difference in others’ lives by just simply flipping a house. I don’t mention this to brag but to bring attention to the fact that communities all over the world are being impacted by the generous gifts of real estate investors.
