Back to Basics: Furniture Flipping for BEGINNERS | How to Make Money Flipping Furniture

[@dyanewilsonnanacupcake8504]

Oh my gosh, you have no idea what you started...you inspired me to pick up 2 peices of furniture a few weeks ago and started cleaning and sanding today after work. While I was in my garage my neighbor came over and said he had some furniture in his garage and asked if I wanted it. I mow have 7 peices of nice furniture that I am going to try to meet the 4 Ps on.

[@Alexandra.Timon1127]

Couple points. 1. The cabinet and furniture paint is latex based. As are most of their paints at Lowes, except Rustoleum. 2. Most of the primers are also latex as well. 3. You can use latex paint on furniture. Just make sure you add a topcoat. The spray one made by Krylon is quite excellent. 4. Most people are not going to want to clean their brushes with chemicals because they use oil based. Use latex and wash with soap and water. Side note: most people aren't going to dispose of the paint properly so probably only buy what you need. 5. Buy the mistint samples and use those for small pieces of furniture. Also pick up some plain white or black and you can make your own custom neutral paint for a fraction of the cost. 6. If you prime, there's no need to sand. It's an unnecessary step if you're not refinishing actual wood. 7. Chalk paint will stick beautifully you any piece. No sanding or priming required. For anyone in the comments reading this, I just to work for Lowes and am a paint expert so it's good information. Hope this helps.

[@mihir9608]

Could you rephrase the 4th point. English is not my first language.

[@antahmad]

I appreciate these points, as I was thinking some of the same things.

[@Miranda3730]

@@mihir9608 If you use oil based paint, chemicals are needed to clean the brushes, most people do not like to use chemicals. She says that if you use latex paint, you don't need chemicals to clean the brushes, just need soap and water.

[@troyellison3178]

I appreciate the pointers you've given. I myself am a carpenter, one thing I have learned in my many years in the trade is when painting over glossy finishes like faux wood pieces (think the old wall paneling), the newer fancy paints that don't require primer or limited surface prep are expensive. One option to lower cost is to hit the piece with a rough grit sand paper, wipe with tack cloth, coat with an OIL BASED primer using foam roller, two coats if needed (sand between coats), wipe with tack cloth again, paint with latex paint of your choice, apply several light coats of polycrilic to complete. Although the new chalky finish type paints are convenient they are certainly a profit eater and may be a barrier of entry to some new flippers. I have used the above process to refinish everything from kitchen and bathroom cabinets, countertops, paneling walls, furniture pieces, and more. Use the inexpensive brushes and foam rollers for the primer coats and dispose of properly after each project and get the quality brushes and rollers for the latex and polycrilic applications and wash after each use. The oil based primer forms a hard shell over the glossy finish of the faux wood which allows your latex to adhere to the piece just like it was meant to be used.

🤯👏Lauren... This has to be one of the BEST videos on painting/flipping furniture on KZbin. Straightforward, simple, thorough, reassuring, informative. I have watched approximately 10k hours (an exaggeration, but not by much) of painting and furniture flip videos over the span of a few YEARS. YEARS. I’ve yet to pull the trigger and actually paint something. Anything... other than my toenails. I freeze at the last minute. Was planning, for the umpteenth thousandth time, a trip to Lowe’s today. Started second guessing myself AGAIN. Overwhelmed with my product list, the steps, the paint, and everything else. What if’s. There are just so many do’s and don’t, products, conflicting reviews, etc etc etc. Just when I think I’ve mustered up the courage, I panic and run to the computer to do “more research”. THIS IS HOW I STUMBLED UPON your channel today. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I am going for it! THANK YOU!!!! (The hilarious (hmm... maybe concerning) part? This is for my OWN furniture! 😂 I have so many pieces I have wanted to do for several years.)

[@trixie9777]

I love your comment! I get the same way - overwhelmed with all of that you mentioned! I hope you got started & are continuing!

[@brittuceda2020]

Dollar Tree has a pack of 3 paint brushes for $1 about the same size as the one you used for your primer. I love getting those because then I'm only spending $0.33 per brush since I throw them away after oil based products. And they don't shed the way chip brushes do 😊

[@Amy-oy5hk]

You’re a great teacher. I’ve been playing with furniture for last 7 years, and I have a blast with it. One suggestion: A weeny roller with a high density foam for smooth look, is great time saver, and you’ll avoid brush strokes. Otherwise, I would have suggested a high quality brush, and then linked something on how to properly clean it, as they can last you years when taken care of. I’ve used the Valspar furniture paint, I believe it is an Enamel. So like latex, it’s totally fine to use on furniture, and actually holds up better than chalk or milk paints. In the long run. IMO, but we all have our preferences. I wish I had the teacher mentality, you possess. You explain things well. Keep up the great work!!

[@theresedignard4267]

I think you need to up your calculations. Your work time must be factored in, which will definitely bring you to charge more for your end product. A business person explained this to me when I was undercharging for my end game sale price. You need to “Pay Yourself”. Your time multiplied by pay per hour must be added. Then you add the profit margin you want, though most double the number of all costs and pay. This is still an awesome deal, given it becomes a wholesale price that you are selling outright. You can get your loans payed off much faster by paying yourself too. Yes, you enjoy your projects, but please ensure you sell your worth. I was so grateful when someone shared this tip with me, as it helped me when I too had college related bills. Soooo hooked on your projects. Thanks for sharing.

One other question. Are you married?

[@rmaria95]

This video is pure gold and so inspiring?? Thank you 🙏

[@robertabickford5246]

This was excellent. Your delivery of the process was professionally presented and I especially valued the shopping segment. My plan is to revitalize some furniture I inherited years ago. It’s for my use only. Thank you so much!!

[@aracelistejada5241]

Thank you so much for the step by step explanations. I get so overwhelmed when I go to lowes to try to choose what materials and paints I need, but you’ve explained everything so thoroughly that I’m inspired to go to Lowes right now to go buy everything to paint my bedroom set. :)

Luv this video! I started furniture flipping a long time ago. Stopped for along time ago due to my sales position but just recently my wife and I started talking about doing again for xtra income so we picked up some pieces and all are in process of being painted for resale.

[@helenknecht2407]

Thank you for this clear, concise demo and valuable information!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Happy that it was helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@dominiquealanis9313]

Thank you for this. I planning on flipping furniture so that I can be able to stay home with my 1 year old. This is going to help a lot.

This was a Priceless (6th P 😉) video. I have been following your channel steadily for a couple of months but still picked up new tips. Oh, and I like your rolling chair; that seems like a worthwhile investment that saves wear on your knees and back. Great job (again)!

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Love the rolley chair! Glad you enjoyed the video! (:

I don't know if anyone said anything about this specifically, but the cabinet/furniture paint is latex. It is just an oil enriched enamel. Which is why you can clean it up with water and soap, rather than needing mineral spirits. It can be deceiving for people seeing the enamel part at times, just like it can be deceiving seeing a "paint & primer" and thinking it actually replaces where we need primers. Cool vid 🤘

[@straightshooter7011]

If you have stains on the top from the water stains, you can paint with bleach after you sanded it. Then rinse with warm water .. then you can wax it or stain it. So the top can have a stain.. the bleach makes it brand new..

[@anneblimkie3431]

Thank you sooo very much !! I've been thinking about doing this for a long time but the more videos I watch the more confused I get. This was such an excellent video and definately inspired me to hit Lowe's for supplies and get started !!!

[@raeryan5959]

So informative Ty so much I struggle to remember right grit for prep

I think people are more after white furniture with antique handles ,i think it sells better . I bet that if you switch them to this style you can sell them with 170 $ ,especially if you do that brown top .

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Different styles sell well in different areas!

[@soaringsavage]

I haven't seen much information about cleaning and sealing the inside of the furniture. I would be the most concerned about that when flipping as it is where everyone's stuff has lived and would love to see content about it!

Very nice. I have 2 pieces of French Provincial laminate. I have a coat of primer on one but stopped. I bought a quart of JoAnna Gaines latex paint and have just heard such varying comments- yes you can use latex and no you can’t. I did the skuff , 1 coat primer and plan to do another then 2 coats latex paint then a polyurethane topcoat. I want to keep the first 2 pieces, unless they turn out perfect and then start some flipping. I’m glad that the trend has swung to neutral colors as I think the wild colors are just too style specific. Imitating high end store pieces offers the opportunity to buy inexpensive pieces that look more high end. Thank you for this great tutorial.

I can tell you are a kindergarten teacher as you explain everything thoroughly. I am a retired teacher, but never taught kindergarten. It has been very interesting to watch your videos; I have really learned so much from all of them about flipping furniture. I noted that in your videos that you use different products to clean the furniture. Is there a reason for using different products?

[@FurnitureFlippingTeacher]

Glad it was helpful! Definitely have teaching in my blood (: I just have an array of cleaners! No particular reason other than to show you guys different products (:

[@refabyouless1166]

Such an old soul. I love getting tips from you! Thank you for teaching!! LOL you said "to get that down payment on that house"...EXACTLY what I am doing!!! Thank you !!

[@mersaydiz17]

Thank you so much for this video, by far this is the most thorough and helpful video I’ve seen. I’m new at this and you’ve helped so much already. Awesome job!
