COUCH FLIPPING - The Best Side Hustle No One Talks About (PART 2)

[@nicolesieber16]

The reason why the couch video is more popular than real estate is the WAY lower barrier to entry.

[@jessicak4223]

And far less risk.

[@milleniallgt9715]

Cuz it’s something everyone can start with not much money, and you can make a lot, better than a day job.. with Realestate, it takes money to make money…

Went from no couches to flipping 5 a week! Thank you!

[@JustinBaylessMedia]

Appreciate you making this video, it came at the perfect time. I’ve had a bunch of expenses come up and needed some good ways to make money. I’ve already bought and sold my first two couches for a total of $250 profit and I just stocked up a few more. By the end of the week I should have made $600 in my first week of this alone!! Been renting a U-Haul open trailer since I don’t have a truck anymore, and it’s been working great so far. Only $25 for every 24 hours I need it.

[@serviceproper]

[@reyfamtv2123]

This is great I watched the 1st one already. Im a flipper myself. Done anything I could get my hands on. Bought lockers for cheap, did a few auctions in some warehouses and stored a lot in some units I had rented. The couches I sold were black leather click clack couches. I scored 3 brand new in the box for $50 each if I remember correctly. I had so many messages it was tuff lol. Leaned back into a futon bed or an angled couch. Sold each 1 for $150 fast. So light and easy to move, and after seeing this video it makes me want to do it again lol. Great content, keep it up!

We started doing furniture flipping on our channel as well! Seems more attainable to people than real estate investing. If only they knew that house flipping is the same concept, just more zeros! 😂Find an undervalued item, present it in the best way, and boom profit!

[@mrdhksan]

Thank you! I appreciate your taking the time to read the comments and address them in an actual 2nd video!

[@boomieboo]

For blind deliveries where they insisted on delivering a couch sight unseen, would you recommend a digital downpayment or small upfront fee (that you would deduct from the price of the couch) to cover yourself if they flaked? If so how much would you ask for? I think around $20-$40 might suffice but you'd know best.

[@matthewzigrang]

So to recap. I buy used couches on FB market place, Craigslist. I clean it and repair minor issues. I sell it on Craigslist.

[@dontaefernandez]

Hey Ryan I want to first say thank you for the free info on what you did. I’m on pace to make a extra 3k this month based on the side of my job from this idea. Wanted to ask you though, do you prioritize customers who want it delivered over customers who want to see it first?

[@Smokeyfilms_]

He dropped a second video! Thank you so much brah!

[@BenGarseeya]

I think it’s because ppl see couch flipping as less risk and a low barrier to entry 🙌🏽

[@RyanPineda]

They definitely do.

[@willpatterson7933]

How long would you find yourself holding onto couches before reselling them?

[@2_572]

Have you found out yet?

[@walkerskii]

I found it unusual that you never figured out how much more practical a van would have been over a truck. It's lower to load it, protected from weather, more space inside & hides the furniture

[@fakehandle666]

A van is a confined space, you can have furniture hanging off the bed of a truck as long as you tie it down. Also with a storage unit weather isn't a concern

[@ogrbell8297]

Trucks can be covered. They also cost less than a work van.

[@rodolfovesga979]

Cool video I’m definitely going to start flipping couches lol

[@EckoMunky]

Question, when you had them go to your "warehouse" how did you explain all the couches you had? Not awkward? "oh i flip couches..." ._.

[@rombusworkmoney22]

To whom do you think he had to explain anything? Be less dependent on other people's opinions!

[@carsnob]

@@rombusworkmoney22 Ya I don't get why people don't understand this. If someone wants something and thinks the price is perfect they shouldn't care if you're reselling it or how much you got it for.

I believe he mostly delivered them himself

[@jackiejack2031]

Me too, I bought a used couch & love seat a couple years ago for 350., it was really nice. I also picked it up. So I think he's right on the free delivery.

[@michaelcrump7225]

A couple lessons from an active furniture reseller: 1) you absolutely can sell sofas for above 500. You just have to find the right ones. I just sold two Ethan Allen sofas for 1,000 bucks each. name brands are everything in he sofa world. If that sofa you’re sitting on is really worth $2,400 then I would probably sell for $700-$1000 (if its in great shape). 2) bed bugs can be anywhere. ANYWHERE. It doesn’t matter if your place is clean or dirty. The biggest at risk sofas are people who travel often. That’s how bed bugs get around. They are hitchhikers. 3) invest in the right vehicle. Buy a box truck or a cargo van. A pickup is a good start but if you want to get serious, upgrade to a box truck as soon as you can afford it. You will be thanking me when your hauling away that 3k sofa in your nice dry cargo van meanwhile while its dumping rain outside. 4) You don’t need a helper. This is something you can absolutely do yourself (like ryan said). People are trying to get rid of there sofa. When you find a deal its probably because they are moving or their new sofa is on the way and they have to get rid of their old one. 9 times out of 10 they are more than willing to help load up. Every once in awhile you will have someone who doesn’t want to help and in that case you might have to hire help or find someone to help. 5) I never offer free delivery unless the sofa is a major cash cow or the delivery address is within 10 miles. Actually part of my income is based on charging for delivery. Sofas sell so well its not worth it. I always have a flat rate for delivery that is affordable to the customer but worth it to me. If the customer doesn’t like the charge then there is always someone else willing to buy. The concept of free delivery is sound, but in in reality, you just unknowingly started a free moving company. Thanks for making these videos! I really enjoyed the first part. You have inspired myself to document my furniture reselling adventures.

[@neweralearning]

What material couches should I look for? You mention cushion covers, but again, what meterial has cushion covers and what doesn't.

My partner is doing this and crushing it. We didn’t even know about you and just started 18 months ago and she has built It to a superb business. We have a professional cleaning machine as you have to clean the frames and not just the cushions. Also household cleaning products strip the dyes out of the cushions so we use the chemicals for the machine in the washing machine and everything is fine. Always vacuum everything as lots of dirt comes out just doing this

[@funnellsites1557]

The reason your couch flipping video was much more popular than your real estate videos is because couch flipping requires less capital and is essentially less of a risk than real estate and people like low risk with a relatively high return on investment. Which it seems like couch flipping provides

doesn't dragging the couches to get into storage units scratch the bottom of the couch / couch legs though??

New to flipping, is it wise to create an LLC when flipping couches? Since you were very profitable, I was just wondering on if an LLC would be good or how you went about taxes.

[@gameANDchange]

I got really motivated by part one today and searched my area. Saw a curb alert, 2 free leather couches. A set. I drove over there at almost 5 p.m., thinking it was too late in the day and it would be wasted time, but they were still there and they were wrapped in plastic so they were protected from the rain. I threw them in my truck and drove away after spreading them out and taking pictures of them from every angle. I parked at a near by gas station to list them on Craigslist, offer up and fb market place. A few people have contacted me about them but then they stopped responding. They have some wear and tear and the love seat has a small rip. I disclose all that and they can see in the pics. I'm offering free delivery, but I hope I'm not over charging. $300 for the set.

Most cars can pull about a thousand pounds no problem. Put a receiver hitch with wiring for towing on the back of your car and buy a small trailer from harbor freight.
