Furniture Flipping Business // How to Get Started Flipping Furniture for Profit

[@francisroyalty]

This video just made me really excited to start. Unemployed right now,but I’m taking the leap of faith!!!

[@robbarnett638]

How did you go ?

[@dontwatchthat869]

same here, give us an update if you can ! hope it's going over well

[@jamesjackson3470]

I am doing this also. Unemployed from the corporate world and want to start something different, work from home, be there more for wife and kids. Any chance we could stay in direct touch? Maybe via email? I could use the motivation!

[@infiniteblade8014]

did it work?

[@andreas_reyes]

Harbor freight has an orbital sander for $25, get the 5amp hour battery and a rapid charger comes up just under $100, pay for the 2 year warranty on each and when they fry. It's super easy to just replace. Of course, it's better to go with a corded sander if you can, but with battery works for me, it lasts about 3 hours in constant use. I also have a drimel tool with the detail sanding attachment that is corded and make my life much more blissful on the smaller details.

[@sacredflame6739]

Stripper is might be another important tool to have in re-doing furniture

[@scleo1959]

This was a very good step by step video. Thanks! My issues were discussed: roomy transportation, storage space, work area.

[@mirandamom1346]

One thing KZbinrs rarely mention is that just because something is marketed as disposable doesn’t mean you can’t wash it and reuse it. Foam brushes, foam rollers and roller trays can be used dozens of times, if you have access to water.

[@adamnichols2421]

Dang...I don't have access to any water.

[@adamnichols2421]

Might just clean off in the local river

[@snaveekaj7492]

Additionally If you wash the foam rollers rollthem gently against the bottom of a smooth sink until clean, they rip easily if you twist them or accidentally gouge woth your nails.

[@makenzie1182]

This was so helpful!

[@FateTurns]

Let's say if you bring a friend in that can help you with tools, marketing, refurbishing/restoring furniture, free access to storage - this can become a company.

[@sacredflame6739]

Measurements of the furniture is huge! Also make sure you get the entire piece of furniture in the picture. Constantly I am able to find terrible pictures and people wonder why they were stuff does not sell because it was people have no idea what the heck they are looking at. Also went on marketplace make sure you post it in the right area that cannot be stressed enough do not post a dresser in the appliance section. If your furniture is not selling it’s most likely because of something you’re doing. Go back and look it over and figure out what you could be doing better. Another thing to stress is patients. Another thing to stress is do not go low after only a couple days of posting your piece. You want your piece online and that’s to say that you’ve done everything correctly before posting it do you wanna online for a good couple weeks three weeks I would say before even thinking about taking a lower offer. People will always try to haggle that’s fine. I do it all the time but I’m also very aware of how long the thing that I want has been posted. I’m not gonna ask somebody to come down on the price if they just posted their item or it’s only been up a couple days. Not only is it tacky but it’s rude. Charge a delivery fee if you have a truck a lot of people don’t have ways of getting there items and will pay a reasonable fee within a short radius. There’s a lot that goes into selling and it’s possible for anyone but it comes down to basic common sense and unfortunately the majority doesn’t have it. Have fun flipping

[@Quickdraw1111]

It seems most of the couch flipping videos say to deliver it for free (instead of charging a delivery fee), so you will have an advantage over other people selling furniture.

[@themikeblack]

Loved the video, this was awesome Logan! Broke it down so well

[@furnitureflippingentrepren1161]

Thanks Mike!

[@zhishi7534]

Gotta show love to Mike black!

[@bm4551]

So glad I found him! I also live in an apartment/condo. I cannot store things on my parking space. I want to do furniture flipping and was wandering how to go about it with my limited space. Thank you. I’m ready to embark on this journey.

[@Quickdraw1111]

Did you ever get started?

[@cesarvides9729]

Nice overview. Thank you.

[@dontwatchthat869]

this was super genius and super helpful thank you!

[@jenniferlynn6702]

Found you today and loved the information in your videos

[@furnitureflippingentrepren1161]

Cool! Thanks for watching Jennifer!

[@gladiator9495]

excellent video thank you for the knowledge

[@nolanmeyer4052]

I would recommend skipping the hand sanding only part and go ahead and buy a cheap orbital sander to get into it. it will definitely be worth it even in the beginning and you'll be a lot more efficient and can buy a really nice sander after making some cash

[@officewithaview-b2q]

We are on the same journey! Good luck!

[@robbarnett638]

How’s your journey?

[@susinok]

Check estate sales for tools. I just bought a. Dewalt palm sander in its case for $12 on half price day.

Thanks for the paint tip. Where would the discount rack be? I’ve never seen that when I’m in the paint section.

[@kentshrader6616]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jesse_anderson]

Do you have the video about staging posted yet!?

[@freedomring3022]

excellent video. straight to the point

[@furnitureflippingentrepren1161]

Thank you!

[@jackiesicilian5720]

i have no space, a smaller storage unit, but where do you get electricity for sanding or paint sprayer use there?

[@dwarning1]

Great video, how did you get electricity in your storage unit? That’s a problem I gave since I can’t find any with power outlets.

[@furnitureflippingentrepren1161]

Hey Donny, I've got a video that specifically addresses that issue because I ran into the exact same problem. Check out -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqDRmomaeJmbm7M. Look for the part in the video where I talk about the Ryobi Power Inverter. This is one of the best hacks Ive learned since getting started.

[@lisacarbajal3776]

Thank you so much. Your channel is definitely helpful .

[@furnitureflippingentrepren1161]

You're welcome Lisa! I'm glad it's helpful

[@vciq]

What part of Texas are you doing this ? I’m trying to couch flip but it seems saturated and margins seem low compared to some people I watch and see not sure even finding a simple sectional are priced so high

[@kattiacunha]

Thanks for the video dear friend, I'm an interior designer and I want to do the renovations as a hobby, but no storage in the massachusetts region allows you to do anything inside the storage, which storage network did you hire?

[@matssolberg7319]

Such a good video, you'll grow exponentially this year Im sure! Keep going Logan, Im subbed and buckled down for the ride :D

Thanks Anthony 👍

[@glorialozano7170]

Thank you

[@Andthen_londonjames]

Have you found that your sales have gone down this year? I've been flipping furniture for the past 2 years and was really successful until Dec 2021- since then not much has changed. I'd like to believe it's the economy, but it looks like some flippers are still doing really well... I'd love to know what your experience has been Thanks so much!

[@texasladybug981]

Awesome yet simple video. Thank you very much! I am trying to get started and go part-time or leave nursing after 20 yrs. I love being creative. I have a question, I bought a piece with glued on pleather on top of wood. What can I use to get the adhesive off? Anyone that knows I would appreciate your input. Thank you.

[@furnitureflippingentrepren1161]

My mom is a nurse so I know how tough your job is! Honestly I have never messed around with leather inlay, but I found this video on KZbin where a guy strips the adhesive and leather. Let me know if this helps ➡️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpjRfIydaZqsp5o

what camera do you use for your staging?

[@furnitureflippingentrepren1161]

Hey Miguel, I use a Canon EOS R, but any newer cell phone camera would work well too

Which vacuum was that exactly. Tried to like it up but saw so many different types but not exactly the same one you showed in the video

[@elizabethvillarreal1333]

How can I get in contact with you? I live in Austin and want to get rid of my sofa maybe you can flip it

[@omarjimenez8895]

Awesome tips, quick correction though. There's no such thing as "paint & primer". I work at a paint store and it's just an industry used marketing phrase. Even if a paint markets itself as paint and primer it's just paint. You can use your paint AS a primer, but it is NOT primer and it does NOT have primer "mixed in". Paint and primers are like two sides of a velcro strap

[@sacredflame6739]

Great content maybe next time no music

hope you know you can just use AI now rather than a staging wall, thanks for the vid btw

[@furnitureflippingentrepren1161]

Good looking out! I'm probably moving when the lease is up. I'm trying to find a place with a garage 😍

[@Quickdraw1111]

Yeah, I agree, I hate cell towers. It is hard to live or work almost anywhere nowadays without a cell tower nearby. To be honest, I'd rather go back to the old days without cellphones. And not only because of the radiation, but because of less human interaction & less living life because of people with their face stuck staring at their phone screens all the time.

Transportation- Got a hitch and I rent a U-Haul trailer $20

[@sacredflame6739]

I can’t get over how many videos about starting a flipping business never mentions the importance of reporting income. Keeping track of expenses and sales and also checking into the guidelines of where you live and what the laws are when bringing in extra income. Not all states are the same as I have found out. But to give off the wrong impression like this is just free income without any reporting is pretty irresponsible. Definitely make sure you’re within your state guidelines on what is necessary going forward in reporting this income on taxes.

[@rubietaseff8175]

I’m puzzle, 😮 since when have they passed laws about extra income? I mean I’ve worked up to four jobs before just to pay the bills so this is a legitimate question are there laws about side gains?

[@opossum632]

I wish you’d mention that you can’t just “paint” the furniture. You need to be good at painting or it’s gonna look like shit

[@Quickdraw1111]

Great point. I was thinking the same thing, because, I am not good at painting or repairing things either, for that matter.

[@EnfinLibreNM]

I love your information but UGH...the music over and over and over again is so distracting. There's a lot of free music available on KZbin, can't you PLEASE either use a longer piece than just a 2 notes and 4 bar repeat repeat repeat? It would make your videos so much better.

[@furnitureflippingentrepren1161]

You are not the first to say this haha. Yeah that's definitely something I am going to work on 😅. Thanks for the feedback!

[@EnfinLibreNM]

@@furnitureflippingentrepren1161 Let me know if you'd like some help with it. I've done hundreds of videos for clients (in my previous job), and your information is top notch.

[@narrowroad62]

The music (if you can call it that) is horrible. The repetition makes your video hard to watch until the end.

[@videovango9476]

Ugh the music.

[@smrtrthnu1571]

Picturing friends/family faces as i explain i need them to "act as my driver" for free furniture i find in the trash or set out by the road. But seriously, youre gonna be paid. Well, im gonna cut you in for a small percentage of the profit when i sell the furniture. 🤨 Then 🤦🏼‍♂️ and alot of 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sll-tt6bj]

I personally Thank it would be a mistake to put my furniture in other people's hands If it fell out of their truck and hit a car that's a lawsuit Furthermore you don't know how the furniture is handled and delivered

[@Quickdraw1111]

Yes that's true. But there are people like me that don't have a truck to haul big furniture (such as a couch) around. And also myself and many others have nobody to help us to carry the furniture into houses & apartments. It really takes 2 people to do this. If people in my position want to flip furniture, then we will have to take that risk of the delivery people we hire making mistakes. I have to take all that in to consideration if I choose to do this business. And I also have to factor in paying for storage to keep the furniture, since I live in an apartment.
