So if you’ve played House Flipper, you know you can buy houses to flip. That’s literally the point. Well, before you can, you’ll need to work some jobs for other people then buy your first home. Which brings us to the whole point of this article. Let’s discuss this first home.
To clarify, this is rhe first home that you can purchase. This is not the starting office, which is quite tiny and is a mess overall. That’s a whole other subject. Anyway, let’s begin.
Three Rooms
Alright when I think about a house layout, my first thoughts are:
Living room
Kitchen
Bedroom
Bathroom
Alright so the first house has a poor design and really isn’t made for a home setup. Two rooms and one bigger room, which is basically the hallway. That’s all you have. Okay, so you can add walls and destroy them, but it doesn’t offer much room to do that.
Worth the Money?
The house costs roughly $35K to buy. I ended up painting both rooms, then putting tiles on the bathroom. Bought a new washer, some other appliances, and when it sold, I came out a little over $2K ahead. So, is it actually worth buying and flipping? Time wise, I would say probably not. Might be better off doing a couple more jobs for some more money and then buying the next house in line or the third.
Now it’s worth mentioning I didn’t have to spend a lot of time with this house prior to flipping. At most, it was an hour and I had everything setup how I wanted it. Still, could that hour have been better spent for the money I received? Perhaps.
Conclusion
Should you skip the first house or not? Well that decision is entirely up to you. I feel like I wasted time on it myself and could have gotten more out of other houses. If you don’t have this game, House Flipper is available on Steam, (paid links) PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Though, I would avoid the Switch version personally. I explain that in detail here.
As always, happy gaming.
