In this exclusive interview, Turner shares her passion for real estate and useful tips for would-be house flippers.
Oh, I’ve never been asked that question!
Well, there was a few.
That was my main inspiration.
I know how to help people.
I can get you out of this hole that you’ve dug yourself into.
How do you find and choose the house flippers that you’re working with?
What do you need?
Let me see the house."
Then we’re able to start working together from there.
What were some of your favorite moments from filming this season?
Helping people get to the reveal.
Oh, it’s such joy, tears, like, “Wow, we really did this!
You guys were stuck.
Were you going to lose your life savings?
Are you business partners that were going to fall apart?”
Money is usually the biggest issue.
We did it together."
I’m always like, “Listen, you guys are asking for help, that’s honorable.”
Most people don’t.
They’d rather let a house fail than to get help to get it fixed.
Again, [from] being in real estate 20 years.
I am a serial entrepreneur, so I’m always looking for multiple streams of income.
Flipping was another stream in real estate.
What do you look for when you’re shopping for houses to flip?
I look for market position.
Each market is different, and a market can change within a few blocks within Los Angeles.
I look for a lot.
I look at comps.
I look at ROI.
I look at, again, market position, and is it the house for me?
What are some of the popular upgrades right now for flippers?
A lot of my folks are like, “I really need an office.”
What are some of the biggest mistakes that people make when flipping houses, in your opinion?
As a real estate broker, entrepreneur, this is a business.
You need a business plan, you need a marketing plan, a budget plan.
You need a team, you need a mentor if you’re a first-time flipper.
That’s one of the first things I stress: Find somebody who’s done it before.
Page Turner dishes on her best and worst projects
What has been your toughest project so far?
A flip that should have been torn down.
I took on too much and I knew it was a tear-down when I walked in.
It was a big mistake.
What project have you been most proud of and why?
In life, I’m so proud of so many.
Every single house I’ve flipped, I’m so proud of.
I was having a tough time in life.
I’m so glad I was able to break even, but I was very proud of that flip.
Just about every flip that has my name on it, I’m proud of.
Wow, that’s a great feeling.
You don’t have to.
