Fix & flip · BRRRR · Distressed acquisitions

Flip deals with the math already done.

I source fix-and-flip and BRRRR opportunities across Hamilton and the GTA — power-of-sale, estate, and as-is properties bought below market from motivated sellers. Every one is underwritten against real comparable sales, a renovation-cost model, and a conservative exit before it reaches you. I've run these myself, including the one that lost money when I broke my own filter — so the discipline is real, not theoretical.

Request deal accessSee the Distress Index
As of July 2026, about 16.4% of active Hamilton listings show distress or as-is signals and 17 are flagged power-of-sale — I track this every month in the Hamilton Distress Index.

The filter is the product

My best flip netted $51K in four months on-filter. The one where I broke the filter — took a structural, slow project — lost $55K and erased half a year of profit. That's exactly why every deal you get from me is scored the same disciplined way: fast, cosmetic, verified comps, a real max offer. Knowing which flips to walk away from is worth more than knowing which to chase.

Where I find flip margin in 2026

Hamilton remains one of the strongest flip markets in the corridor — detached prices are holding while acquisition stays well below Toronto, and motivated-seller supply (power of sale, estates) is at a cycle high. Toronto flips work at higher price points where the tax and land-transfer drag is offset by spread. I track the distressed supply across both every month in the Distress Index.

Fix & flip questions

Are house flips still profitable in Hamilton and the GTA in 2026?

Yes, but the margin is made on the buy, not on appreciation — spreads are tighter than the boom (realistic net 8–15%), and slow or structural projects are where flip profit dies. The winners are fast, cosmetic, sub-120-day projects bought below market from motivated sellers. I underwrite every candidate to that standard and kill the ones that don't clear it.

What discount can I get on a distressed flip property?

Power-of-sale and estate properties typically trade around 5–10% under market — the discount is condition and seller circumstance, not a fire sale. The real edge is separation: finding the genuinely distressed few among hundreds of overpriced listings. That's what my daily scan does.

How do I get your flip deals?

Give me your buy box — area, budget, strategy — below. When a flip or BRRRR candidate matches, you get it underwritten (comps, reno budget, ARV, max offer) before it's widely shopped.
