Our guide can get you started in the right direction to explore different search options and determine your ideal neighborhood for fixing up and selling a house. Happy flipping!

How to Find Potential Houses to Flip

Consider the Surrounding Area

When you start looking for your house to flip, think about the factors a potential buyer would want in their home. Perhaps a good school district if the house is large enough to support a family. For houses in a highly populated area, consider that your buyers might find more convenience in a home with easy access to public transportation. Cost of living in the area will also greatly influence regions of interest for buyers. Do neighborhood research when looking for your house to flip, so you can identify houses with appeal before you are to even begin fixing up the property. New Silver Lending has excellent state-by-state guides to house flipping that can give you some pointers.

Switch Up the Way You Search for Houses

There is no right away way to approach your search. One way to find houses to flip is to work with a real estate agent who specializes in house flipping. You can approach the search with their years of expertise and knowledge of the area. Another option is scouring local auctions for foreclosed gems.

There are also a number of online tools for your search. Surely you have heard of Zillow. This online real-estate marketplace makes it easy to find and compare houses. It also provides valuable resources, like a Home Sellers Guide and Foreclosure Center.

Stay in Budget by Avoiding these Home Issues

As you start the home improvements, you will quickly see that some projects are just out of your scope, whether skill-wise or budget-wise. It is helpful to identify budget-sucking tasks early so you can try to avoid them when purchasing the house initially. Some pricey issues include:

• Dealing with Water Damage or the Plumbing System
• Fixing Structural Issues
• Needing to Expand Bathroom or Kitchen Space

Tired of trying to figure out how to get rid of clothes moths from your storage space? We know these can be a pain to deal with, but since they are a common pest, Salisbury Storage Warehouse has expert tips prepared to help you gain control over the situation once and for all. Our storage facility in Salisbury, MD, is equipped to assist you through all your storage needs. Let our storage professionals guide you through the good, the bad, and the sometimes buggy parts of storage—whether you are storing in your home storage space or self storage.

How to Get Rid of Clothes Moths

Identify the Threat

How can you know for sure you are dealing with clothes moths and not something else? You will see holes and/or a web material in your stored clothing. Clothes moths especially go after natural, animal-based fibers, like wool, silk, and cashmere for the keratin nutrients. The casemaking clothes moth and the webbing clothes moth are about 1 centimeter long and yellow or gray, but the larvae are what actually do the damage.

Wash Your Clothes & Your Space

As soon as you determine it is clothes moths, you can start the cleaning process. It is best to wash anything that has been in the same bins and space as the affected items. Sift through to pick out pieces that are past the point of easy repair, and throw the rest in a warm wash (or take them to the dry cleaner ASAP if that is what their washing directions specify. After dealing with the fabrics, clean the storage space itself. Especially if the space has carpeting, you should vacuum and steam clean or shampoo it to ensure you are getting rid of all the clothes moths. Throw out your vacuum bag right after you are done cleaning!

Take Steps for Prevention

To keep clothes moths from coming back, there are steps you can take to organize your space so that you are not creating their ideal conditions. Clothes moths love the dark and humidity, so if you are able to visit your storage space periodically to open it up and air it out, you can keep that moisture from building up. You can also move around your boxes so they are not staying stationary throughout their entire time in storage.

Organizing rooms can be a daunting task. Whether it’s cleaning up the living room or sorting items in the kitchen, organization can be a time consuming and stressful thing. However, experts say that getting rid of excess clutter reduces the amount of housework in an average home. We know your new year resolution may be to get organized, so let Salisbury Storage Warehouse help you achieve this goal by breaking it down room by room. We have prepared tips to help you organize various rooms in your house. Check out these organization ideas!

Organize the Rooms in Your Home with These Tips

Living Room

The living room can be the hardest room to organize, since it is often the most used room in the house. However, a few small changes can help you organize the room with ease. If you don’t already have one, get a wastebasket for the living room that fits your décor. A small file cabinet helps to avoid clutter of magazines and papers on surfaces like tabletops. Toys tend to accumulate in the living room as well. To prevent this, convert corners into play areas with things like bins or small bookcases for storage. Making use of space under the coffee table with rolling storage baskets or cubes can add storage to the living room as well. Places that are hidden, such as behind the sofa, make great storage too. Add a trunk or small cabinet to conceal items like blankets and pillows.

Bedroom

Bedrooms might be the second most used room in a house. Clothing and other items can add up quickly and clutter a room. One great place to add storage is under the bed. Rolling bins make it easy to access items and keep things separated. A shoe rack is a great item to keep in your closet that helps to free up space. One tip that might sound odd is to make your bed. While this may sound like something your parents told you to do, it helps to prevent you from storing clothes and other items on it. Making your bed helps to keep the room more organized as a whole. Finally, vertical storage leaves more space in your room and keeps it more open. Tall cabinets or shelving are a great way to store items.

Kitchen

The kitchen has a lot of items in it, from cookware to ingredients. This can make it one of the most difficult rooms to organize effectively. A pot rack can help to keep some of your cookware out of the way and organized. You can even make your own by using a handrail and some “S” hooks. Spice displays are a great way to make ingredients easier to identify. You can use normal glass jars and make your own labels as well. For cleaning items, under the sink storage is the go-to space. You can use small hook hangers attached to the inside of the cabinet door to hang items like gloves and rags. This not only keeps them out of the way, but helps them to dry after being used.

Bathroom

Although bathrooms might not be the biggest room, they can still be difficult to organize. Keeping a plastic tub under the sink for hair products helps to keep counters clean. This helps you out when you clean the bathroom, and is also one of the best ways to keep the bathroom looking nice. Over the toilet furniture is an excellent spot for storage that doesn’t take up any extra space in a room. Use this area to store things like toilet paper or towels. Finally, if your bath or shower has lots of shampoo or soap, a shower caddy or basket is a great spot to organize items. This also helps prevent soap buildup and keeps the shower clean.

Garage

The garage can have such a variety of items in it that it can often be hard to find a place to start organizing. One way to begin is to add wall storage through the use of racks or hooks. This space can be used to hang items like shovels, rakes, and other large tools to keep them out of the way. Another place that you can add storage that is out of the way is the ceiling. Things like hooks or platforms can be used to store large items like bikes or other equipment. If you have a work bench in your garage, I’m sure it can tend to get a little cluttered. Some small storage cabinets next to it or above it can help keep supplies organized and the work bench clean for future use.

Playroom

If you have a playroom in your house, there is no doubt that it can be a difficult room to keep uncluttered. However, there are ways to help organize toys and other items that keeps them easy to find. You can store toys in transparent boxes for easy visibility. This helps kids find the toys they are looking for quickly, but also helps them know where to put them back later. You can also re-use other items from the house, such as a hanging shoe organizer or laundry bins, for toy storage in the playroom. Finally, storage that doubles as seating is a great use of space. Something like a window bench with a lid for storage underneath is a good example of a way to keep the room organized while using the space in an effective way.
