The critical mindset shift for successful house flipping is remembering "you will never live there," which prevents costly personal design choices that eat into profits.

• Personal preferences are the enemy of profit in house flipping
• Example: Early flip where custom tiles, maple cabinets and high-end fixtures cost an extra $18,000 without increasing sale price
• Success story: Competitor spent $52,000 on market-appropriate renovations and made $60,000 profit
• Buyers want a "blank canvas" they can personalize themselves
• Focus spending on kitchens, baths, and curb appeal where buyers notice
• Choose durable, mid-range materials that photograph well
• Keep colors neutral to appeal to the widest possible buyer pool
• Avoid personal taste, statement upgrades, trendy finishes, and features the neighborhood can't support in resale
