House Flipper 2 – Beginner tips to get you going

House Flipper 2 is a game that requires you to perform specified tasks to improve the condition of various rooms in a house so that they will prove acceptable for their owners. The game can be overwhelming, and the tutorial text doesn’t cover everything. Here are a few beginner tips to help you get started.

Embark on many quests

Different houses come with different objectives known as Quests. There will be a series of quests in each relevant room within the building. The more quests you clear, the greater your earnings when you finish the stage. When you enter a new room, look for an indicator to let you know there are unfulfilled quests. The indicator is disc-shaped and yellow, with an “!” on it. When you see one, that means you can access the pause menu for a list of local Quests to complete in the surrounding room. Once you complete all quests tied to the indicator, it disappears. You don’t have to complete every quest to exit a stage (in general, you can leave as soon as you fill one of the three stars). More is better, though.

Settle on an order of operations

Your reasons for visiting each new environment will change. You may not have to do everything at one house that you did at the building before it. Early in the game, you won’t have all of your tools available. Even so, there’s a recommended order to tend to everything, if you encounter a busy room with lots to do:

  • “Flip” any items you can, such as large dressers and lumber.
  • Throw out any garbage littering the room.
  • Clean any stains and grimy windows.
  • Demolish any walls that are marked for removal.
  • Paint walls indicated.
  • Refinish desired surfaces with tile or wallpaper.
  • Purchase desired furnishings.
  • Unpack boxes, as directed by the client.

If you take care of tasks in the order indicated above, ignoring any items that don’t apply, you’ll endure fewer inconvenient interruptions. Tend to one room at a time and complete all quests before moving onto the next room.

Shop smart

The store is stocked with enticing furniture and supplies. When you are flipping a house for a client, you can safely ignore most items the store sells. Only buy an item when you need to, as directed by a specific Quests menu on the pause screen. When you first access the menu, you will see a list of items under the Buy header that you must purchase to furnish the current room. Then you can (and should) purchase directly, without browsing the merchant’s full line of merchandise. It took some players longer to realize this than they would like to admit. They bought several items they didn’t need.

Clean obsessively

Thorough cleaning is crucial in House Flipper 2. If you don’t scrub away all of a racoon’s paw print when you first start swinging your rag around, you may have a difficult time finding it later. You’re much better off if you clean thoroughly from the get-go, so you’re not left running through the house at the end in search of some tiny little task you missed.

Drag the trash along with you

Taking stuffed garbage bags all the way outside is a pain. The good news is that you don’t have to. You can simply drag a trash bin along with you by using the Hands tool from the menu. Drop trash bags in the bin as you go from room to room and avoid a lot of backtracking. A bin doesn’t seem to be able to fill, either.

Keep the results of your demolition in mind

Sometimes, you’ll encounter a quest that asks you to tend to surface finishes or paint. These are more involved tasks, and you need to make sure to complete them to the client’s satisfaction. If you’re following the order of operations mentioned above, you shouldn’t run into problems. Sometimes, though, you might get distracted. Keep in mind that if you Demolish a wall or build new construction, you may produce additional surface area. For example, there may be a new row of exposed brick. In such cases, the quest you might have previously completed will be updated. Then, you have to return and paint or resurface a little bit more area. Several times before players settled on a proper order of operations, this situation caught them by surprise. Finally, they figured out what was happening and now you know, too.

These tips should give you an idea of where and how to start your house flipper career. Remember to tend to one room at a time, complete all quests before moving onto the next room, and be efficient.
