How To Flip Properties Profitably

Money is made at the point of purchase, not during the sale of the flip. So often people invest in a property with the hopes of generating a big profit only to figure out that they weren't able to make any money after taking into consideration the renovations because the purchase price of the property was too high.

1. Revenue is made at the buy, not the sale of the flip. When flipping a house your money is generated at the point of acquisition not at the sale of the property. So, frequently people buy a house with the explicit objectives of earning a big profit only to figure out that they weren't able to make any money after all the renovations because the acquisition price of the house was too high. When purchasing your property you need to be sure that you purchase the house with enough money to make renovations, have carrying cost, and add around $5,000-$6,000. The mistake was made at the acquisition of the home, not during the.


2. Get an inspection on the property - Get a full inspection done on your property. By spending some money on this expense you can save thousands in problems that you can not notice. Foundation, Pest, Wood Rot, Etc... By getting a complete assessment you can relax knowing that you know every thing that is wrong with the property before it is too late. Inside the agreement for the property you have to make sure that you have 7 days to have an inspection conducted, and if the assessment detects problems that are likely to be more expensive than you are willing to spend you can get out of the agreement with no penalties.

3. Don't do the work on your own - Get a contractor or a few sub-contractors and get the work done fairly quickly. You need to have your property flipped as soon as possible, to be able to get it available on the market and get it sold. Even if you do have the necessary skills in construction or home reconstruction, it is still not an efficient way to invest your time. Your time should be invested in searching for the next deal. This is how you get rich in properties.

Place the property at 1% to 2% below market price: If you want to flip properties and generate money the object is always to buy and sell the real estate in the shortest time, so that you can move on to the subsequent property.  If you happen to invest in a property and attempt to sell it off at a very high price to make an extra couple of thousand dollars on your flip, and find yourself holding it for 6 months you will be losing money.  Put the property on the market on a selling price which is going to blow your competitors aside, and you may sell it regardless of market conditions. This is what you need to do especially if the market is slow-moving.


5. Make use of a real estate agent - You should never try to sell your property by yourself. Leverage on the power of a real estate agent and also the effectiveness of the Multiple Listing Service method. When you do a "For Sale By Owner" you will be depending upon people driving past your property and reading your sign. With a real estate agent you have someone actively selling your property to get it sold. Once more this will clear up some more time that will allow you to search for even more great deals. If you want to help the process, Craigslist and posting your house in Google Adwords help too, however make use of these tools with the assistance of an agent to make sure you have all of the angles covered.
