What Does House Flipping Mean? • Flipping Houses is a business strategy that real estate investors use to earn profits within a margin of days to months. Usually, they buy a cheap but potential property, renovate and resell it for some profit. • Although there is tremendous potential to make a lot of money filliping houses, it is also possible to have losses on your investment when rehabbing which is why it’s important to not use your own cash or credit to flip houses.
Getting Started in Real Estate Investing Flipping Houses • Honestly, the best way to become an expert at house flipping is just to do it; make mistakes and learn from your mistakes. • However, you can reduce the risk factor by following few steps given below while you are just getting started in real estate.
1. Analyze your Financial Situation • Like every other business in the world, Real Estate, especially flipping houses require a good amount of cash first to buy cheap houses and apartments and then renovating them to resell for some profits. Analyzing your financial situation will help you reduce the risk factor of the business. You can invest your money (NOT Recommended), partner up with someone or take a loan from a private lender (private individual that lends money on real estate). 2. Find a GOOD house to flip • Flipping is not about just buying a house, renovating it and reselling. It requires a hell lot of research to find an excellent property that has the potential to earn you some profits. Imagine buying a house for 300K investing another 100K on it and when then no one buys it because of the neighborhood?
3. Do some Math to find out After Repair Value • Doing some math before making an offer to buy the house is very critical. You need to find the after repair value (AVR) to determine your profits. AVR is the estimated value of the home after buying and renovating it. • You can subtract your expenses of buying and renovation from after repair value to determine your profits. Even though it is just the estimate, you will get the projection of the benefits early. 4. Personally Supervise Rehabilitation of The House • Although you would need to hire a professional contractor for rehabilitation and renovation before flipping houses, it is critical you or your partner supervise everything personally.
It makes it important that the house you are flipping is closer to your residence because you need to go there often to make sure everything is going as expected. This is why it’s critical to have a partner when rehabbing in virtual markets. 5. Race against the Clock • Flipping houses is a race against the time. The longer it takes to renovate the house, the more money you need to invest. Even after renovation, if it is sitting there, you need to pay for utilities. Try to do the whole processes of buying and renovating to reselling as soon as possible to increase the profits. Use the Virtual Rehabbing Process to Leverage Your Time.
