House Flipping as a Business?
The market is crappy right now, and while people think it’s a great time to buy houses, and flip them, it all depends on where you live. Some states can’t move houses for the life of them, while others are moving faster than expected. The economy will turn around sooner, or later, and if you’re looking for tips on how you can flip a house the right way, I’m going to lead you to some books, rather that giving my own advice.
Since you can’t really learn house flipping overnight, I would highly recommend that you read a few books, and study online as well to get a good feel of what you’re getting yourself into. Since these home will be rather large investments, you won’t want to buy too high, and find out down the road, you can’t even get back for what you put in.
