House flipping can be a very profitable business and investment if you know how. It would be good for me me to mention the different methods used for those who really want to know how to flip a house.
- Firstly there is “Retailing”. This is where you buy a beat up, run down old house, fix it up, then sell it. You need to buy a house of course that’s not too beat up that it would cost you too much to repair, that it would drive the price too high you cannot sell it.
- Second, is “Wholesaling”. Here you buy a house but sell it to another investor who does the repairs. Effectively, both of you should have enough room to profit.
- Lastly we have “Assigning Purchase”, where you commit to a homeowner to buy their property but have some other investor make the payment and buy the house. You make money here as you will sell the right to purchase for a fee of course. If done right, this is actually one way of investing in real estate without using your own money.
You might be asking, why another investor should be interested to buy a house or pay for an agreement. Well, because not all investors do what you do searching for possible investment property. Some simply want to buy and pay a fee.
