Twenty years ago, if you had mentioned your desire to start flipping houses and make a ton of money in the process, people would probably laugh at you. They might not have even known that you were talking about a legitimate real estate investing strategy.
Flipping a house involves an investor buying a discounted home, usually with cash or private money from companies that partner with people who buy houses. The investor quickly renovates or “repairs” the property, thereby bringing up the property value to its “full-retail level.” When the investor sells the property, he or she has “flipped” the house, so to speak. But, is flipping houses for a profit even possible; and if possible, is it a worthwhile endeavor?
