Fix and Flip Houses- How To Buy the right house

By Jim Ingersoll

You have seen it on TV with shows like “Flipping Vegas,” “Flip This House,” “Flip Men” and so on.  The make it look like so much fun, such an adventure and so down right sexy to flip houses… nothing could be easier, right?

Leave me a comment below with your favorite flipping show!

They make it look so easy to buy a totally distressed house, work with the contractors to fix it up and sell it for a fast profit! The made for TV drama is always entertaining, right?


The truth is that I do not watch these shows, but I do personally live the “Flipping Houses” adventure!

You need to find the right house, for the right price, build a reliable contracting team, market to sell to a new buyer, hope they can get their financing, work through their home inspection and then collect your large pay-day. Your payday will not occur if you are way over budget on your renovation or you cannot sell the house for as much as you had hoped. My point is that the entire process much be managed carefully in order to reduce risk in this type of short-term speculator transaction. It takes a lot of experience and discipline to create a large payday in a short amount of time fixing and flipping houses.

As my friend David Phelps so often says, ”there are a lot of many moving parts when flipping houses.”

Everything needs to go just right to reap the ultimate reward. The good news is that the entire process can be set up with systems and deliberate processes with checks and balances to reduce risk along the way.
