However, the fact remains that not all the people who enter the real estate business, make it big. There is sufficient out there to make a living; but to make a real kill you need to master the basics of house-flipping.
What is house flipping?
House flipping is one of the easiest ways to make your fortune in real estate. There three basic steps involved here.
1. Inspect carefully the house you want to buy and ensure that the required repairs are not financially crippling. If it is possible have a home inspector look up the house so you will know exactly what would be the costs of repairs. Take note of the house\' location, model, size, etc so you get an idea how much would the house be worth when ready for sale.
2. Select a house to buy - look for houses which are up due to default payment, i.e. houses that are up for sale when the owner could not pay up the mortgage. These houses will be less then the market price and will set you off with an instant profit. These houses are usually auctioned, so you should be prepared to bid for the house.
3. Fix the house you bought - in case you can do it yourself, all the better. Otherwise, it would be a good idea to have your own team of professionals (carpenters, plumbers, electricians, etc) so you can rely on them to do a good job without costing you an arm and a leg. Once the house is in good condition, you should consider applying as much cosmetic embellishment as you can afford to. Change the external and interior paint, polish the flooring, clean the courtyard, make a lawn if there is space, if not just ensure that everything is sparkling clean and newly painted - doors, windows, fences, etc.
Now you have a house which you can sell for profit. You should aim to get a profit of 20-40 percent of the initial cost of house as profit. The minimum profit out of the deal should be no less than $30000/-. Some lucky deals can get you 5-10 times this amount - but these types of deals will come with practice and patience.
When you start the house flipping business, look for gaining experience in the first few deals. You will learn a lot when you go through the deal. There is no way any theory can prepare you for the ground realities of the market. Hence, nothing can help you better than hands-on experience.
If you keep at it, you will get better and better in recognizing houses that have great potential and you will be able to make good deals with the least investment. Keep in mind that whenever you make a profit, you should keep the pertinent amount for tax payment so at the end of the year you will not be constrained to pay large amounts of cash.
