How to flip a house

House flipping involves a property investor buying a house with the intention to fix it up and quickly resell it. Basically, investors willl buy the home, make necessary repairs, upgrade the systems, style, and design of the property (thus adding value to it), and sell the house at a mark-up within a short period of time.

House flipping is risky, and creativity sapping. It is also very profitable, but if you don’t know what you’re doing, you’re sunk.
