It’s not as Easy as on Tv
There is talk on a TV Show that talk about flipping houses. Flipping is the name given for houses that are old and run down, people buy these houses for a margin of its true value, revamp it, and sell it for a profit. This t! akes time and requires you to put more money into it, but the returns can be great. It’s a more specific type of investment but it is getting popular with many general real estate people.
The problem is that when the economy turns bad you are stuck with not only the properties you need to get an inflated dollar for but also you have to pay your contractors. This is the really risky side of general real estate that only experienced people should attempt.
