How To Flip A House

Here are the three big myths in real estate and the truth behind these myths to shed light to the clouded ideas of many.

1st myth

There are no motivated sellers anymore. The economy is going down and nobody bites to quick selling because they would always want to generate income in whatever move they make.

I think this one gets a lot of people because it is indeed true that the economy is in for a twirl. However, ask anybody in real estate how they are doing and you would think they are living in another economic world. Just recently when I was in a football match, I happened to talk to people working in real estate companies. When I asked them how many deals they were closing, I was surprised with what I heard. My ears were already preparing for lamenting words, however, one told me he was closing 10 houses in one month and the other is 12. Imagine: 22 deals and that is just for the two of them. You can still buy houses (and there are a lot of them) to be rehabbed. People are relocating, undergoing divorce and the last thing they need is a house to bother them. All you need is to look for the right house in the right area with the right motivation.

2nd myth

Second is that there are no deals out there anymore. There is no financing for people. There is no money and there is nothing people can do. It’s just that you can’t put buyers in the house like you used to.

A lot of people are concerned with getting rid of the houses once it is put into contract. But there is really nothing to be worried about. Just one mortgage broker can attest that he will be closing 20 houses this month with 17 of them going in the same type of financing and he is getting as low as 495 scores put through. These alone will show you that there are a lot of deals and people are still willing to finance.

3rd myth

I have not got a lot of money to buy houses. So, I can’t do my stuff in real estate.

With as little as 10 dollars, through wholesaling houses you can make a zero risk move with 5-10 thousand dollars gain just as long as you do the sell within the auction period. So, in wholesaling you can make a lot of money without having to use a lot of money so long as you know what and how to do things.

In whatever you do, there will be a lot of discouraging words that you would hear. But do not let those words bring your hopes down. Do not let other people ruin your plans because they said things are bad. See it for yourself or if you have a lot to lose, go to the people who are really in the playing field and ask them for yourself if things are really that bad. And only when you experience it or you hear from credible people, that’s the time you back down.

Flipping houses, for some people, may be a very good business step to take. It’s an adventure but it’s also something profitable if done the right way. However, there is really no clean cut course that could prepare you for flipping houses. No amount of theory could prepare you for what’s going to happen in the house flipping business. This is why most people who would want to flip houses just walk away and laugh why they ever thought about it in the first place.

Quite understandably, flipping houses is something you try with a lot of money at stake. However, like any other career, it is something that can be learned without having to spend a lot. All it takes is time - time to know the ins and outs of house flipping, have an expert give you a flipping houses training, experience a flip by watching how it happens, and devote yourself to gain experience and strategies.

1. Knowing the ins and outs of flipping houses - you do not know anything about house flipping or you might know something but it won’t help you make it in a business, so what do you do? You learn it, everything about it, just like how you studies for your biology exam. Theoretical knowledge might not be that good in the real setting but it helps you understand the practical set-up of the whole flipping houses process.

2. Learning from an expert house flipper - learn from somebody who has enough experience to come up with his/her own flipping houses for dummies book. Like how the kung-fu experts do it, hey work with one master and get to learn the secret trade of the kung-fu technique. It’s even better if you could spend enough time with as many experts as you could so that you will be able to compare their strengths and weaknesses in the house flipping businesses and work your own fool proof house flipping guide that you could use for yourself.

3. Experience a whole flip happening - This is where you can see all the theories working in action and you can actually get to experience the flip, even in an outsider’s perspective. This is a good way of having an almost-hands-on experience in flipping without having to lose a lot of money.

4. Take time to gain experience and come up with your own strategies and techniques in flipping - try to repeat numbers 1-3 over and over again until such time you can already do your own flipping. Then, do not stop there and still continue the 1-3 steps together with the whole flipping experience. Now, the most important thing that you need to remember is celebrate with your gains, weep with your loses, but never forget to learn from everything. Take note which ones you did were good and which ones were bad and which of them could work in what situations. This will require you to devote time - a lot of it - but this will assure you of a very systematic way of going through the whole house flipping process.
