Flipping Properties or Assignments

Flipping properties is a great way to make some money in the short term. The goal of the exercise is to find a property that you can get for less than what you can sell it for. It is important to know what the property is worth because you are going to sell it right away. A property can be found on your own or through a scout. In fact, if you are just starting out you can become a scout, looking for properties for more experienced investors, and collecting a commission for every property they buy. If you are getting properties from scouts or finding them yourself, you can buy them, do some cleaning and some freshening and sell them for a higher price. Generally the higher price is obtained by selling to an end customer.

Here is a Excel spreadsheet to see if you can make money at a Flip. Excel Flipping File Here is an example of a fourplex I am buying notice that it makes 10,748 for 6 months work.
