One of the hottest trends in real estate over the last few years has been “flipping” houses. You see it everywhere, in books, articles and reality TV shows. Flipping is hot and why not? There are several ways to do it successfully and here is a list of the most common.

The first way we will discuss is the most common. That is the buy it, fix it then flip it method. Basically you buy a fixer upper and repair it then sell it for a profit. Many successful real estate investors have been doing this for years. They have tested out the system and proven it for you. The key is to purchase home as a bargain that requires as little fix-up as possible and you can typically generate $15k to $50 in profit.

In recent years, a number of lenders offered promotional “teaser” rates to tempt people into buying homes. Today, many people are feeling the pinch as those teaser rates come to an end and each mortgage resets to the actual interest rate. In fact, foreclosures are near record levels because of these teaser rate resets.

If a homeowner cannot meet their monthly mortgage payment once or twice, often, the lending institution will easily and happily forgive it, and simply expect the homeowner to “double up” on the next payment. This makes sense because things happen to all of us from time to time when there just isn’t quite enough money in the bank to make the mortgage payment.

Originally being from the outer suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, I am used to natural surroundings and an occaisional insect. But, since moving down to Florida, my knowledge of bugs has increased dramatically. Up north, there may be a few species of insect that can be troublesome. Down here, it pays to make sure the critters in your neighborhood stay outdoors, and don’t come inside of your home.

Over the years the tax laws have changed with regards to how the sale of your home is taxed. There were once laws that said that you could rollover the profit from the sale into a new more expensive home. There used to be a one time exclusion on the sale of your home if you were over 65. Those laws are now no longer valid and have been replaced by the current law.

Most people that are purchasing a home, and many new flippers and new property developers, may tend to buy with the sale in mind, loosing sight of the money they can make at the purchase.

For many, new to the flipping game, the excitement of obtaining that first property can overshadow the fact that they have paid too much for it. This can be especially true at an estate auction or a sealed bid sale. Whether you are putting in an offer, attending an auction or placing a sealed bid, you should never exceed the maximum price you have decided the property is worth, which is determined from your research.
