Читать книгу Flipping Houses For Dummies - Ralph R. Roberts - Страница 50

Real estate agents (or house hunters) who know the ropes and have the right contacts can assist you in managing the two transactions that are critical to your success — purchasing a house at less than market value and selling the rehabbed house quickly at a profit. In the following sections, I explain the beneficial services that agents can provide and give you guidance on finding the best agents for your flipping needs.

Although you may be able to handle one or both transactions (selling and buying) on your own in an attempt to trim costs and boost your bottom line, I strongly discourage it — especially when you’re flipping your first property. You’re about to invest tens or perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars. A qualified agent can help you navigate the process and avoid common pitfalls that can turn a plump profit into a big, fat loss.
