Отрывок из книги
Maybe you know somebody who buys and sells houses and makes as much money on a single transaction as you make in a year. Or perhaps you caught an episode of one of those house flipping TV shows that demonstrate just how easy it is to buy a house for $250,000, fix it up for another $75,000, and sell it for a half million bucks in a matter of days. Now, you want in on the action. You want your slice of that capitalistic cannoli.
But where do you start? You can’t imagine where you’d be able to get your mitts on the cash you’d need to finance a flip. You have no idea where to start looking for undervalued properties, and even if you could find a suitable house to flip, your expertise in the field of home repairs is limited to plunging the toilet. Surely you’re not qualified to invest in the complicated world of real estate.

No two flippers have the same strategy. Some choose to live in the house they flip, while others find that too stressful. Some flip the house they live in every two or three years to take advantage of a lucrative federal tax exclusion (see Chapter 23), while others flip a house once every month or two for quick profits. Many investors focus on a niche market, such as foreclosure properties, HUD properties, or For Sale By Owner (FSBO) homes.
Plan your flip at least as carefully as you would plan a two-week vacation. Chapters 3 to 5 help you lay the foundation for a successful flip.
