Flipping Real Estate
Basics
Flipping real estate does not have to be as difficult as
it is sometimes made out to be. Yet there are some definite
guidelines you want to follow to stay out of trouble. Five
years ago, buying properties and holding them was a piece
of cake. You could throw your money at just about anything
and make money from sheer appreciation, but times
have changed. There is actually more money to be made now,
you just need to drop the conventional mindset and
do things a differently.
Flipping is a great little to no risk strategy for creating
money faster without using any of your own credit, money
or other traditional financing. Since you don't have any
of these limitations you can also do as a many as you want
making Flipping
houses a good cash flow strategy particularly
when you have your system set up and working for you.
There are a couple of different ways you can tie up a property
to flip. First of all, you can do a standard assignment
by writing up a Purchase and Sale Agreement that is assignable,
or you can tie up a property using an Option to Purchase
Agreement, meaning you just want the option to purchase
it.
If you feel you will need more than 60 days to find a buyer
(which is a time frame you can usually agree on with a regular
purchase agreement) then you can use an option agreement.
By definition an option is the right, but not the obligation
to purchase a property. So when you do an option, it works
much like a purchase agreement. They can’t sell the
property to anyone else and you have the right to buy or
assign it during the specified period of time. This would
be similar to a lease option except you are just assigning
the option agreement to another buyer and collecting an
assignment fee that way.
Particularly now, be sure not to get complacent with conventional
methods (which also have a lot more built in risk).
This will put you in the position to have the best options
for profiting from the housing crisis regardless of your
circumstances.
