The Quick Flip - How To Flip Houses In Today's Market

By Derek Pierce

Can you still make money flipping homes in the current market conditions? To some, it seems nothing more than an illusion. But for others, flipping is big business and the economy is actually helping get more deals.

Real Estate flipping has become wildly popular due to many of the house flip television shows. However, most of these shows display someone renovating a home, but in reality there are many other techniques to make money flipping even in today's troubled market. Here are three steps to flipping homes for profit.

1. Finding the leads.

Be sure constantly market your business to get more deals in your funnel. This is where most investors drop the ball when it comes to starting a successfull flipping business.

Stay on the lookout for motivated sellers and potential properties. Take this first step and start marketing your business in an attempt to find and attract motivated seller leads.

2. Converting the leads.

After you've began marketing your business, you'll see leads began to come to you! And now, you'll need to pre-qualify these leads to make sure it's worth your time to pursue. Make sure the seller has motivation - in other words a real reason to sell, not just because they want to.

3. Master the exit strategy.

Finally, you're ready to sell the deal to turn a profit. Although this is the final step, you should have a plan before ever making the offer to your seller.

Here are some options to consider as your exit strategy:

a. You can sell it fast to another investor that will fix it up then resell to a homeowner.

b. Do you plan to flip the deal to a landlord/ investor that buys property for the long term?

c. Do you have any established relationship with any other investors that would be interested in the deal?

Your success largely depends on how quick you move the property. Therefore, work to build solid relationships with real estate buyers in your area because these will be reoccurring buyers of your properties.

Now, remember, you've got to negotiate a good enough deal so that you can leave some money on the table for your buyer. Investors have different criteria, so it's best to find out what they're looking for in advance when attempting to flip a property. Master these three areas to every property you want to flip and watch your income soar.
