    The only way to …
    The only way to flip a house profitably is to find a seller desperate enough to sell you his house at a price far below market value. Market value is what the price of the house considering its condition, whatever that may be. If a house needs $100,000 in work to bring it up to $500,000, then the market value is $400,000. Sellers are not stupid. They will sell it at $400K because many buyers just want it to reno and live in, not flip. Those people will pay the $400K. It will not sell for $300K.

    Remember people, reality television is anything but real. There something called editing in the land of TV. And it is what they don’t show you that you need to see.

    Flipping houses in …
    Flipping houses in today’s market is for suckers, unless you get the house for much less than what the seller is asking. There was a show in Toronto called the Big Flip where two professional renovators renovated and flipped four houses in one year. At the end of the year, they made not one red cent. One house they profited, the next they lost. After a year’s hard labor, and leaving their jobs, they made nothing. Flipping only works in a hot market, in a hot area. Otherwise, stay away.

    OK did everybody hear the KEY sentence?
    “They just paid full price for the home” Well, how do they expect to make any profit paying full price to begin with?
    The DEAL dictates the profit NOT the market.
