Flipping properties for fun - and for a living!

**ThePropertyFlipper** · 10-31-2008, 08:15 PM

Hello,

My name is Justin, and I am a full time real estate investor, and also a licensed Realtor. My main source of income is through my real estate investments. I own rental properties, and I also "flip" houses that I buy and sell. I have been involved in just over 100 flips. I focus a lot of my energy on mid to lower income neighborhoods.

Things have been going well, and I enjoy the business. I am always looking to learn more. Thanks to everyone on this site that has posted such great information.

Flipping is so fun and easy...and with all the deals today, it's really paying...

I agree with Justin's strategy to both have rentals AND focus on the mid to low income neighborhoods. It seems the faster flips and the potential to just turn a flipped home into a rental is better in these neighborhoods. Anyone sitting on the fence is missing the opportunity to build a huge portfolio of rental property because of all the juicy deals available.

Matching buyers to sellers?
Do you want to flip properties or contracts?

What is the main source of the deals you're flipping right now? Primarily foreclosures and short sales? Wholesale deals used to be easy money in Minneapolis however it seems like all the investors have disappeared.

I would like to flip properties since they seem to be the easiest I have read a little about it in a book, but I am looking forward to now investing all my free time into this hobby. Where are the best places to look for buyers? If anyone would like to give me any tips or information feel free to email or pm me

It's a point of view.
I really think flipping the contract is easier. And once you have enough money from there, flip properties as well...
While you earn less by flipping the contract, it's more secure down the road...
