flipping houses

Buy, fix, sell

Flipping houses is buying residential property, renovating it quickly, and reselling it for profit.

The practice depends on finding undervalued homes, improving them efficiently, and timing the market well.

The strategy carries significant financial risk when markets decline or renovation costs exceed estimates.
