house flipper
Buy-fix-sell investor
A house flipper is someone who buys properties, renovates them quickly, and resells them for profit.
The term emphasizes speed—flipping suggests a rapid turnover rather than long-term investment: House flippers descended on the neighborhood after the market crashed.
The practice can revitalize neglected properties or, critics argue, drive up housing costs.
