Investors have been flipping property for decades, but not on the widespread scale that they have done over the last 10 years. Flipping property is basically the process of buying property for less than it is worth, to fix it up and sell it for a significant profit. While this process can work with both residential and commercial property, it is more commonly seen with residential real estate. Investors can see up to 75% returns on their money in some cases, if they scope out the right properties in the right geographic locations. It is important to check out the properties thoroughly before purchase, to ensure that too much work isn’t needed. If you spend more in repairs than what you will be able to get out of the property, then it just isn’t worth it.
