Getting Started With House Flipping

Flipping real estate isn’t about luck — it’s about understanding the numbers, evaluating risk, and knowing how to spot value where others don’t. Before you jump into your first flip, here are a few foundational concepts to master:

1. Learn How to Analyze a Deal

The key to a profitable flip lies in the ARV (After Repair Value) and accurate renovation estimates. If the numbers don’t work on paper, they won’t work in reality.

2. Build a Reliable Contractor Network

Contractors can make or break your timeline and budget. Start meeting tradespeople before you buy your first property.

3. Understand Market Timing

Real estate markets move in cycles. Your strategy should adapt to interest rates, inflation, and local buyer demand.

4. Start With a Simple Flip

Cosmetic flips — paint, flooring, fixtures — reduce complexity and lower risk for beginners.
