How to Flip a House with a low market value

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

House flipping is a process that involves buying a house with a low market value, making repairs to raise the value, and then selling the house to make a profit. Many average people are getting involved in house flipping. If you're interested in getting started in this part of real estate, there are a few tips that can help you learn how to flip a house.

1. Research

Most beginners don't have the slightest bit of knowledge in any area of real estate. It is important that you understand what processes are involved in house flipping, from start to finish. In the beginning, you should use a real estate agent to help you through your first few flips so that you can learn about the steps involved. Additionally, you should stay updated on the conditions of the housing market.

2. Property Selection

Choosing ideal properties to purchase is an important part of house flipping. Learning how to flip a house also involves learning how to choose properties. Most people assume that the falling apart and dilapidated homes are the only candidates for flipping. While these properties are good candidates, almost any home can be flipped. Look for structurally sound homes in decent neighborhoods. Auctions are ideal shopping spots; the homes are valued based on monies owed on mortgage loans and tax defaults.

3. Renovations

Learning how to flip a house also involves gauging the level of renovation that may be needed - and knowing when to call in professionals for estimates. Home inspectors can tell you what needs to be repaired to make a home legal for occupancy. Major renovations on properties that are extremely neglected will generally require some kind of loan to cover the expenses. Minor repairs are less expensive. It's a good idea to choose the first few properties that do not require as much work. Simple landscaping upgrades, exterior refreshing, and interior sprucing up is ideal.

4. Selling

Lastly, once you learn all the previous parts of how to flip a house you reach the selling aspect. The biggest influencing factor of house flipping is the current real estate market conditions. Generally, pricing the property you're flipping involves going by an appraisal of the value of the property. From this point, you figure out how much you originally purchased the property, the cost of renovations, and then you get the approximate profit you'll make. Appraisals aren't set in stone and it's always a good idea to mark up the selling price to anticipate the possibility of negotiations with buyers.

Business Skills For the Future!

For years, Ireland has enjoyed exceptional growth in the property and construction industry , so much so that it counted for 30% of the Irish economy. However, we all realise that this phase in Ireland's history has passed. So what's next?

It will become increasingly clear, that we are entering a totally new chapter. Things are never going to be the same again, and we must adapt to succeed. What we will see happening, is a large amount of home businesses springing up all over the country.

Low overheads, low expenses, low wage bills and the leverage of the internet present the perfect ingredients to create truly successful small businesses. It will be a question of must rather than want, as it is increasingly unlikely that any one industry will any time soon provide what appeared to be such secure and well paid employment.

From now on the motto is going to be - "you gotta row your own boat." Self determination, independence, and the willingness to learn new skills are prerequisites for succeeding.

The four primary aspects of any business are production, research, finance and sales. However, by far the most important skill to master is sales. Sales are the life blood of any business, no sales equals no business.

We strongly recommend becoming a marketing and sales master, using all of the means and media at your disposal. This may include newspaper and magazine ads, billboards, vehicle livery, TV and radio ads, and street signs if using traditional marketing methods.

Alternatively, using online marketing methods will include pay per click campaigns, possibly on Google or yahoo, banner ads on websites other than your own, writing articles on your subject and distributing them online to establish your expert status, writing on blogs and forums relevant to your subject to build a following, submitting video clips and tips to online media including YouTube.com and Google video, and working on the optimisation of your site in order to bring it as high up the Google rankings as possible.

All of the above serve to drive more traffic to your site, typically more traffic i.e., people visiting your website means more sales.

When and wherever possible it is best to combine both online and offline marketing to create a truly well recognised business brand, that most importantly makes sales, and gets paid.

Knowing who exactly your customer is, and how to get to them is essential. For example, Matt Furey author of Combat Conditioning has an exceptional online business selling a variety of strength conditioning and success courses. Matt effectively writes articles for a number of wrestling and martial arts publications that in turn drive traffic to his website, combining traditional offline and online marketing seamlessly and profitably.

To conclude, Ireland is particularly well poised to thrive on the online world business stage, in that we speak the world's most prevalent language, have excellent communication skills, and are imbued with the determination to get the job done.
