While we do make an awesome team on home improvement projects, I know realistically we’d need to work with various contractors or companies to get the job done correctly, which means our portion of the profit would be much smaller than I imagine.Īn important step in flipping is knowing what kind of property you should or shouldn’t take on. I often think of flipping as something my husband and I could do on our own. But it’s not a one-person job, so if you make a profit from your flip, it needs to be split between everyone who worked on it.
Many people have noticed that shows like “Flip or Flop” make flipping houses look stressful, but also incredibly lucrative. A recent analysis shows that “12% of flips sold at break-even or at a loss before all expenses.” Yikes. If this happens, you risk not being able to sell the house for what you planned, therefore taking a loss on the house. A mistake some people make when getting into flipping is not budgeting enough to cover all the necessary improvements to the property. I say, “likely” because sometimes flips don’t go as planned. You have the chance to invest some hard work into a lackluster house to make it into a home someone will love, knowing you’ll likely make a big chunk of money off your investment.

I’m here to tell you what I’ve found out about the most popular ways of making money using real estate. You might be saying, “Ooh, me too! I want to be like Joanna Gaines!” And honestly, who doesn’t? But, while there are some great benefits to investing in real estate endeavors like flipping, there are some major risks and downfalls too. After overhauling my entire first home and making it look like something straight off of HGTV, I started to think, I might be able to do this to make money. I love DIY projects and making a space look more modern, and I think I have a knack for taking a “meh” house and making it into a home people want to live in.
