Is Right Now A Good Time To Start Flipping Houses?

[@Force5_Eye_Dev]

Oh lawd the amount I agree with his sentiment of not liking dealing with people. It’s a broad statement and hard to quantify. But the feeling is there.

[@FaintAura]

Yep, at the top of a hyperbubble is a great time to start flipping.

[@lagatia86]

Please explain further 👍 when will we be close to the top of that bubble?

[@discoveryoutdoorskcfishing236]

We're not on a hyperbubble. We certainly have created a bubble due to biden's inflation but the demand for housing "shortage" and rental property is going to help us get through it fairly smoothly in my opinion. There will be a drop in employment and there will certainly be a minor recession but nothing major especially nothing as bad as 2008.

[@coniccinoc]

@@discoveryoutdoorskcfishing236 I agree. It is likely that people with money to buy now but choose to wait will find their money worth less and the cost of the home worth more due to inflation.

@@discoveryoutdoorskcfishing236 ​ You're so right, we hadn't been doing it right for decades and hundreds of properties later... Wish I would have thought of it... It's not like anything has changed, everything's fine. There aren't global shortages or production delays, pricing of lumber, copper, plumbing, drywall prices haven't increased up to 400%, housing prices and foreclosures aren't up 30% or scarce... everything's just fine and just the same, profits are perfect!

[@RealGalaxyGamers]

If you flip houses you NEED to have the house paid off and you NEED to have LOTS of cash in case something happens. You also need to realize you might end up losing everything you put into the house.

[@AK-47ISTHEWAY]

No, you don't NEED to have the house paid off. I do "live-in" flips, and I do not pay the whole thing off up front if I'm only going to be living in it for a minimum of 2 years. No investor would do that. I will find a little distressed property, put a small down payment on it, and fix it up. Then I wait a minimum of 2 years for it to appreciate in value and gain some equity. I then sell it and roll that money over into a different flip. I do agree you have cash on hand in case something happens, but I am not dropping 300K-400K in a house I'm only going to be living in temporarily.

[@RealGalaxyGamers]

@@AK-47ISTHEWAY It is the correct, least-risky way to flip homes. If you will live in it long-term (like several years), then it’s slightly less-not-okay if you don’t pay it in full. But you also make little money the way you described it.
