Real Estate Trading or Flipping
Holding a property for a short term in order to sell it later for a profit. Many flippers focus on purchasing undervalued homes or homes which are in need of repair. There are many risks with this type of real estate investing because though property values have historically gone up since 1940 there are periods in which homes can loose there value. Also when dealing with fixer-uppers you must carefully assess cost of repair and the amount of increased value in doing the repair. Most realtors recommend spending the most money in the kitchen because a strongly layed out kitchen can cause potential buyers to fall in love with a property.
