Wholesaling Houses and Flipping Houses

May 30th, 2009
This is Terry Wygal, from from http://ExtremeWholesaling.com, and today, I will discuss to you the big difference between wholesaling houses and flipping houses and give you enough information as to which of the two you would master.

Many people are into wholesaling houses and flipping houses in the real estate business. However, it is quite contrasting that there are still many people who do not understand the nature of both and how they are different from each other.

What is Wholesaling Houses?

When you try to wholesale houses, what you do is you find a motivated seller and buy the house he is selling at a much lower price than its real value. Motivated sellers are people who intend to sell their house fast and would not spend too much time lobbying for a higher price than the value of the house. These people include those who just had a divorce, experienced death or are people who are just anxious to move to another place.

After having bought a house, you directly find a house buyer who would either flip the house or live in the house. Either way, sell the house for the price that you paid to buy it plus an increase of $10,000 or more depending on how you play it. Just remember that the longer the house stays in your possession the worse it is for you because the more expenses would pile up and the closer you go to a loss.

What is Flipping Houses?

Flipping houses, on the other hand, is quite similar with wholesaling houses but involves a lot of differences. You still buy a house that you intend to sell, but instead of selling it directly, you flip it, thus the term flipping houses. When you say you flip a house or a certain kind of property for that matter, you rehab the house that you bought before you try to open it to the market. In this case, you will be needing some money for the repairs and furnishings that you intend to add. Make sure that when you spend money for the house for rehabilitation, it would add a considerable amount to the price or that it would make the house more saleable.

The same with wholesaling house, house flipping also demands that the whole process of flipping (from the buying to the house rehabbing to the selling of the house) should be done in a controlled duration of time. This means that before the expenses for the house pile up, you should have already sold it.

Wholesaling appeals to people who are in a tight budget and who can not stand the whole process of rehabbing. So long as you don’t run out of prospect house buyers, you will be assured that you will not be in the losing team. Flipping houses, in another sense, is good for people who intend to really make a lot of money out of the house that they bought using the make-over that they do to the house. Just make sure that when you do any of these two, you have the necessary strategies and techniques to help you sell the house in a much higher price because at the end of the day, it is what matters most in wholesaling house and flipping houses.

Flipping Houses Tips

April 17th, 2009


Some people think that house flipping is just an easy 1-2-3 cha-cha-cha dance. Well, for those who have been in the business long enough to have sent two kids to college and longer, they would surely beg to differ. Flipping houses is difficult and no amount of sugar coating can make it much easier than it is, so if you intend to do it, you would be needing all the help that you could get, and know which of these helps work and which ones do not.Tips on flipping houses could range from the most general to the most specific. House flipping tips are very helpful because they usually come from people who really know what is going on in the flipping houses world. Just like any other business ventures, house flipping starts with the most basic understanding, like a core mantra that you keep on chanting and chanting until it becomes very natural for you. For most people out there who intend to make it big in the flipping houses business or for those people who just want to sell a house (may it be theirs or some people close to them), here are some house flipping general tips that you should not forget.

Tip # 1 – Know the trends – which sells which does not:

You do not sell something just because you want to sell it. You should know what people are buying and those should be the only things that you sell. What’s the use of selling something that people do not want? Though your taste can be a good gauge, you should not really on it solely. I f you really want to make a sell, then go for what people are buying.

Tip # 2 – Focus on the which sells list :

Examine the kinds of houses that have recently been sold. Know the specs of these houses – how much, the design, the other perks included. Study what you learn and make sure that the house that you sell should be packaged in the same way the saleable houses were.

Tip # 3 – Checklist if you are about to BINGO on the reasons why houses do not sell:

Go over the list of common reasons why houses do not sell. They might be the very reason why until know you are not selling houses. Then, examine the house that you intend to sell and check all of the things that you think would cause your potential buyers to be discouraged from buying a house. The last thing that you need after all the effort that you put to get potential buyers is for them to back away because of the house that you are selling.

Tip # 4 – Do something with the reasons why your house do not sell:

Fix what you need to fix and change what you need to change. If you are on a tight budget and you do not intend to spend much just to make a sell, then you just concentrate on the most common parts of the house that buyers are very particular of – electrical and plumbing, roof, landscaping, heating and cooling systems, kitchens, bathrooms, unfinished renovations and maybe a bit of repainting if the paint of the house is not anymore as pleasing as it should look like.

The longer you stay in the business and the more houses that you sell or do not sell, the more experience you get and the more techniques you learn. Cliché as it may sound but the best teacher, they say, is experience, so do not get disappointed when you house doesn’t sell the first time. Instead, make use of that experience to improve your house flipping.
