How to Flip for Fun(?) and Profit
Due to some unexpected down time recently I had a chance to view several episodes of Flip This House. Since a few people I know have done this sort of thing it made the topic that much more interesting to me. Late last month RealEstateJounal.com reported that there seems to be an ideal time frame in which to flip a house if you're doing it to maximize profit. I'd always thought that buying a house, fixing it up and then selling it for a nice return would be a leisurely, creative project. After watching a few episodes of the TV show and then reading that particular article I'm seeing that maybe the whole practice has a lot more frenzied pace than I'd imagined.
