Fix & Flip during Recession

Posted

Hello everyone, what are some good tips to follow when fixing and flipping during the uncertain times coming up and reduce my risk? Almost every indicator is pointing towards a slowdown / pullback. My biggest fear as a new investor is getting stuck with a house that cannot be sold for a profit and going into large debt. Here are the fundamentals I will be following below. I know people made money flipping even during the 2008-2010 times. Thanks!

- Get better deals. Be more strict with minimum profit margins (30% minimum)

- Be on top of the project. Get rehab completed as fast as possible (while not sacrificing quality of course)

- Make sure the market has a fast DOM and is growing 

- Invest in good areas with low crime

- Have multiple exit strategies. Turn into rental, airbnb, or even live there as a last resort
