The Secret to Successful Investing – Fix and Flip Loans

Have you ever wondered how real estate investors make a lot of money? Many of them do it with .

Flipping houses isn’t new. People have been doing it for decades. What is new is using loans to do it. People figured out they don’t need to have the cash to flip homes. Instead, they can borrow the money and sell the renovated home at a higher amount to pay it back and then pocket the rest.

Making Fix and Flip Loans Work

When you use these types of loans for investing in real estate, you are basically using borrowed money to produce a profit. After going through the loan process, you will take the amount you were able to become approved for and buy a home.

It’s important to research how much work the house needs, the housing market in the area, and the comps in the neighborhood. This way you will know how much you could potentially sell the house for after it’s been fixed.

For example, if you have a loan of $100,000 and purchase a home for $80,000. You could put about $20,000 worth of repairs in it. If you are able to sell it for $150,000 afterwards, you would make $50,000 profit.

Some people will take that $50,000 and roll it into another investment. They may borrow just $50,000 the second time, purchase a similar home for $80,000, put $20,000 worth of repairs into it, and then sell it for $150,000. In total, that would turn a profit of $100,000.

The investor could then either just use the profit to generate more profit or combine it with another loan to buy a more expensive house to hopefully turn a higher profit. This is how people make a lot of money.

All you have to do is sell one home with a profit of $50,000 a year to have that as your annual income. If you sold two homes with a $50,000 profit, you would have a $100,000 profit. Pretty nice way to make a hundred grand in a year, right?
