There are no shortage of lipsticked pig properties out there, and learning to spot them is essential for successful RE investing...we're all susceptible to "shiny object syndrome", but being aware of it is the first step to avoiding it!

It was a cash buy and I got a good deal on a lipstick flip.

This is where you put a little lipstick on the thing, without improving much of anything, and then you stretch the existing tenant profile $100.

A lot of lipstick rehabs going on in this seller's market.

In my standpoint, even a flip needs more than that, even what they call lipstick rehab, what if someone breaks something special, that's more than 15k?

There are no repairs needed except for lipstick.

I got it for 27 cash, put a lipstick rehab on it as it was actually in great shape and refinanced it to pull my money back.

The craftsmanship when it comes to flipping is sub par and these contractors are putting lipstick on pigs.

My realtor brings me all of my houses and gives me a range of their ARV with the typical lipstick reno.

When people say cosmetic updates or "lipstick updates" that basically just means making the existing product look newer.
