Flipping profits are considered active income as you are selling inventory, not investment, properties and you are classified as a dealer.

Deciding whether to build ground up or buy is all about the numbers and inventory levels.

My present infill lot inventory has gotten a lot less traffic lately but my rural larger acreage seems to be hanging in there.  

Assuming foreclosures start happening this year (which is highly unlikely), best case scenario it will be 2022 before that inventory begins to trickle onto the market.Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, which means that foreclosures are processed through the legal system.

i think the ADU ordinance presents a lot of opportunities for current owners and future owners. as will all transactions, careful consideration needs to be made for things like water/sewer upgrades but otherwise, as long as you keep that in mind, i see no reason to analyze current inventory as including an additional, future and now legal unit.

There's so little inventory that when we do bring a flip property to market it gets multiple offers within a couple of days. 3.

Phoenix real estate inventory is really, really low and demand from buyers is extremely high.

Las Vegas Nevada still has super low inventory.
