Popularized by shows on HGTV, "flipping a home" simply means purchasing a distressed property in need of some TLC, performing home repairs to bring its value up, and then selling it for a profit. While flipping homes can be financially lucrative when done correctly, there are also a lot of things that can go wrong.

First-time home-flippers might choose the wrong property to invest in, underestimate the cost of home repairs, and actually end up losing the money they were trying to make. By working with a team of experts who've developed a keen eye for finding distressed homes and returning them to their former glory, you're setting yourself up for success in the world of home-flipping.

Many times, home-flippers will look to foreclosed and short-sale homes to find the best deals. This is a smart tactic, but it's crucial to make sure you see the home in person before making the decision to invest. In addition, you need to take a careful look at the home's foundation, roof, plumbing, and electrical work. This is the part of the home that quickly becomes expensive, which is why it's so important to work with an investment professional who knows exactly what they're doing.

At PMI Realty NC, we know exactly what to look for in a foreclosed or short-sale home, and how to get investors the most bang for their buck.
