Dc Fawcett’s review on Flipping
What is flipping?
Flipping is a process of reselling homes with a profit target in mind. Flippers often buy Foreclosure homes for low rates in an auction and then end up reselling them at higher prices.
While just about any X or Y can buy and sell a property, there are risks associated with it as Dc Fawcett says. Flippers fix defects and some may even make changes in the basic organization of the home to better their chances of reselling it. But sometimes these defects involve huge amounts of money and take a very long time to mend complaints. Some defects may not be repairable. In this case the flipper faces a loss. So Dc Fawcett analyses that profit making in flipping is not ensured.
Ripe flipping areas in 2010 according to Dc Fawcett
Although the value of real estate has decreased rapidly in many metropolitan areas in the first quarter of 2010, there are 3 cities which are still very lucrative for flippers. The 3 cities are San Diego, San Fransisco and Los Angeles. San Diego offers a savings of upto 46% on foreclosure. Flippers should be wary of San Diego’s high unemployment rates and new single family homes which can lower prices sharply. In San Fransisco, foreclosure savings are around 29%. Like San Diego, San Fransisco also witnesses many new single family homes and unemployment rates which the flippers have to be careful about. Los Angeles is exhibiting a foreclosure rate of about 0.38%. High unemployment rates and new single family homes are factors to look out for in Los Angeles as well.
Dc Fawcett Cautions
Dc Fawcett analyses that flippers must face heavy competition from investors who are looking for rental properties and also from owners who are ready to buy inexpensive foreclosure homes just to win auctions or to save money.
