Flip-it One More Time!

Do you want to flip a house? Sure, I would too. Here’s a simple profit chart to help you calculate your potential flip. Basically this chart will give you an idea if the house you had your eye on, is even worth a flip. Keep in mind that you have to do your due diligence and do allot of homework on the subject property that you want to flip.

Example: Buy at $250,000 and sell at $400,000.
