Sometimes, rehabbing and reselling houses can go majorly wrong. The flipping process involves purchasing a property, renovating it and then selling it as quickly as possible to make a profit. If investors run into any issues during this process it can be costly. Here are some common flipping fails to be aware of:

Getting over-extended

Flipping houses takes a significant amount of capital, and this can quickly take a toll on investors. Unexpected costs, miscalculations, and time delays can all eat into the bottom line and end up turning a simple house flip into a nightmare.

Buying the wrong houses

Because flipping is competitive, there may be a lot of investors bidding for the best houses and snatching them up quickly. You want to make sure you’re buying properties that aren’t overpriced or in need of too much work to be profitable.

Not finding flipping deals

Making a lucrative income from flipping is 100% dependent on finding the right properties. Some investors either get impatient or they get overwhelmed by the competition and end up over-bidding on properties. Overpaying is a common mistake when investors are looking during a hot real estate market.
