james d lowenstern: "Flipping Without Flopping" - 10/19/12 02:27 AM

I wrote an article for The Realty Times about important steps to take before considering flipping a house.  It is not as easy as you may think it is to generate profit from house flipping, but after reading this article you may get a sense of how possible your goal is.  I go into further detail on these points:
 
- Hiring a pro
- Planning ahead
- Types of properties
- Neighborhood
- Financing
- Labor
- Resale
