home: Flip that house! Make sure you do your homework first! or it will flip you. - 09/29/07 04:49 PM
Definition:
Flipping is a term, used primarily in the United States, which refers to the practice of buying real estate and quickly reselling (flipping) it for profit.
Type of Flips

The hoards of home improvement programs, such as "This Old House" which has been on television since the 1970s, serve as testament to the real estate fad of today.

home: Back to basics! Finding the correct home mortgage for your home purchase. - 09/20/07 05:06 PM

Finding the "best" mortgage means balancing your mortgage options with your financial situation and your housing needs, now and in the future.
Since even the shortest mortgages typically last at least 15 years, you will need to project how your financial situation and your housing needs may … (0 comments)

If you are new to real estate investing and considering buying foreclosure properties, you need to be realistic about what you are facing.  Foreclosure investing is not a good investment approach for beginners. I recommend that you have at least a couple of years' experience with more traditional real estate investing first or work with some professionals. The profits from foreclosure investing can be huge and that makes foreclosures attractive. There is an awful lot to know in order to avoid the problems that can occur. If you don't know what you are doing, one disastrous foreclosure investment can wipe out … (6 comments)
