The concept of property flipping is not new; in fact, it has been around for a very long time. The basic premise of flipping involves moving into an ownership position of a piece of property and then selling that piece of property for a profit—all in the shortest amount of time possible. Flipping can be applied to raw land, commercial, or industrial property, but those are more advanced endeavors. Getting Started in Property Flipping eases you into this arena by focusing the discussion on single-family residential property.
