What is Property Flipping in Real Estate

Flipping of real estate is primarily used in the United States. It refers to a practice of purchasing a property below the market value, making the required improvements in it for e.g. repairs etc., and reselling it for a higher price (generally near market value), thus making a profit.

Though it sounds quite easy in real world, it is extremely cumbersome and risky. Flipping is the latest subset of the nothing-down movement. The salesperson makes flipping look as if the person concerned gets something for free. However in reality it is just a misconception.

Some experts believe that the practice of flipping started during the real estate bubble in the U.S. during 2004 -2005. Although the practice of flipping existed long before the real estate bubble, it became more rampant and popular in those years.
