There has been a lot of talk lately of people trying to convince the public that flipping houses is illegal and extremely dangerous.
You know what I say?
No freaking way!!
Buying a home, rehabbing it and then selling, is as legit as it can get. There will always be risks involved, that's why you continually educate yourself and make sure that you're going about flipping a house the RIGHT way and not doing it with only the knowledge you've gathered from reality TV.
While it's fun to watch reality shows, like "Flip This House". it won't give you the necessary skills or resources needed to flip a house. But there's certainly a huge market for flipping houses.
You're actually doing a disservice if you DON'T flip that house! Some houses are so bad that nobody will want to spend that much time and effort to fix it up, especially if they're looking for a house for their family. The general public is looking for homes that are ready to be moved into NOW. Not only that, but a broken down home makes the neighborhood look awful. I have had people in the neighborhood, after rehabbing an awful looking house, come up to me and thank me for fixing it up, since now it's not an eye sore to the rest of the neighborhood.
People are trying to scare you from achieving your dreams! Flipping houses is hard work, but it's definitely not illegal! If you follow the proper steps and guidelines, you'll be a house flipping machine!
