 Post subject: Flip That House Vs. Flip This HousePosted: Sat Dec 01, 2007 8:54 pm 
Flip That House wins 'cause Flip This House has some obviously scripted moments unlike the other. Flip That House is the one on TLC and Flip This House is on A&E. |

There are two such similarly titled shows? I'm totally going to start "Gray's Anatomy" now. Or maybe I'll have "His Name Is Earl" ... _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

I'm a bigger fan of This. It's an hour long, as opposed to the half hour of That, and it goes more into the business side of things which is more interesting. _________________ EvilSpace |

i like the word "this" better than the word "that" So I voted for this. I honestlyhave no idea what this thread is about. _________________ But I cannot discover any advantage except in honor, in glory, and in right action.

Flipping houses is so 3 years ago. Most everyone in it since then is in debt up to their ears, and had all their equity wiped out. |

If you have the money and are willing to wait a year or two for some ROI, now isn't a bad time to buy a house for flipping. _________________ EvilSpace |

If you have the money and are willing to wait a year or two for some ROI, now isn't a bad time to buy a house for flipping. I think the bottom will be in a year or two, though certainly some areas of the country are doing better than others. And surely some money is out there to be made, buying foreclosures for maybe 70% of their "worth" and fixing them up. But problem is that many areas already have a glut of houses on the market (mostly speculators/flippers from a year or two ago, trying to get their money out of the house before they go bankrupt). With too much supply of houses in many areas of the country, prices should go down before they go up. |

We (my mom and I) have always just sort of stuck to flipping the houses we live in, so we've never hit TOO much financial trouble in market slumps. |

I've known some people who have done that. The ones who have 10 going at 1 time are the ones getting hurt. But that would make a lot of sense to buy it, live in it while your fixing it up, sell it, and move onto the next one. Pretty hard to get hurt doing that (as you have to live somewhere anyway). Or buy a duplex and rent out the 1 unit while living in/fixing up the other unit. |

We could make a profit by just living in the same size house all the time, but we choose to improve our standard of living instead by moving to nicer areas. If a house isn't live-inable, you can rent a trailer even. Typically you'll be able to move in really quickly if you just get started. |
