Fix and Flip "Fix-N-Flip" Property

Fix'n'flip or fix and flip is real estate slang for a house bought below market value for a property in challenged condition, fixed up and then resold for profit "fix'n'flip or fix and flip". Often, the fix'n'flip is not in livable condition and the investor purchasing the fix and flip never occupies the house. The fix'n'flip is bought for short-term investment purposes only. The "flip" of fix'n'flip or fix and flip refers to business model of fixing it up and then the flip it back to sale. The fix'n'flip is a rapid change of ownership; there's also a phenomenon of buying a house cheap, just cleaning it out, and "flipping" it. This typically never happens. The fix and flip for people who want to do simple elbow grease into equity such as painting is more of a long term commitment. These fix'n'flip properties are potentially more of a return over a longer period of time such as a two or more years.

Fix'n'flip or houses are often found in a neighborhood that is going through a rapid upward transition or a property that has been seriously neglected from maintenance.

A fix'n'flip house, looked at with the right eye, seethes with potential and history. Many buyers aren't looking for potential or history - they just want a place that they don't have to worry about, that they can move into without items to be fixed, and that will keep them well-sheltered. When they look at a fix'n'flip, they say "what a dump" or "what a broken-down dump." On the other hand, the mangy hideous carpets (in certain areas) often cover beautiful hardwood floors; ugly wallpaper conceals wonderful details; original wooden cabinetry just needs new doors. A little imagination can quickly make a list of the top five projects that will make this house far better. A badly-done fix'n'flip will probably be very difficult to sell; I have walked through houses that filled me with pity - for those who put their hopes and money into the effort, and for the fix and flip, which may never recover.
