House Flipping

The Ultimate Step by Step Guide To Flipping House

House flipping can be an incredible way to grow wealth fast – but there are dangers.

Educate yourself and learn how to flip houses for fun and profit in this exhaustive guide.


The internet is full of “puzzle pieces” about flipping houses.

  • ARV
  • Staging
  • Hard Money
  • Contractors

These are all pieces to the house flipping puzzle – and very important pieces at that. However, if you are new to house flipping, these little nuggets of information can look just like those 1000 little puzzle pieces on the table. It can be overwhelming.

1.) Commit to the Flip

The first step in any real estate adventure is to commit. So many people want to get into house flipping or landlording and get really excited, but they don’t actually commit to going the distance. House flipping is not a hobby – it’s a business that can affect your financial future (either positively or negatively) so don’t go into this thing “willy nilly.”  (Yes, I just said “willy nilly.” ) 

Decide you are going to do this and you are 100% committed to learning everything you need to learn to get there. Then, and only then, should you move on to step two.

2.) Educate Yourself on Flipping Houses

Step two is to get educated.

Although education is a lifelong pursuit, it’s also necessary to do before jumping into a house flip. I’m not advocating that you go and pay $50,000 for some kind of guru training camp – but I am suggesting you take your education seriously and buckle down to learn the basics.

3.) Educate Yourself on the Flipping Math

I decided to separate out the basic education from the math education because both are so important!

Without the right math going into a flip, you’ll never get the right money coming out of it. Understanding the math is the #1 most important trait in a successful flip, because the math determines how much you should pay, how much you should put into it, and how much you expect to get out.

To help with this, I want to encourage you to check out the Bigger Pockets House Flipping Calculator.

4.) Market Research

Next, you are going to want to take a look at the market and decide where the best place to flip will be. In some areas, $200,000 for a home would be absurdly cheap, where in other areas this $200,000 would be absurdly expensive. Every market is different, so you need to have a good handle on the market you plan to flip in. Ask yourself these questions:

  • How much are average homes selling for?
  • How much are bank REOs selling for?
  • How fast are properties selling?
  • What areas seem to be selling the fastest?
  • What property types/size/layouts seem to be selling the fastest?

5.) Arrange Your Flip Financing

At this point, I know you are excited to get started, but let’s not put the cart before the horse. You first need to ask yourself a very basic question :

All Cash –

Conventional Financing –

Home Equity Loans/Lines –

Hard Money Lenders

Partners/Private Money –

6.) Find a Real Estate Agent

At this point, you understand what makes a good deal a good deal, have the financing lined up, and you are ready to rock. However, you don’t need to do it all yourself – there is one member of your team you definitely need to find: a Real Estate Agent.  Why? BECAUSE THEY ARE FREE.

7.) Define Your Prospective Deal

Before you start randomly looking at properties, you first need to funnel all the possible choices down to some specifics. This is when the Education and Market Research come in handy. You want to flip houses that people want to buy – so what kind of homes are they buying, and where? Let your Agent know this stuff, get a list of all the possibilities, and have them set you up with some Automatic Emails when properties that fit your requirements come on the market.  Specifically, define for yourself the following information:

  • What location will you flip in?
  • What is the most you’ll pay?
  • What is the least you’ll pay?
  • What is the minimum/maximum number of bedrooms?

8.) Start Analyzing Potential Deals

This is a really important step in the process, so don’t skip it. It’s time to take everything you’ve learned and start doing some deal analysis on real-live properties!

9.) Find the Perfect House for Flipping

After walking through and analyzing dozens of properties, talking with your agent about what you want, and getting everything prepared… you are eventually going to find the perfect potential rental house. You may find one right away, or it may take you months to find the perfect property. Don’t worry so much about the time it takes – focus on finding the best deal possible. You don’t want your anxiousness getting in the way of your financial future, so be patient and stick to the criteria you created.

10.) Make an Offer

You’ve found the perfect property you want to pursue, and now it’s time to make an offer.  Typically, in real estate negotiations, the potential buyer will present the seller with a proposal that will include:

  1. How much the buyer wants to pay
  2. What financing the buyer will use
  3. When the deal will close
  4. Who is going to pay what closing costs
  5. Important “contingencies” that the deal hinges on, like having an inspection done.
  6. and a lot more.
