Foreclosures:
This is the most common method that people think of when they hear someone say that they are going to start flipping real estate. A buyer finds a property that is in the process of being foreclosed on, and pays a bit less than market asking price. These properties are good for real estate flipping, if the numbers work out for you. The best way to make the real estate flip work on a foreclosure is to catch the home before foreclosure is initiated. Offer to buy the home for what is owed on it directly from the homeowner. This allows the homeowner to avoid the financial nightmare of a foreclosure at the same you get a piece of real estate well below market value (in theory).
Investors:
If you are lucky enough to have a wealthy friend, uncle, etc who wishes to get into real estate flipping in NC, there are many methods to make this profitable for you as well. Offer to find and procure the sale of a home for flipping in return for a set percentage of the profit. This method works for both parties, because you are both motivated to make as much profit as possible on the job, otherwise, neither gets paid.
Distressed Properties:
A distressed property situation would be where the homeowner absolutely has to get out of the house immediately. Situations like divorce or a sudden job transfer would lead to a prime target for real estate flipping. Often times these properties can be picked up under market value and you may need minimal upgrades to make the home a profitable real estate flip.
Inheritance:
Many times an older home (perfect for flipping) will be left to 4 or 5 people after the death of someone in the family. Usually, since only one family can live in the home, they recipients decide to sell the property. This is a great way to pick up an older property that is prime for real estate flipping. Often, the ones selling are just looking for a quick check for their cut of the inheritance, and this will make the sales price very appealing for someone trying to flip real estate.
