Now you have read some articles or seen news stories that have some naysayers talking about losing money. Alternatively, on the other side of the spectrum, you have seen or heard those who extol the virtues of a can't lose system.

Take all of what you have heard and read with a grain of salt. Making money flipping houses in real estate comes down to a straightforward and basic formula.

OR

Buy Wrong + Sell Wrong = Lose Money

Granted, buying and selling right or wrong is a journey of many footsteps that does complicate the overall math to profit or loss. Part of flipping real estate is that doing so is a learning process that never stops. Every flip is different.

While we could go on forever about the more complex math, at SpruceRoost, our goal is to help our real estate flipping investors make the right decisions along the way that result in a positive outcome.

The first step in making an excellent flip investment decision is not in the property itself. It is in finding a knowledgeable real estate agent who understands the complexities of the house flipping market. Many would-be investors who claim losses make their first error by thinking, "I don't need an agent." The end result is overpaying and underselling. A good agent can help find a great potential investment property and help negotiate the best purchase price. From the start, those who forgo using a qualified real estate agent knowledgeable in flipping drastically impact their ability to make a profit. Now add all the extras to the flipping equation, and it is easy to create a recipe for disaster. The dream has turned into a nightmare with negative financial consequences.
