HGTV vs Real House Flips

by Jeff Minter

HGTV makes flipping houses look so easy. The reality, however, is that it's nothing like what they portray. The episodes are scripted, and planned, and that's just not the way it happens in real life.

Now, you're probably thinking, "What's the difference?"

First of all, you need a good amount of time to invest, and you need available capital if you want to be successful in the world of flipping. You have to be able to plan for any unforeseen circumstances becuase reality is, they will happen.

The big question you have to ask yourself is, "Do I truly have the time and the money to overcome these issues and costs?"

The first step you should take is to find a good group of professionals to turn to for advice.

You need to make sure that if you choose to use a realtor, that that agent understands the process from beginning to end. You want them to give you a reasonable evaluation of the property and the potential profit that you could gain; whether you buy to repair, restore, flip or keep the property for long term.
