    You can do exactly as you want with the house. If you sell it in such a short period of time and the house is not your primary residence then you will have to pay capital gains tax on any profit you make.

    it can always be done…you just have to find the right seller who is motivated enough to sell you that home at a low enough price so that you can make a profit…

    depending on the market conditions it wouldnt really matter which month you decide to sell that house (of course it would be optimal when the weather is good and the house shows well) but the key is to buy in at the right price

    It’s legal. People do it for a living. Check your cable guide so you can watch Flip this House to see what they go through. It’s not all that easy and the people on this show are “Professionals”.

    My parents used to do that to every house we lived in, we
    moved once a year. For many years…and they made alot of
    profit from it. I’m pretty sure, as long as you can pay off that
    bank note…they don’t care, cause they’ll be making more $$
    on the deal too. Just tell the bank, that is what you want to do..
    Flip a house..and make a profit. Banks love that. Good Luck.

    Certainly. People do it all the time. I knew a family that bought a house every year, renovated it and then sold it for twice what they paid for it.

    The hottest Real Estate trend of the last five years is FLIPPING HOUSES for extreme profit! With no experience anyone can make REAL money in the real estate market. There are two ways to do it and we will show you both methods:

    1. BUY IT, FIX IT, SELL IT method; or…

    2. Our exclusive method here described in brief:

    You don’t need to own a property to make money on it – You just need to have control of it!

    You’ve heard the stories! People on late-night info-mercials telling you that they are making money buying houses, fixing them up and selling them for profit. . . Well the truth is that you can make money using those very strategies (and it’s hard work). But, there is a better way to do it. It’s lower risk. . . .And with a smaller amount of effort than the “Buy, Fix, and Sell Method.”

    Of course, What you want to do is work smart and reduce the potential risks while increasing your upside potential.

    You see, the problem with these info-mercial programs is that they ususally require alot of money. How are you going to find the contacts with “private funders” while keeping your “nose to the grindstone”. . . for the employer that allows you to put food on the table?

    Our 282 page guide will show you Flipping Houses, and Assigning Contracts – The low risk, EASIER method to Flipping properties!
