How to find fix and flip properties?

Finding a right property is the key to make profits in fix and flip. Let's see how you can find one.

Arrow

1.  Hire a real estate agent

A real estate agent will have access to the multiple listing service (MLS) from where the agent will provide you a wide range of properties.

2.  Find your target market

Try to find properties with features like public transportation, entertainment areas, shopping, restaurants, low property taxes, and great schools. 

3. Browse local auctions

When a lender forecloses on a home, the home is usually auctioned off. These auctions are public information that you can find online.

4. Look for REO homes

If a home doesn’t sell to a third-party at auction, it becomes a real estate-owned (REO) home. This simply means that the property ownership reverts to the lender. 

5. Other options

Consider driving through ideal neighborhoods and looking for homes that seem abandoned or in need of repair.

... Other options

Use public records to find the homeowner and send a letter explaining your interest in the home. Some homeowners are eager to sell, but they don’t realize their home holds value for investors.
