Flipping houses is one way to generate either active or passive income, but what makes it less than ideal is that the income earned from house flipping is quite inconsistent. Flipping houses is a high-risk investment strategy with huge potential, but investors should be fully aware of what they are investing in. They should know that sometimes they would need to wait for months or years for a profit from a single flip.
To mitigate risk and ensure a more reliable income stream, think about adding a few (or even just one) rental properties to your rental resume. Clovis rental properties are stable opportunities that have excellent long-term growth that is seldom matched by stocks or other retirement products. The benefits of rental properties last for a long time.
While the popularity of reality television about house flipping has increased, these reality TV shows have created something of an unrealistic perspective on exactly what flipping houses entails. It is technically possible to purchase, remodel, and re-sell a residential property quickly and profitably in Clovis, but that isn’t the usual scenario. Usually, there are setbacks and hindrances and it can be discouraging at times.
As a case in point, homes that are under construction tend to be targeted by thieves and vandals, resulting in costly financial loss. On top of that, bad weather, burst pipes, and other events that weren’t prepared for could result in expensive repairs that were not included in your original budget. Because of this situation, house flippers need to stand ready and informed so they can deal with these unexpected events.
When it comes to flipping houses, a lot of months of work would be involved for even a best-case scenario flip. The time involved in flipping a house can be extensive. First, you’ll need to find the right property, then arrange for financing and closing of the purchase. Then you can start remodeling the property and, when that’s done, list it for sale. Throughout this entire time – however long it may take – the property is not generating any income, since the only profit an investor realizes from a flip comes after the property has sold. Other investors work on multiple houses flips in a single year. They must do this to be able to generate a substantial and steady income stream. But more often, houses are flipped one at a time, making it difficult to anticipate the duration of waiting before that investment will ultimately turn a profit.
Since this is the issue, house flippers will greatly benefit from having more than one revenue stream. There are many opportunities available in the real estate industry, but when stability is what you’re after, the income opportunities offered by residential rental properties are generally better. The process of flipping houses and the process of buying and renovating rental homes are very similar, but there are some undeniable advantages. For example, when acquiring a house to use as a rental, investors can enlist the help of a quality property management company to do the heavy work for them.
When property owners take on a company like Real Property Management Platinum, they are supplied with expert market assessments on all prospective and current rental properties in Clovis, ensuring that investors have accurate information on rental rates, market value, and so on. Real Property Management also provides access to dependable home remodeling and repair experts, making sure that any work performed on the property will be performed well and correctly the first time. The team of experts then markets the home to fill vacancies with desirable tenants in order to present to the investors a consistent rental income. The investors can then spend their time focusing on more important things.
When all the beneficial effects are grouped together, it is plain to see that hiring a property management company is not so much of an added expense as it is a valuable asset on your real estate team.
