How much money does it take to flip houses?

Answer by  Ann89 (613)

You need to buy property which requires little work as this can erode your profit. Ultimately you should aim to buy a property where you are positively geared where the tenant meets your monthly repayments. Normally you will need a deposit of at least 20% of the purchase price.

In this market, you can flip a home for as low as $50,000. Since the market is so bad, I would not invest right now. Wait it out another year.

It takes a good bit of cash on hand. How much depends on the property and what needs to be done by hired tradespeople.
