  • Not enough Money:  The first expense is the property acquisition cost, While Low money or down financing claims abound, and also finding these deals from a legitimate vendor is so hard.

 

  • Not enough Time: flipping houses is a time consuming business venture, It can take quite a time to find the right property to buy and sell and once you own the house you will need a time to fix it up, so you will need to schedule inspections to make sure the property compiles with applicable building codes. Also you will need to invest time to sell the property and If you show it to a particular buyers yourself  you will spend a lot of time commuting to and from the property and meeting with the right potential buyers.

 

  • Not enough Skills: Professional builders and well skilled professionals often take the process of flipping houses as a part tie job for them, they have the knowledge,skills and experience to find and fix a house, The real money in house flipping comes from sweat equity. If you’re handy with a hammer, enjoy laying carpet, can hang drywall, roof a house and install a kitchen sink, you’ve got the skills to flip a house. On the other hand, if you’ve got to pay a professional to do all of this work, the odds of making a profit on your investment will be dramatically reduced.

 

  • Not enough knowledge: To be successful, you need to be able to pick the right property, in the right location, at the right price. In a neighborhood of various prices of homes, do you really expect to buy at £60,000 and sell at £200,000? The market is far too efficient for that to occur on a frequent basis. Even if you get the deal of a lifetime, you need to know which renovations to make and which to skip.What kind of mistakes that also can make flipping a house flop ?
