  • 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.
