The Top Housing Markets For Home Flippers

Home flipping is currently at an 11-year high. Just over 207,000 homes have been flipped this year at an average profit of $68,100 per house. The key to house-flipping is knowing where to be and when. Discovering the next “hot neighborhood” just before it gets hot is the name of the game. Flipping homes has become very attractive to real estate investors all across the country.
