Unlike Home Flipping, N-Hance Wood Refinishing Franchise is a Business You Can Grow Year Round
Home flipping is not a sure thing: it’s capital intensive, and for many, it’s one project at a time. When youโre in a business thatโs only making money when a home sells, itโs easy to become cash strapped pretty quickly.
While home flippers get into the business because it can be a creative, exciting and fun way to earn a generous living, the challenges become apparent almost immediately, as homes cost a lot to maintain, let alone fix up to the point of making a substantial profit. Of course, thereโs unexpected repairs, as well as fixed costs such as mortgage, electric & water payments, as well as HOA fees, all of which make owning a property with the goal of fixing it up an expensive risk.
According to CBS NEWS, these challenges are far more common than any in the home flipping space may even realize:
โToday, a would-be house flipper could buy the $300,000…assuming she has excellent credit, CBS NEWS reports. โAfter five years, the lucky debtor will have paid $45,000 in interest payments alone, andโunder the 30% ruleโabout $20,000 in taxes and other costs. If she sells the house for $400,000, after accounting for the agents’ fees and interest, taxes and maintenance she’s paid out along the way, she would have made a profit of $22,000.โ
Considering that this is meant to be a revenue stream, $22,000 is the equivalent of getting a full-time job at minimum wage in many states.
Being tied to the ebbs and flows of the housing market presents an uncertain future and uncertain income
In a new article published by Housing Wire, entitled, โHouse Flipping is Back – Itโs Just Not as Profitable as it Used to Be,โ speaks to the crux of why home flipping is such a risk. While home flipping is on the rise, Housing Wire reports that โit appears flippers are making less โ way less โ than they used to.โ
This has to do with the fact that flipping houses is dependent on the housing market. While the economy is good now, the abundance of housing stock and new construction is driving down prices – and profits – for home flippers.
โWith interest rates dropping and home price increases starting to ease, investors may be getting out while the getting is good, before the market softens further,โ said Todd Teta, ATTOMโs chief product officer, in the article. โWhile the home flipping rate is increasing, gross profits and ROI are starting to weaken and the number of investors that are flipping is down 11% from last year. Therefore, if investors are seeing profit margins drop, they may be acting now and selling before the price increases drop even more.โ
