Best way to flip: Sell it before you buy it!

By Jesse Davis

Have you ever heard of this idea?

You can't do it, you say. Well, I have a different opinion. I sold quite a few properties before I even had a contract on the deal.

To be able to do it you have to have a very big buyers list. I have actually done this on a deal just last week. I had a seller pitch the deal to me that he was desperate to sell. I told him I would think about it, as I already had 4 properties picked up the week before that I was trying to sell.

At home that night I pitched the property (with my mark up in it) to my buyers list. It ended up sold the next morning.

I then called the seller back and told him I think I would take it but it would be for lower than what I previously talked about because I already had 4. I made an extra 3 grand by letting him know that. Anyway, I then put it under contract.

You can see now that it can be done. What enabled me to do it was my huge buyers list, to which I could immediately offer the deal.

Boy, don't I love doing that! Talk about no risk... - 16003
