house flipping

Type: Concept

As of November 2026, house flipping has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Code To Winning (Sep 2025). Eric Chen details flip economics, timelines, and using credit cards for renovation/holding costs, including a West Covina example.

In finance, flipping is purchasing an asset to quickly resell it for profit. Within the real estate industry, the term is used by investors to describe the process of buying, rehabilitating, and selling properties for profit. In 2017, 207,088 houses or condos were flipped in the US, an 11-year high. That number represents 5.9 percent of all single-family properties sold during that year.
