What Is Fix & Flip Investing?
Fix and flip is one of the most well-known real estate investment strategies. It involves purchasing a property—typically one that’s undervalued or in need of repairs—renovating it to increase its value, and then selling it for a profit.
This strategy typically works best for Single Family homes, however it is not limited to just that.
The entire process is usually completed within a short period of time, often 6 months to a year.

How It Works Step-by-Step:
Find a Distressed or Undervalued Property
Investors look for homes priced below market value, often due to neglect, foreclosure, or motivated sellers. A thorough market analysis helps determine potential profitability.
Secure the Property Financing
Many investors use hard money loans (like those offered by The RAF Group) because they are easier to qualify for and fund quickly. Hard money loans can be extremely beneficial for this strategy as they can provide fast, short-term financing and protect you or your business from overleveraging. You can even use these funds to cover construction costs.
Rehab and Renovate
Here is where the money is made! Investors either handle renovations themselves or work with contractors to bring the property up to—or above—market standards. Strategic upgrades, such as modern kitchens, flooring, and curb appeal improvements, are key.
Sell the Property
Once renovations are complete, the property is listed for sale. A good flip will result in a sale price that more than covers the purchase, renovation, and holding costs—plus profit.
Pros of Fix & Flip:
Potential for high returns in a short time.
Adds value to the community by improving properties.
Teaches valuable hands-on skills about real estate, construction, and local markets.
Things to Keep in Mind:
Budgeting errors, unexpected repairs, or market changes can eat into profits.
Requires strong project management and access to reliable contractors.
Holding costs (like loan interest, property taxes, utilities) can add up quickly.
Is This Strategy Right for You?
Fix and flip is ideal for those who like fast-paced projects, enjoy transforming spaces, and are willing to get hands-on or manage a team. You don’t need to be a construction expert, but you do need a solid game plan and access to funding.
