Property flipping is a specialised investment strategy that involves buying properties below market value—often referred to as “fixer-uppers”—renovating them quickly, and selling them at a higher price within a short period. For industry professionals, it is a way to generate fast profits and achieve significant investment growth, though it also carries risks.
If there are hidden issues (structural or legal), miscalculations, or unforeseen problems during renovation, profits can be significantly reduced. Additionally, the state of the property market directly affects outcomes: when the market is booming, profits increase; but in a stagnant or declining market, this type of operation can result in losses.
