How to Find Houses to Fix Up & Flip
Research the Area Well
When you’re looking for a new house, it’s important not only to find the right house but also one that fits your budget and criteria. There are many things we recommend considering during this step in order to get an idea of the type of houses you should look for. Geographic location, economic opportunities, weather, and transportation are some factors that should be considered during your research. There are many online resources that can assist you during your search. Use New Silver Lending’s state-by-state guide to house flipping to learn more about the housing markets of each state. Your research will allow you to narrow down your options for houses to buy and flip.
Search Online, But Also Make In-Person Real Estate Connections

Identify Red Flags During Your Search
The perfect house is not always easy to find. However, there are a few things that you should stay away from when looking for your next home purchase: houses with minor issues and those which will prove too expensive or difficult to fix once purchased. You can set aside money specifically for repairs but some problems just aren’t worth the hassle. Listed below are red flags you need to stay clear of:
- Too Small of Kitchen/Bathroom Space
- Plumbing Issues
- Electrical Complications
- Water Damage
- Cracks in Foundation
- Pest Infestations
- And More
