Fix and Flip is a real estate strategy where investors buy properties at a low price, renovate them, and sell for a profit. The goal is to increase the property’s value through improvements and capitalize on the higher resale price.
Investors target undervalued properties like foreclosures or fixer-uppers, buying through auctions, owners, or agents.
After purchase, the investor repairs and upgrades the property to increase its value and appeal.
The goal is to sell quickly to minimize holding costs like property taxes, insurance, and utilities.
The property should be in a location with a strong demand for homes. A good neighbourhood with good schools, public transport, or proximity to commercial areas is usually a key factor.
The property should be fixable within a reasonable budget and timeframe. Look for properties with cosmetic issues or those in need of basic repairs rather than properties with major structural problems that could exceed your budget.
The “after-repair value” (ARV) should be based on what similar homes (comparable sales) in the area have sold for recently. This helps ensure there’s room for profit once renovations are completed.

Market shifts can lower property values, affecting selling price and profit.
Delays in renovations can increase carrying costs, reducing profits or causing a loss.
Inexperience can lead to costly mistakes; professionals help reduce risks.
If done correctly, fixing and flipping can yield high profits in a short amount of time.
Fix-and-flip projects give investors the chance to be actively involved in the real estate market and the renovation process.
As long as the investor understands the local real estate market, there’s typically always demand for upgraded homes, especially in growing cities or neighbourhoods.
