Real estate trading represents the dynamic side of real estate investment, akin to the fast-paced nature of day trading compared to the more patient strategies of buy-and-hold investors or buy-and-rent landlords. Real estate traders operate distinctly, seeking to buy properties with the intention of holding them for a brief period, typically no more than three to four months, with the goal of selling them for a profit. This practice, commonly known as property flipping, involves acquiring properties that are either significantly undervalued or situated in a highly competitive market.

The essence of real estate trading lies in its shorter investment horizon, minimizing the duration during which capital and effort are tied up in a property. Depending on market conditions, substantial returns can be achieved within this condensed timeframe.

As property flippers, our strategy often involves refraining from substantial investments in house improvements. The selected properties must possess intrinsic value, capable of yielding a profit without significant alterations. This approach characterizes real estate trading as a short-term cash investment, necessitating ready cash, as traditional financing methods may not align with the transaction's quick turnaround.

A secondary category of property flippers engages in adding value by renovating reasonably priced properties. Although this approach may extend the investment timeline, contingent on the scope of improvements, it tends to be time-intensive, limiting investors to one or two properties at a time. Consequently, we prioritize properties with high undervalue over those with potentially burdensome maintenance costs.
