Flipping
In finance, flipping is purchasing an asset to quickly resell (or "flip") it for profit. Within the real estate industry, the term is used by investors to describe the process of buying, rehabbing, and selling properties for profit. In 2017, 207,088 houses or condos were flipped in the US, an 11-year high. That number represents 5.9 percent of all single-family properties sold during that year Effects Bubbles A spate of flipping often creates an economic bubble which then bursts, such as during the Florida land boom of the 1920s.

This resulted in an inflationary spiral until th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
