We hear a lot about "flipping houses" these days, and there are all kinds of shows on television about it, but can it be as easy as it looks? Flipping a house is when a real-estate investor (the buyer) buys a home that is in foreclosure (really cheap or usually at an auction), fixes it up, and resells the house at a great profit! There is a ton of money to be made in house flipping, but beware. You need to put the effort into educating yourself before you begin because a few common mistakes can cost you big time!

We started out with very little. We had low paying jobs and one old used car, and rental house that had seen its better days. We were young, in love, and all that mattered to us was being together. We spent summer afternoons at the lake. Our idea of a great Sunday was taking a long car ride. Life continued and we found better-paying jobs. Then we discovered credit. We soon had a nicer house, a couple of nice cars and two pretty cool kids. And we were struggling. We wanted to look successful, but we were barely paying the bills.
