How To Find CHEAP Houses To Flip (STEP-BY-STEP)!
Aug 04, 2025
One of my favorite moments is when a real estate agent flat-out says, “This one’s a fixer-upper.” Perfect—that’s exactly what we’re after. If you know how to find cheap houses to flip, it only takes a minute to pull up a distressed listing and have a motivated seller lead ready to call.
To flip houses successfully, you need two things: a property in rough shape and a seller open to negotiating. Distressed houses might have roof leaks, cracked foundations, outdated interiors from decades ago, or even a tilted floor that sends a marble rolling. These aren’t pretty homes—and that’s the point.
Because they’re in poor condition, these homes often can’t qualify for traditional financing, which scares off retail buyers. But for investors who understand how to find cheap houses to flip, this is where opportunity begins. We’re willing to take on the risk most people won’t—because that’s where the profit lives.
