Would It Be A Good Idea To Flip A Condo?

Or is it exactly the same as flipping a house? as long as you can buy low-sell low? I have a FSBO condo im looking at and this would be my first deal so was wondering if i should go for it!

    Sure... If the numbers are right for you
    do it

    I would prefer to buy low and sell at FMV. Like Dave suggested, if the numbers do work you, then you should go for it.

    Ok i can pick up the condo for cheap--say 215K while the value is around 250K. I can say i need 90 days to close the deal? or less?
    And then immediately put it up for sale...my question is what happens if i dont sell it in the time i specified??

    Should i ONLY buy it if i have an investor ready?

    One question crunch the numbers? Cashflow analysis is important in flipping.
    If there's a profit then go for it.

    A few questions:

    I will need to find a tenant/buyer for this in the meantime? during the 90 days that i have to close.

    What if the seller needs his money at closing and if he gives me the 90 days...where do i get the cash?

    Do i find an investor interested before i get inlvolved? Investors wont go for FMV pricing though as far as i can tell.

    Correct me if im wrong and thanks in advance!
