There is no such thing as a bad or good time to flip or sell properties - J S.:
For those people who think now is a bad time to be flipping and/or selling, you shouldn't be speaking so broadly ... it may be true in your market, but it's not true in every market. In fact, it's probably not true in your market either, if you know what you're doing.
I'm having no trouble flipping houses in this market. I'm averaging 1-2 per month, my typical DOM is under 30 days, my average profit is about $27K, and there is no shortage of buyers for my properties.
The key is doing your research. In my area, houses that meet very specific criteria (and also meet the criteria of the available buyers) sell very quickly. If you're buying based on that criteria, you should have no problem selling.
Just because everyone is saying that now is a horrible time to be flipping, don't assume it's true.
Note: DOM means Days on Market.
