Whether or not you'll be good at flipping houses doesn't have anything to do with the market you are flipping in. It's about your skill set to run a house flipping business. In a nutshell the skills needed to be good at flipping houses are as follows

  • The ability to market to distressed sellers.
  • The ability to sell the sellers on closing a deal with you.
  • The ability to accurately estimate repair scope and cost.
  • The ability to manage a construction crew and come in on time as well as within the budget.
  • The ability to accurately estimate the eventual resale vale of the property.
  • The ability to market and sell the property.
