If your flipping a house how long should it be until you sell it? 

[JD Martin]

Ideally or realistically? I know people in no-permit areas that can close on a house on the 1st and have it on the market on the 31st depending on what it needs. But they have crews, systems, and money. A small time operator, DIY guy, with a W2, if you had it back on the market within 90 days I would say you would be doing pretty well. 

If I were DIYing flips, I would look to close on something between Dec-Feb, so that it could be on the market April-May. That's in my area.
