[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ The Forum Board ] [ FAQ ] Re: condo flip Posted by JK (the other JK) on April 11, 2009 at 12:05 AM In Reply to: condo flip posted by gc on April 11, 2009 at 11:22 AM : Is there a down side to flipping condos? I think I heard Bruce Norris say that it is not a good idea since lots of buyers will purchase using FHA, and FHA requires seller to be owner for at least 6 months. Is this correct, or am I missing something? I thought it was 90 days. The biggest downside is that condos can go down in value faster than houses. Therefore you need to get a bigger discount on your buy. Other potential pitfalls to be prepared for are unknown assessments, HOA bankruptcies and low owner occupied #s (less than 50% owner occupied will kick out FHA financing).
