Depending on your goals and comfort level with the current housing market, buying a home that is marketed as a fixer upper will afford you several potentially profitable options You can hold onto your purchase for a while and try to resell it for a higher price in a good resell environment, or you can “flip” the house, which means very quickly after your purchase you sell it again either after first fixing it up yourself or paying others fix it up for you
