How to get rich flipping property

Flipping property was one of the great money-making trends of the last property boom. If you stood in a queue at any Pret-a-Manger in the City of London in the early 2000s, it wasn’t long before you heard someone bragging about their latest property win. They’d either picked up a flat in Hastings “for a song” and were in the middle of a renovation (a “reno” in today’s language) before selling it on for a significant profit, or were buying an apartment off-plan on a development in Dubai and were planning on flipping before completion.
