Flipping Investment Property in Helsinki

Flipping property in Helsinki

Flipping property is when we advise clients to buy a Helsinki property below market value, renovate it and then make a profit by selling it at a higher price, all within a few months, and often before the Helsinki market has a time to react to the renovation.

The Flipping Strategy in Helsinki

Investment property flipping in Helsinki is a simple strategy. You find a property that is in need of renovation from our list and purchase it for a low price. These type of Helsinki real estate investments are sometimes referred to by professionals as ‘distressed’ Helsinki real estate.

What is distressed Helsinki property:

  • Helsinki property in need of renovation
  • Helsinki real estate with a change of purpose and use
  • Oversold Helsinki property
  • Bank repossessions in Helsinki

Put simply, long term investors in Helsinki purchase the property, renovate it and make it a lot more attractive to potential buyers.

Calculate profit that you make from Helsinki investment property flipping:

Final Selling Price less Cost of Purchase less Costs = Profit

Here is an example:

Helsinki property purchase price: $220,000

Renovation costs: $20,000

Other costs: $25,000

Property sale price: $400,000

Profit: $135,000

Experienced property developers in Helsinki use a minimum profit value of 22% when looking at potential Helsinki projects. The reason for this is because there are lots that can go wrong in Helsinki property flipping and working on a potential margin of 22% should still leave a good margin of error.
