Islamabad (; Urdu: اسلام آباد‎, romanized: Islāmābād) is the capital city of Pakistan, and is administered by the Pakistani federal government as part of the Islamabad Capital Territory. It is the ninth-largest city in Pakistan, while the larger Islamabad–Rawalpindi metropolitan area is the country’s fourth-largest with a population of about 3.1 million people. Built as a planned city in the 1960s to replace Karachi as Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad is noted for its high standards of living, safety, and abundant greenery.

The master plan for the city was designed by Greek architect Constantinos Apostolou Doxiadis and divides the city into eight zones, including administrative, diplomatic enclave, residential areas, educational and industrial sectors, commercial areas, as well as rural and green areas which are administered by the Islamabad Metropolitan Corporation with support from the Capital Development Authority. Islamabad is known for the presence of several parks and forests, including the Margalla Hills National Park and the Shakarparian. It is home to several landmarks, with the most notable one being the Faisal Mosque, the largest mosque in South Asia and the fifth-largest in the world. Other landmarks include the Pakistan National Monument and the Democracy Square.

Islamabad is a Gamma+ city as rated by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network. It has the highest cost of living in Pakistan, and its populace is dominated by middle and upper middle class citizens.

The city is home to twenty universities, including Bahria University, Quaid-e-Azam University, PIEAS, COMSATS University and NUST. The city is rated as one of the safest in Pakistan, and has an expansive RFID-enabled surveillance system with almost 2000 active CCTV cameras.

Flipping property in Islamabad

Flipping property is when we advise clients to buy a Islamabad 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 Islamabad market has a time to react to the renovation.

The Flipping Strategy in Islamabad

Investment property flipping in Islamabad 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 Islamabad real estate investments are sometimes referred to by professionals as ‘distressed’ Islamabad real estate.

What is distressed Islamabad property:

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

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

Calculate profit that you make from Islamabad investment property flipping:

Final Selling Price less Cost of Purchase less Costs = Profit

Here is an example:

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