Montpellier (, US: /ˌmnpɛlˈj/, French: [mɔ̃pəlje, -pɛl-] (About this soundlisten); Occitan: Montpelhièr [mumpeˈʎɛ]) is a city in southern France near the Mediterranean Sea. One of the largest urban centres in the region of Occitania, Montpellier is the capital of the department of Hérault. In 2017, 285,121 people lived in the city, while its urban area had a population of 616,296. The inhabitants are called Montpelliérains.

In the Middle Ages, Montpellier was an important city of the Crown of Aragon (and was the birthplace of James I), and then of Majorca, before its sale to France in 1349. Established in 1220, the University of Montpellier is one of the oldest universities in the world and oldest medical school still in operation, with notable alumni such as Petrarch, Nostradamus and François Rabelais. Above the medieval city, the ancient citadel of Montpellier is a stronghold built in the seventeenth century by Louis XIII of France.

Since the 1990s, Montpellier has experienced one of the strongest economic and demographic growth in the country. Its urban area has experienced the highest population growth in France since the year 2000. Numbering 70,000, students comprise nearly one-fourth of its population, one of the highest such proportions in Europe. Its living environment with one of Europe’s largest pedestrian area, along with its rich cultural life and Mediterranean climate, explain the enthusiasm for the city, which is nicknamed the “Gifted”. Montpellier was nominated for “Best Emerging Culture City of the Year 2017” by the think tank LCD. It is ranked as a Sufficiency city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network.

Flipping Investment Property in Montpellier

Flipping property in Montpellier

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

The Flipping Strategy in Montpellier

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

What is distressed Montpellier property:

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

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

Calculate profit that you make from Montpellier investment property flipping:

Final Selling Price less Cost of Purchase less Costs = Profit

Here is an example:

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