Foreclosure Flip



That's 5171 Mahogany Ridge Drive in Naples, FL.

Built in 2006, never lived in, 3,845 square feet on a rare 2.5 acre lot.

A month ago, it sold as a foreclosure for $350,000.

My real estate agent buddy down there tells me the buyer just flipped in for about $550,000. Nice scalp, huh?

Apparently the flipper hangs out at the courthouse day and night waiting for opportunities like this to fall through the cracks.

It's a dangerous game - buying a foreclosure - but there's certainly profit potential in it for those flush, intrepid souls who know what they're doing.

Slow out.
