Don’t like feel like doing fix-up work? Consider selling the property “as is.”

If you’re able to find an exceptional value, this may be the route for you and it’s especially true if you’re able to locate a hot-topic website or where the owner is in a “must sell” situation.

When I was writing this post, I placed a post on one of favorite forums asking if others had utilized this strategy. One forum member privately contacted me to say “yes.” The only concern was that he did not want me to identify him publicly but here’s what he said.

“The deals to be had are unbelievable compared to other investments such as a standard savings account. The main way I made and still make money is to buy under-valued websites and sell them on other marketplaces. It takes a little more time but in the end I usually make between 30-50 percent profit by simply selling the site almost the same as I purchased it. If I need to, I simply hire a freelance programmer to do minor work which is still cheaper than having a regular staff. In the end, this is a great way to make money.”

When asked what his number one secret was to his success, he stated it was two critical factors. The first being a site which sold way undervalued and equally important was the “sale description” in the marketplace advertisement.

Flipper’s Tip: If you buy a website, it’s advisable not to use the same marketplace that you bought the website to resell the site.

While I wish I could reveal this individual, he is thoroughly convinced that flipping websites “as is” is one of the easiest methods of generating a positive cash flow.
