  • Flipping this Acura in just one weekend - here's how I make them ready for sale.
    1. Learn the market
    2. When you KNOW a car is a good deal...make an offer!
    3. Overhaul (important for good pictures & an easy sale)
    4. Sell for top market dollar!

    This really works - as long as you are comfortable with the market of people buying cars in this range.
    Another alternative option is always selling the car to Carmax, but they are not buying it at the level of private sale, but regardless worth of trying.
    BTW - this side gig would really work well if you could flip at least one car per week, every week through-out the year... That puts you at over 110k in profit ($2,000 x 56 weeks...) - now that is well worth it...

      that’s not possible there’s a limit on how many cars you can sell, usually 4-5 depending on your state

    Even if you doing this as a side hustle, are any types of permits, certifications or etc. required to sell or even buy the vehicle that's being flipped?

      Not for us in SC. But they do limit you to 4 car sales per year without a dealer license.

      Nope no dealers license. I just sign it over, go straight to DMV and typically pay for the instant title. Then sign the title over to the new owner. I believe you can do up to 5/yr with no license.
