Before you jump in and purchase your foreclosure you need run the numbers and make sure that you are going to have a profit at the end of you flip. After you get your inspection and find out the problems that are going to have to be addressed with the foreclosed property, then you are going to need to sit down and figure out just how much you are going to pay for materials, labor, and carrying cost.
