My husband and I have had a passion for renovating homes for a long time now. We are currently living in our second home, and remodeling it as we go! While we would love to keep on selling and buying homes for us, we decided it was time to give it a shot at flipping a home. We teamed together with a pair of friends and found a beautiful {well the potential was beautiful!} home in central Phoenix and got to work! It was a complete remodel, and we love it.

This is a difficult concept to grasp, especially in markets where housing values have crashed 30 percent or more. Keep in mind the declines are driven by extreme economic circumstances that will not remain the place forever; they do not invalidate the concept of long-term appreciation.
