Look at Facebook Marketplace , Craigslist , or public auctions . The goal is to find a motivated seller or a car with minor cosmetic issues you can fix easily.
Use tools like Kelly Blue Book (KBB) or Edmunds to find "bread and butter" cars—reliable models like Honda Civics or Toyota Camrys that sell quickly.
You can start with one car and reinvest profits to grow your inventory. Flexibility: You choose which cars to buy and when to work. The Cons:
A well-timed purchase and a bit of "elbow grease" can yield high percentage returns.
You need significant cash upfront to purchase inventory.
Experienced flippers typically aim for a profit of $1,500 to $3,000 per vehicle.
