If you want to gain capital in a short time, the best strategy is “Flipping Houses”. In this strategy, you buy a property in Spain below the market price and then sell it at a higher price. The difference between the buying and selling price is your capital gain.

There are two different ways to achieve capital appreciation with the Flipping Houses strategy:

• Buy and Sell (“Flip”): Here you buy a house in Spain below the market price and sell it again after some time. Example: If you buy an apartment in a building that doesn’t have an elevator, but the homeowners’ association plans to install one in the near future, the value of the property will increase once the building has an elevator. So you could then sell the apartment at a higher price. This strategy is largely used in markets where real estate prices are rising in a short period of time. Nevertheless, this is also a strategy based on speculation, as no one can predict how prices will develop in the future.
• Fix and Flip: In this strategy, you purchase an apartment in need of renovation at a low price, renovate it, and sell it at a higher price, generating capital gains in a short period of time. Although this strategy is very interesting, you should always calculate how much your total investment is and how much you could sell the apartment after renovation. Therefore, it is important to protect the exact cost to check how much you should invest at maximum to avoid losses.
