English term

flipping

English to Spanish Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Esta es la definición de flipping. Yo entiendo lo que quiere decir pero no encuentro un término adecuado para darle una traducción.
Flipping occurs when a “flipper” targets a first time home buyer who believes he or she cannot afford a house or has bad credit. The “flipper” earns your trust by using his knowledge and experience with the home buying process to make the deal seem easy. The “flipper” promises to arrange a loan, take care of all the paperwork, and may even let you move right in before the sale. What you do not know is that the “flipper” bought the house cheap, made only cosmetic repairs, and is now selling it to you for a price that far exceeds its value. You now have a mortgage loan for the inflated sales price. The “flipper” walks away from the deal with all the loan money, but you wind up with a house that is not worth what you owe

The egregious method you describe is not the usual use of the term. It is more like Margarita's trans. It is speculative buying with the hope of being able to turn it around and quickly sell at a profit, properties bought at foreclosures, for example.

Hola.
Según el texto, se trata de una estafa.
El "flipper" sería el timador, embaucador, estafador.

flipping = especulación / flipper = especulador

O, "volteador", como se les denomina en España.
