One Region Is the Best for House Flippers

Those trying to make a buck as house flippers might want to consider the Northeast. The region dominates a state ranking of where it's most profitable to buy a fixer-upper, renovate, then resell, reports Quartz.

The company calculated an overall score out of 100, with Vermont coming out on top even though Maine had the lowest remodeling costs. The top 10:
