Anyone have experience buying an existing site from something like flippa and building it out from the developer side?<p>I heard most of these are scams, but was wondering if there's good methods for finding a site worth spending dev time.<p>Mental model (knowing very little) about the process is like house flippers that take existing run-down houses, renovating and re-selling for a markup.<p>Except I'm fine w/ just building the site for long term.
To extend the house-flipping analogy, your question is like a carpenter asking if anyone has experience buying run-down houses and doing a lot of woodworking in them. That's not likely to lead to much financial success house-flipping...<p>In both cases, the work you _want_ to do (dev work / carpentry) is necessary but not the part that makes you the money: MARKETING
