True that.Can't make much money on bike flipping in my opinion, but they are fun and easy to work on. I'd say there is better money in providing mechanic services if you have the space. Might have to get a business license though.
The easy money is to go from non-running to running. Often this is just a carb cleaning. If you have to buy any cosmetic parts, your profit drops and very quickly goes negative, my advice is to buy only complete and cosmetically acceptable bikes if you want to flip them.
If you want to make money fixing and flipping vehicles, I'd suggest forgetting bikes and looking into vintage Airstream trailers.
The youngsters all seem to want one or the other, a cafe racer or a bobber. I'm thinking that in a few years we are going to see a LOT of these "custom" bikes going for cheap prices, while any still left in stock condition are going to see noticeable appreciation.I've heard of a guy or 2 doing okay buying neglected, or slightly wrecked stuff on the cheap,
then cafe or bobbing them out for a good profit.
