What are some good right handed acoustic guitars that are cheap and easy to flip for left handed playing?
Preferably where the nut and bridge dont need to be flipped. Thanks
Do not do it under any circumstances. Acoustic guitars are braced asymmetrically since the bass strings exert more tension than the treble strings. Reverse the strings and the guitar will warp and be ruined sooner or later. If you don't reverse the nut and the saddle the intonation will be terrible. Even if you do flip the saddle the intonation will still be off since the saddle is never exactly perpendicular to the strings and the extra B string compensation will be in the wrong direction.
If you don't already know how to play, learn to play right handed. Many lefties do that and it's a smart thing to do. Each hand has an important task to do and if anything fretting is more important. You would be fretting with your dominant hand, a distinct advantage. Plus, there are many more right handed guitars available.
Many companies, like Martin, charge the same for a left handed model. If you insist on playing lefty then just buy a left handed guitar. Don't ruin a perfectly good guitar. Good luck.
Edited to add:
Here's a nice picture of the bracing on the inside of the top of a good acoustic guitar:

As you can see, it's asymmetrical.

All You Need to Know About Left Handed Guitars
The first statement on the topic would be that, the left handed guitar is a mirror image of the right handed one. This type is held with a freeboard in the right and the picking work is done with the left hand but the phrase that the left handed guitar being the mirror image of the right handed guitar comes from the fact that the strings are also reversed. The only more difficult thing than learning it is that it is hard to get even now when many laws against biased practices have been sanctioned. Though if you have your house in some major city than you can get your hands on a real art piece which could even be modified according to your preferences.
If you are a beginner in this field, than you should first socialize and get to know some of the other players. They could share with you their experience which counts their mistakes that they learnt from and the achievements afterwards. This can be a very helpful step as you will get the first chart of do's and don'ts framed out and you can work accordingly.
There are some guitar manufacturers in the world like Martin, Gibson, Norman, Faith, Seagull and Simon who can provide you with your own customized guitar. These are the big names when it comes to the musical instrument such as guitar and they are not biased towards only a single hand, they offer an equal chance to all the players to shine. They provide a left handed player all the facilities that you can otherwise get. Facilities like a new range of left handed acoustic guitars and providing many customizable options or user specific guitars. However, the more you get, the more you pay, i.e. the prices may be far above the ground.
While playing the left handed guitar, there is no need of follow any rules. Design your own way to play the guitar. Hold the guitar in the position in which you feel comfortable. If you are playing the right handed guitar with left hand, you should adjust the guitar and the strings settings as well. People love to play the guitar not only in romance but also to get the self satisfaction and peace. These aspects of guitar playing have existed for years and the next generations of left handed guitar player are sure to carry it on their shoulders much higher than it actually was.
