rehab vs flipping

N/A N/A
Posted

I am not clear as to the difference between rehabbing and house and flipping one. Could it be that when you flip it is for quick profit and you would do a 1031 vs rehabbing which you would live in it and hold on to a home at lease 2 yrs for capital gains?

Please help clarify for me.

Thank you very much,
Barbara

A lot of people use them interchangeably.

I typically think of "rehabbing" as longer term more substantial improvements whereas "flipping" would be more cosmetic and focused on a quicker turn around.

But that's more for positioning in my own mind. Ultimately they're essentially the same for most people.
