Flipping or holding and renting?

[Rita Koroll]

As an amateur starting out, is it better to start with rentals for cash flow or flipping? 

[Aaron Reynolds]

Hi Rita, from what I have learned in my experience (having done both rentals and flips) and from reading other's experiences, there's no clear cut answer.  Everyone is different.  It depends on what your goals are (short and long term) plus what your skills are.  Can you manage a flip or do the work yourself?  Do you want to deal with tenants?  I encourage you to keep reading and learning to figure out what will fit you.  Good luck in your endeavors.
