Flip or Buy Hold Portfolio

[Francis Branagan]

This is a would you rather scenario. Its a time sensitive scenario, you can't choose both.

1. Flip, purchase price 110k, needs 40-50k, sell for 199. 

2. Rental Porfolio, 5 houses local same town 300k after taxes and mortgages are paid you profit 1500 if all rents are paid and no repairs are needed.

Neither. 

That flip is horrible and unprofitable. 

The Rental Portfolio is a 6% return, which probably becomes a realistic 5% return. Pretty ****** return IMO for 5 properties. Too risky.
