House flipping / BRRRR guidance

Aqsa Mughees
Posted Jun 15 2024, 08:28

Hi, I have some savings (under 50k) and want to invest in real estate, preferably BRRRR or a house flip.

1. I have done some research and feel like Midwest is a good option for either (might be wrong). Need guidance. 
2. What are the pre-reqs of BRRRR / house flip?
3. I need someone to manager everything for me. Is there a way to do that?

Hi Aqsa,

Where specifically in the Midwest? There are many investors doing BRRRRs out of state in Midwest (KS, OH, MI, etc). When you say pre-reqs, do you mean in terms of qualifying for a loan? You'd want to have good FICO and enough liquidity. It's difficult to be completely hands off on your first one because BRRRR and flips are active investment methods. If you want to be hands off, it's better to do a rental. Otherwise, you can achieve it by gathering a team, hiring a project manager, partnering with a sweat equity partner, or using turnkey BRRRR companies.

Hi! What do you mean by hands off? Also, I have zero knowledge on what areas in Midwest will be good. Heard about Ohio though. Don’t have any data points. I can’t work with interest due to personal preferences so I don’t know what option will work the best for me.
