How much will you pay as an investor . . . Buy & Hold vs. Flip
Property ARV is ~ $180K, Rent in area is ~ $1650. repairs is estimated at $20k. How much will you pay if you flip vs. Buy and hold? Or does it even matter? Thanks.

Buy and holds typically is 1% rule. But there are the bp calculators to help look at everything in detail.
Flip basics is using the MAO forumal ARV*70 - repairs = 110k.
From here you need to see how motivated the seller is. If they are motivated and go for the flip number if not as much or not as much equity then go for the rental number (160k).
