Seeking flips advises

May Wen-Li
Posted

Hi investors!

We have been flipping houses for about 2 years and did about 9 houses so far. 1 of them didnt sell for 2.5months so we cashed out and renting it out instead.  We are currently selling one but no offer after 2 months on the market.

I was wondering usually how long do you list the property before cashing out and convert it to rental? 

What is a reasonable profit in this market? How do you find cheap foreclosures? 

Any good strategies to save in taxes?  

I feel like flip is a good way to get cash flow but rentals are more profitable in long term. Do most of you do flips or both?

Any advise is appreciated! Thanks!

Most flippers do not just convert a home to a rental after two months because most good flips would not make good rentals.  The rest of your questions completely depend on what part of the country you are located in.
