Buy & Hold and Fix & Flip?

[Tyler Piciullo]

General question here. I’m new. I understand that fix and flipping is an active business like a job and buy/hold is passive like an investment. My question is if you’re a full time fix and flipper looking to get into buy/hold real estate does that career path give you better skills, better deals, and a better chance of knowing the business and acquiring more buy/hold investments vs just being an employee or a business owner running some random company?

Hey @Tyler Piciullo - I'm an investor and realtor. 

A 1000000% yes. Even as a realtor that works mainly with investors and orbits the real estate investing spheres in my market, I've come across deals that I would have moved forward with in a heartbeat if I had the liquidity to do so. 

As a flipper, yes you're more boots on the ground but once you get a few flips under your belt and are more intertwined with your local real estate movers & shakers... they'll naturally start to put more deals in front of you. 

Besides, if you're a smart flipper you'll likely have an advantage over others in terms of buying distressed properties to fix and then rent out. 

Look into BRRRR method of investing :)
