Fix and Flip vs. Rental Properties.Which Investment Strategy Delivers Better Returns?

[Sean MacDonald]

Hey BP community!

I’ve been working with a lot of investors who are split between going the fix-and-flip route or holding properties for rental income. Each strategy seems to have its pros and cons, and I’m curious what the community thinks.

Do fix and flips provide faster returns, or do the long-term benefits of rental income make holding onto properties more appealing?

What are the biggest challenges you’ve faced with either strategy?

How do current market conditions influence your decision to flip or hold?

I’d love to hear some insights from the investors here. What’s worked for you, and how do you make the call between flipping or holding?

 I am a huge believer in that the actual Better strategy is being able to pivot and take what the market/numbers take you - i.e. at the start of the project, be open to Both (either a flip OR a BRRRR), whichever models out better for the individual project
