Decision: Flip it or Buy and Hold?
I have a property under contract in Indianapolis and trying to decide if I should flip it or keep it as a rental.
What criteria do you look at when deciding between the two? Do you account for taxes in your analysis? Other fees like agent commissions or property management fees?
I’d like to build a model that would be easy to plug in a property’s estimated numbers and it tell me if it will be a better flip or buy and hold investment. Looking for your thoughts to consider while I build this out. Thanks!

Hi Kenny, I'm a flipper myself. I would love to give you insights and share my thoughts if you're interested.
