Buy and Hold investor vs Flipper - who will make more money in the next 10 years

[James Park]

I've always wondered which investor would come out on top in the next 10 years of investing.

1. Let's say that Julio buys up $50,000 SFRs and flips them for a profit for $25,000 - $40,000 in the Dallas market. He does anywhere from 5-8 transactions a year.

2. Let's say Mark is a buy and hold SFR investor and buy one property a year and finances each one of them with 30 year fixed and rents them for 10 years. So Mark will be holding 10 SFR by end of year 10.

In this case, who would come out ahead? Have you met more people who are multi-millionaires by flipping homes or buying and holding several properties. I know both strategies have its pros and cons.
