Fix N'Flips vs. Buy and Hold

There is no surprise that the Denver market is exploding right now.  So many people are looking to get into investing in the Denver market, and find that Fix N'Flips are the best avenue to do so.  As an investor with over 65 properties in the Denver area, this is mind boggling to me.  

Hi, my name is Matt.  We are an investor focused real estate group that prides itself in being experts in the current Denver market.  We are constantly doing research and investing our own money into the market, because we believe in it.

Atlas started in 2008 as a Fix N'Flip company.  Between 2008-2009 we did over 550 flips when the housing prices were low.  Now that the prices have skyrocketed, we have adapted our strategy.  Currently, we are encouraging our clients to consider buy and hold.  It does not satisfy those who need instant gratification, but it does satisfy those investor savvy buyers that are looking to build long term wealth.  

What is your opinion on this topic?  Are you still finding solid deals and making good margins on your Fix N'Flips?  What are your concerns about buying and holding? 

I would love to hear what other investors are thinking about this topic. 

-Matt

Thank you both for responding. For us, it just seems that Fix N'Flips margins are just so much narrower than what they used to be.  Unless you have a deal similar to what Scott talked about. 

Matt,  we have several investors that we work with.  One of our investors being a hedge fund out of Chicago that own over 25,000 properties across the US.
