Flipping vs. Holding: Which Strategy Builds More Wealth?

  • - Flipping offers quick profits but involves higher taxes and market risk.
  • - Holding generates ongoing cash flow, equity growth, and tax advantages from depreciation.

No right or wrong, each approach aligns with different goals, budgets, and risk tolerances. Some investors flip for immediate capital and then pivot to buy-and-hold properties for long-term wealth.

Which do you prefer—flip for faster returns or hold for long-term growth?

We are starting out with flipping because, as @Mohamed Youssef stated, we would like to build up a bit more capital. But our long-term plan is buy and hold.
