Awesome job, very nice! I'm currently in the middle of another BRRRR, but considering flipping it instead (it would be my first flip too).

Thanks!  I think changing your plan is ok, I've sold rentals before if they have appreciated a lot.  I think to myself..."how many years would I have to rent this to make x profit?"  Sometimes it's an easy choice :)

 Thanks John!

Definitely learned a LOT.  If I'm going to continue flipping, I need to make some changes to make it more sustainable.

Congratulations on your first flip, I’m about to finish mine. What is your strategy to deal with the capital gains tax? 

Jashiel, 


Like will stated,  there is not much you can do with a short term flip to avoid capital gains.  The best way to "deal" with them is to pay them :)

Congrats on your success, not bad at all. As a suggestion, take all your hours spent on performing the rehab tasks and calculate what your hourly rate was form your profits. It may be beneficial for you next time to hire out tasks that are “below your pay grade” so you can focus on the higher paid tasks like finding deals, raising money, building your team, adding systems for efficiencies, etc.

 Will, 

Thanks for the suggestion!  That was one of my "woes" from this last project, how long it took me.  I was planning on 2 months when it actually took about 3.5.  If I continue flipping, I will definitely work on assembling a team.  


Thanks Again!  Cheers

Hey everyone,

I just finished my first flip and profited over $30k! It feels good to know that I can be confident in my numbers and rehab estimates. I was only a couple grand off, which I feel pretty good about. Did most of the work myself, which helped my profit quite a bit. If you’re interested in the details, we documented the whole process on YouTube: https://youtu.be/dJ9KTHW78Hk

Anyone else pumped about a recent flip? I’d love to hear about it!
