Be mindful of short-term capital gains tax, as profits from flips held for less than a year are taxed as ordinary income, and frequent flipping may result in self-employment taxes.While profits from flips do not qualify for 1031 exchanges (since flips are considered inventory, not investment properties), you can minimize your tax burden by deducting allowable expenses like renovation costs, loan interest, and holding expenses.If you're considering diversifying into rentals, explore opportunities to benefit from long-term tax advantages such as depreciation and lower long-term capital gains rates.

@Dave Tasset I haven't personally invested with this company but have heard good things about then. 7e Investments, Chris posts frequently on BP.

If you can create high quality real estate related content, you can attract a large audience and find motivated sellers in the process.

Part of lead flow on BP I suspect also has to do with the market you serve and the BP audience.

Just a heads up, we don't post our prices publicly because we raise them frequently given our growth, and don't want potential members to get outdated pricing information.

I work with a lot of MTR investors and what I am seeing frequently with multifamily acquisitions, particularly with new investors, is that they often test the property just like you're mentioning, as a way to dip their toes in the water and see what works in their area and for their personal style.

Tax-wise, profits are taxed at your ordinary income rate, and frequent flips may subject you to self-employment tax if classified as a dealer by the IRS.

I'm hoping to start some social media campaigns which are completely unrelated to real estate, but if I build up a sizeable audience over the years, then maybe I can get others to invest with me.

I personally think #2 limits your audience.
