For example, population growth in certain neighborhoods and increased investor activity have created opportunities for both long-term rentals and value-add deals.If you’re torn between wholesaling and holding long-term rentals, I’d suggest thinking about your long-term goals.

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.

With experience in construction and sales, you'll definitely be able to use those skills to your advantage when doing value-add deals.The better the deal is, the easier it will be to do the BRRRR method and you can find some of the best deals off-market, so it's important to build a solid network and create deal flow so you can see as many opportunities as possible.
