Hi Sean,Both fix-and-flip and buy-and-hold strategies have their merits, and choosing between them often depends on your goals, risk tolerance, and market conditions.Fix-and-flip can provide quicker returns, but it's highly market-dependent and comes with risks like unexpected renovation costs and market fluctuations.
