Buying new constructions and holding them for only 3 to 5 years is an interesting strategy.

Hey @Abigail King - I'm quite a bit further north here in Chicago, but my friend @Brad Stegall hosts a great meetup in Perioa - consider connecting with him and attending the event.Are you looking to buy & hold or fix & flip?

Yep texas puts a six month hold. 

For holding vs. flipping, let your goals and market conditions guide you—flipping can build quick capital, but holding offers long-term gains.

I will likely buy with cash and not hold a mortgage. 

Last year I would have said buy and hold.

If you will be a large equity partner or if you hold the experience to do the deal, the lender will likely want you on as a guarantor.

The assignment fees then enabled me to roll into other strategies, buy and hold, fix and flip.  

This can be a game-changer for fix-and-flips, buy-and-hold investments, or new development projects.For lenders, it can mean earning higher returns, often in the range of 8-12%, backed by the property itself.

Usually I lean toward buy and hold but that would be a great profit margin on a flip.
