It also depends on how you hold your properties; LLC, S Corp etc... as to what the agent will recommend.

I tell this to all of my investors - whatever you buy in Columbus Ohio, you want to hold for the rest of your life!

Unfortunately we've had a very cold winter here, with temps holding below freezing for weeks at a time so many of us are seeing high heating bills in general.

@Lexi Blocksom If the burden of holding the property outweighs the long-term gains, a 1031 exchange allows you to defer all taxes, and you won’t have to recapture depreciation.This option enables you to use the deferred tax benefits to purchase nicer properties in areas with greater growth potential.Once you complete your exchange, you can immediately do a cash-out refinance if you need access to some cash, tax-free.

So yes, you can fix and flip, or hold as a rental, or whatever.

As I build my career as an agent, I’m also passionate about real estate investing, specifically with a goal of purchasing multi-family, buy-and-hold properties where I can live in one unit and rent out the others.I’m here to network, learn from experienced investors, and contribute to the community.

I stick with boring buy and hold, but in another state where the numbers do work.
