In today's market, rising interest rates and economic uncertainty might favor holding properties for stable cash flow, while flips could be riskier if buyer demand softens.For many, a hybrid approach works→ flipping in strong markets and holding rentals for long-term stability.

Not saying its a bad deal based on loan terms because it might make sense just know as an LP what you are getting into.Market Type & Competition:Determine if the property is in a primary, secondary, or tertiary market.Evaluate supply and demand, focusing on new inventory coming online in primary and secondary markets versus more stable tertiary markets.

Hello everyone, I've done 3 buy and hold rental properties, and now I want to do flips, I need investors and I have some that have shown interest, in addition to speaking to private lenders that are willing to fund 70% of the LTV (based on the desired property)I'm seeing a lot of deals from wholesalers, but the problem is, some of them close in 2 weeks and some as long as a month, and they don't take conditional offers, and the good ones fly off the shelf really quick.My question is, how does someone like me close one of those deals within this short period, how do you arrange the equity and financing with little to no inspections sometimes even.I'd like to know how do I prepare myself to be able to close one of these good deals right away when they are offered to me and many others?

They all use variable debt because (theoretically) it is a lower rate than fixed and it gives them 3-7 years to "stabilize" the property, "value add" by renovating and jacking up rents, and then selling the asset at a huge profit to either another REIT who thinks they can do even better or (less commonly) to a Blackstone or similar, someone who might theoretically hold it for 10 or 20 years as a stable, income producing asset.

Wholesaling might work if you find the right buyer who sees the long-term rental potential, but you're not likely to see significant gains quickly with the numbers you’ve shared.Given that you're cash-flowing well and have a stable tenant through August 2025, holding the property while pulling out equity to pursue other deals sounds like a strong move.

Here are a few:Pros: -Reliable rent paid every month-Stable tenants that typically stay in the unit for a long time-Purchase prices are typically lower so easier barrier to entryCons:-Getting the files onboarded and processed is very tedious.

This will give you a clear picture of any liens or claims that could affect your plan.Consider Subject-To Financing: This gives you more control over the property, simplifies resale (especially if an FHA buyer is involved), and eliminates risks associated with the seller retaining legal title.Weigh the Risks of a Land Contract: If you’re looking to avoid closing costs, a land contract could work, but ensure that the seller is financially stable and cooperative.
