Are you adjusting your strategy as rents decline?

Hi Robert, your situation sounds exactly like another gentleman I am working with right now and helping with his 1031 strategy and execution.

Here is the statement expanded to include formulas for doing one flip per year, two flips per year, five flips per year, and ten flips per year: One flip per year: If you start with $50,000 and do one flip per year, aiming for a 35 percent return, your progress would be: Year 1: $50,000 + (35% × $50,000) = $67,500 Year 2: $67,500 + (35% × $67,500) = $91,125 Year 3: $91,125 + (35% × $91,125) = $123,019Two flips per year: If you start with $50,000 and do two flips per year, aiming for a 35% return on each, your progress would be: Year 1: $50,000 + (0.7 × $50,000) = $85,000 Year 2: $85,000 + (0.7 × $85,000) = $144,500 Year 3: $144,500 + (0.7 × $144,500) = $245,650Five flips per year: If you start with $50,000 and do five flips per year, aiming for a 35% return on each, your progress would be: Year 1: $50,000 + (1.75 × $50,000) = $137,500 Year 2: $137,500 + (1.75 × $137,500) = $378,125 Year 3: $378,125 + (1.75 × $378,125) = $1,039,844Ten flips per year: If you start with $50,000 and do ten flips per year, aiming for a 35% return on each, your progress would be: Year 1: $50,000 + (3.5 × $50,000) = $225,000 Year 2: $225,000 + (3.5 × $225,000) = $787,500 Year 3: $787,500 + (3.5 × $787,500) = $2,756,250The key points remain the same, which is to aim for a high return through flipping, reinvest the profits to compound the gains, and be disciplined in order to build significant wealth over just a few years of this real estate investing strategy.

Hi @Jerry Nogueras that depends on your goals and how open minded you are to different strategies. 

My primary strategy is Fix and Flip, and I bring a DIY attitude to every project.

A nice multi family property that you can do some light fixtures on sounds like a perfect strategy for you so you and your wife can have your own unit.

One strategy is to pursue properties (in your preferred markets) that have been listed for sale for over 90 days (even longer is better).

Chicago, with its vibrant neighborhoods and strong rental market, is a prime location for this strategy.

I'd love to find some other people who are currently invested with Fairway America and - ideally - in this exact investment.Thanks,Matt BrownFairway has put out a ton of deals in a variety of real estate asset classes and strategies.

It can be very easy to get tangled down in the weeds of all the different strategies.
