Chase Maher Should I Fix and Flip OR BRRRR
23 August 2019 | 2 replies
Take the flip profits now, or BRRRR with a great interest rate and some cash flow... doesn't keep me up at night bc both options are great, however I want to maximize my time and profits.For any multi-units I am heavy in the BRRRR category, but I have a couple San Diego condo deals I am in contract on now and curious the thoughts from BP on which route is better... and I typically don't like holding condos long term due to the HOA and the low ceiling on cash flow, but another perspective I have heard is how easy they are as a rental.I got in to this for long term wealth #1 and short term profits #2... just an FYI.Condo #1:*This deal is under contract and ready to close in a few weeks using HM at 85% of PP and 100% of Rehab with 9/2.PP: $155,000Rehab: $30,000 - $32,000ARV: $260,000 with upside as nothing has sold in building in 2 yearsHOA: $300 a moRental: $1750-$1800PITI w/ HOA from Refi ~ $1,500Minimal VacancyBRRRR Pros: In a predominantly rental area, can 100% BRRRR and hold for $250-$300 a mo cash flow.Flip Pros: I'm licensed so it'll only cost me about 4% cost of sale Condo #2: *This deal is in negotiations with bank for Short Sale using HM at 85% of PP and 100% of Rehab with 9/2.PP: $150,000 - $200,000 (Discrepancy because we are negotiating... starting at 150k, closer to 200k will lean me towards flip vs BRRRR)Rehab: $28,000 - $30,000ARV: $295,000 HOA: $388 a moRental: $1800PITI w/ HOA from Refi ~ $1,600 or less, depending on purchase price/refi priceMinimal Vacancy, Brand new hospital being build walking distance, less cash flow but better area than Condo #1BRRRR Pros: In a predominantly rental area, can 100% BRRRR and hold for $200-$300 a mo cash flow.Flip Pros: I'm licensed so it'll only cost me about 4% cost of sale---TL;DR - Are condos good for BRRRR or better to flip and keep my rentals as multis or high cash flow SFR's

Once you do decide to procure your first rental, definitely lean on the BiggerPockets community as a resource; I'll also say that it could be worth considering a shot at a software solution built for DIY landlords (1 - 15 units) to bring some automation to the rental management process (just to make things much much easier for you)!
