I'm looking to get into buy and flip properties, but eventually get into buy and hold.

I understand an AC or a roof has a life span and they will eventually need to be replaced but lets assume after 15 years of holding the property, nothing broke or wore out.What are peoples experiences with this?

Are you planning to eventually rent it separately?

I eventually want to get into buy and holds, renting for passive income.  

(just kidding....but not really)I've found this site to be incredibly inspirational thus far and I hope to continue to learn more and eventually be able to contribute from my experiences.

My goals are to learn more about fix & flip, buy and hold, and eventually earning enough passive income to "retire" and spend more quality time with my family and focus on my hobbies, which are woodworking and maybe even some furniture building...down the road.Love the website, great information and lots of nice people willing to share their knowledge and experiences.

I eventually want to learn rehabbing but for now I want to build a relationship and see where that takes me.
