If you are looking at flipping and end up not being able to sell for a 6-9 months can you sustain yourself with no income for that amount of time?

This ASFBA stellar price hike can not sustain and will not go on much longer.

I would be surprised if a $25,000 purchase will immediately sustain an $800 a month tenant.

Hoping is not a strategy.This is not a sustainable way of investing and thats one of the reasons why I personally decided to move to the US and start building a portfolio here.Thanks.

If you can sustain that you should be fine.

Although I am lucky to have found a great location as well as a harmonious and sustainable house hack, I don't believe the location is the biggest concern for me in the beginning.

, if you feel you have tried everything you feel you could to rent the place and can't, it may be time to sell, even if you sustain a loss selling it may be less than what you would lose holding on to it.

@Kurtis Montgomery, for your BRRRR strategy to be sustainable, don't forget that when you come to borrow against it for your next Buy, you need to aim for its APPRAISAL to be ~40% MORE than you've both put into it - so that you aren't putting ANY more of your own money into the Repeats!

I'd follow their recommendation, if it resonates with you.  

There were higher end buildings right off or Route 1 in either Saugus or Revere that were higher end units that ultimately had a terrible vacancy rate because they were not sustainable at the time for the area.
