If you're tax bill is $6-8k (minus the 1031 fees), surely you can make that up by taking multiple swings over a longer period of time.OR pursue some sort of owner occupied strategy with that cash if you can swing a live in flip or house hack.

On the flip side, if you've got a bunch of Section 8 tenants living in a building that's in a neighborhood where a lot of the tenant base has good jobs, high credit scores, and are generally reliable people, you've got the most risky tenants in that tenant base and that ain't what ya want.

After you purchase your first property, I would use some of your savings to do a BRRRR or a flip and potentially a rental as well.

Esp when I'm on the go and doing a flip.

My ultimate goal is to save up enough money to invest in a fix and flip property(which my family has been doing for a while) and live in it, until I rent it out and use the equity for another home.For any real estate agents or professionals in general, how do you find consistant deals?

A BP fan favorite and a great way to snowball overtime. 4️⃣ Invest in Syndications or Private Lending:If you’re not ready to own property yourself, you can passively invest in syndications or become a private lender on fix-and-flip projects.

They have never purchased a house themselves or flipped a property, but they look great on Instagram/Youtube and here in Bigger pockets, too.

(a great place to flip rn btw).

But my SOP was to flip..

I think you nailed it already, they probably just have too many deals to manage as flips.
