I want to get started in the RE space and get under the wing of someone more experienced in fix and flips.

Ask an investor to tell you their buy & hold or flip economic model and they start stuttering.

I'm a Licensed Real Estate Agent in Upstate NY - more specifically the Capital District outside of Saratoga Springs, NY. 

I think, in general, unless you're an extremely high W2 earner just looking to get into real estate for tax purposes, buying for cash flow gives you the durability to weather market fluctuations as you're never in a position where your back is against the wall and you need to sell... unless you have debt coming due.Now, that being said, if the true cash flow, after allocating for all expenses, vacancy, maintenance, capex, etc. is in the black, then I think taking a 5% CoC return in an appreciating market isn't a bad move, especially if there is a component of value-add. 

Do you own any other real estate?

I’m expanding my fix & flip operations to Columbus, and I’m looking to build a solid team.

Hello, I am new to Real Estate investing world, and have been educating myself since summer of last year, and been to only one local REI meeting and currently enrolled in a very good online course mostly on how to wholesale properties, but still have not pulled the trigger yet.

Real Situation, no not real names.Things happen, friendship is over for whatever reason.They were doing a house hack while renting out the other rooms to tenants. 

Done a couple of flips, currently working on one that I’m considering to brrr it’s a single family 3bdrm 2 bath.and hoping to get a multi unit next. we are very skilled in the construction end (have a hardwood floor business) new to the nuances of rentals especially in New York State .

My partner, Will, and I are preparing to get into flipping in the Berkshires of Massachusetts in the coming 6-12 months.
