If you look back across folks that have built successful flipping businesses, you'll see they almost always exit...mostly to teach...large profit centers in intellectual property...or they start to lend...or move to buy-and-hold.If you're a contractor or love construction, flip away...or limit your flipping to 1-2 properties a year while focusing on buy-and-hold....Again, this is all relative, I'm just trying to encourage you to weigh the options and gain the opinions of folks that have been down this path.

Most "portfolio" style loans will be a 20 year adjustable renovation loan but as I mentioned above the Fannie Mae loan is a good 30 year loan if you can qualify for that loan type.
