Rent, Flip… or Flop?

Filed under Home Buyers, Renovations on Sep 28,2017 | Tagged in: , , , ,

If you’ve ever thought about buying an investment property, you’re not alone. Real estate can be a great way to diversify your existing investment portfolio – if you know what you’re doing.

The two most common investments people consider are buying a property and renting it out, or purchasing a property that needs work, renovating it and then flipping it back onto the market for resale. Both approaches offer benefits and potential drawbacks. Ownership of a rental property can create an income stream, and offer a long-term return on your investment. But it also makes you a landlord responsible for maintenance and tenant issues. The fix-and-flip approach has the potential to give you a bigger bang for your buck in short-term financial gain – but you may also encounter unexpected renovation costs, while shouldering the expense of a mortgage and taxes during the renovation time span. A smart way to get started is to do your homework. These articles from NerdWallet and ZacksFinance can help.
