From Fix-and-Flips & BRRRR to Build-2-Rent

[Mandy Carling]

I've been around real estate my whole life — from fix-and-flips to BRRRR strategies. Over time, I've learned what works and what doesn't as markets change.

Some common challenges with older properties include:

• Renovation costs that reduce overall returns

• Unexpected maintenance that impacts predictability

• Longer vacancies that slow returns

Takeaway: Real estate isn’t one-size-fits-all. The right strategy is the one that aligns with the market, your goals, and long-term performance.

I’m curious — how are you approaching your next rental investments: older rehabs, new construction, or a mix of both?

 I hold onto my brrrr deals for like 5-7 years and sell. I re-evaluate my portfolio every yeard and off-load the ones i don't want and take capital and re-invest into larger properties. You can 1031 into something bigger or take capital and invest in other companies. 

Don't just put it in your bank!
