Rehabbing & Flipping in Today’s Market – What Are You Seeing?

[Richard Dickson]

Hey BiggerPockets community,

I’ve been seeing a lot of different takes on rehabbing and flipping in the current market. Some investors are pulling back because of higher costs and tighter buyer demand, while others are finding creative ways to keep margins strong.

A few things I’ve noticed recently:

• Material & labor costs are still high, but stabilizing in some areas.

• Exit strategies are shifting—some investors are turning flips into short-term rentals or lease-to-own.

• Financing is critical—having reliable funding in place makes or breaks the deal.

At RJD Investments, we’re actively working with investors who are rehabbing and flipping, and we’ve seen success by staying flexible with timelines and making sure acquisition + rehab numbers leave room for profit.

Curious to hear from you all:

• How are you adjusting your flipping strategies in this market?

• Are you still going after heavy rehabs, or are you leaning toward lighter cosmetic flips?

• What trends are you noticing in your local markets?

Looking forward to learning from everyone’s experience and sharing ideas.
