Finding a solid flip is a great way to build the capital stack, but it is really a perfect time to develop a solid rental portfolio in Houston.  

We tried something less ambitious by targeting a neighborhood in Decatur with both rentals and flips.

There are waiting periods required by FHA before they will lend on a flip.

hello guys I'm new to bigger pockets and pretty new to real estate investing I did a couple of flips back in 07 and 08 that worked out well but since the crash I have not done anything since, I'm looking to get into buying to flip and buying to rent out, I guess things have changed since then,  I have very little money like $4000.00 any suggests on where to start would be greatly appreciated for this 60 year old young man who really wants to get into the real estate business. thanks guys

Flipping new construction is not exactly an easy thing to do unless you are the contractor and build it yourself.

Are these rates for permanent purchase and hold loans or flips? 

I want to pay for the rehab and then I want to flip it and we will split the profit.

Hmm if the buyer pays cash and intends to rent the condo, it seems like warrantable vs. non-warrantable becomes irrelevant; however, if the buyer intends to fix/flip the condo, I could see where it may become problematic because the next buyer may have difficulties getting a mortgage.

If not, I would flip it.

After an initial discussion with him, he came back to me and told me investors he works with have started lending money to house flippers and have stopped flipping themselves.
