Quick flips give you faster cash back in your pocket and let you roll into the next deal sooner, which builds momentum.

I just hired a leasing agent and she is making money and learning. how can you beat that?

Hold the note when:The borrower’s solid — consistent pay history, low maintenance, and solid collateral.The yield beats what you can safely earn elsewhere (say, 9–10%+ on a performing note).You want predictable passive income or you’re in a tax situation where recurring income makes sense.Holding gives you stability — monthly cash flow and a nice amortization curve that quietly builds equity.

Hi all — I’m building a tool and want honest input from active investors and agents.

How do you currently analyze a potential deal?

Estimating true rental income (not list rent).

Modeling taxes, insurance...

You'll have to run numbers to determine target numbers for flip including timelines but in the beginning we found it faster to do it this way than savings from a W2.

i think some of what you said is accurate - prices and rents were previously increasing faster than they are likely to do over the next few years, which had a buoying effect that should no longer be counted on.so yes, the ideal situation is: interest rates are stable or falling, rents are increasing, and your own personal W2 income is increasing. 

The lower it goes from that mark the faster it moves, to the point of yes, a 48/72hr listing time is still happening.

I’m currently closing on my first primary home with my VA loan in Hawaii and really want to start learning how to invest to achieve my goals.The end goal for me is long-term wealth and financial freedom so I can spend more time with my family and have more control over my time.I’ve been researching different real estate mentorship programs and communities — Brandon Turner’s First Deal, Pace Morby’s SubTo, Faster Freedom, WNN Properties, and a few others.

You seem like you're really cheap, maybe this cluster F has beat that out of you.
