Maximize Your Real Estate Wealth
Have “Keepers” AND “Flippers” 

What your keepers do for your flippers:

(1) The rental losses offset the flip profits.

(2) Help avoid dealer status on the flips by demonstrating “rental \ investment” intent with your property.

(3) Steady perpetual cash flow to pay for every day living expenses

(4) Pay for any “holding” costs during the holding period of your flippers.

(5) Long-term wealth accumulation (equity growth)

(6) Refinance the keeper and use cash to buy more flippers.

(7) The tenants in the keepers can be a source of buyers for your flippers.

What your flippers do for your keepers:

(1) Use the flip profits to upgrade the keepers - increasing value and tenant quality.

(2) Flip profits may buy more keepers to add to your portfolio value.

(3) Flip profits act as a reserve for unexpected large repair or extended vacancy. 

(4) Use the flip profits to pay down debt on the keepers -especially high interest debt.

A Rehabber's Tale: The Reality of Fixing and Flipping Real Estate

Avoiding Rehabbing Pitfalls  

If you are looking for one of the easiest ways to make money in real estate, you have probably considered rehabbing properties. Don’t be fooled however, into thinking that rehabbing will make you an instant millionaire. Despite what you may have been told, rehabbing takes a lot of planning, hard work and money.

There are many pitfalls that would be rehabbers find themselves in from time to time. The key to getting a good start in this business is to know what not to do.  Avoiding these common mistakes can save you a ton of time and money!

Aside from having the mindset that rehabbing is a get rich quick scheme, one of the most common mistakes real estate investors make is failing to do extensive enough research on a property prior to purchase. While research is important no matter what area of real estate you specialize in, it is perhaps most important when it comes to rehabbing junkers. Don’t go into any deal blind, practice due diligence before you make any real estate purchase.

Another big mistake rehabbers make is going into a deal with the mindset that you will be able to do all the work on a rehab property yourself. Quite honestly, it takes more than a handyman to do adequate work on a run down property. If you go into a deal with plans of doing all the work yourself and things don’t pan out, you will find yourself up a creek without a paddle! You must plan for the problems that will inevitably arise!

Most importantly, never and I mean never, get into rehabbing if you cannot afford to hold onto a property. Mark my words, there will be times that you will be unable to sell your rehabbed property and you must be able to financially make it through those times. Create an exit strategy and don’t be afraid to ride the real estate roller coaster.
