Best West Direct: Arizona fix and flip Vs Buy and Hold

When you come across a property to use as an investment, you’ll have to decide whether to Arizona fix and flip or buy and hold. Here are some reasons why fixing and flipping using a hard money lender might be the way to go.

Investors have a decision to make once they’ve rehabbed a property. The main difference is whether you’re going to make income up front or whether you want an income stream to come in long term.

Below you’ll find an explanation of why one may work better for you than the other.

Buy and Hold

A buy and hold property is one that you’ll rehab and use as a rental. You’ll have property management costs if you choose to use a company to manage the property and maintenance costs. The goal of a buy and hold is to keep your costs to a minimum, so you have positive cash flow coming in each month. In this case you can still use a hard money lender to finance the purchase and rehab until you can secure long term financing.

Arizona fix and flip

Unlike a buy and hold, a Arizona fix and flip will be sold as soon as the renovations are completed, giving you instant cash flow to put towards your next investment. This can provide less stress with upkeep and monthly costs associated with a buy and hold.

So how do you decide whether to work with a hard money lender for a Arizona fix and flip loan or to focus on a buy and hold property? Here’s where having market knowledge will be helpful because some properties due to their specifications or location won’t bring in a high rental income. That should be a huge determining factor.

Also, if you aren’t able to buy the company with cash or obtain a loan that will give you low monthly costs that can be covered, and then some, by the rental income.

If you’re interested in making income from real estate you’ll want to research your options, get to know your market, and work with a knowledgeable team who can help you complete your renovation and then either sell the property or rent it out for top dollar.
