Welcome back to our exploration of the benefits of a buy-and-hold strategy over fixing and flipping. Last time we talked about the protection against market fluctuations but there are more benefits of holding real estate over flipping.
Steady rental income provides financial stability and acts as a buffer during market downturns. In contrast, fix-and-flip investors face intermittent income, dependent solely on the sale of renovated properties and often experiencing financial dormancy during the renovation phase.
The buy-and-hold strategy’s focus on building an income-generating portfolio creates income which is much more passive. This not only fosters financial stability but also allows for diversification, reducing reliance on the success of individual fix-and-flip projects.
And, perhaps most importantly, for those of you prone to anxiety, a steady income is much less anxiety provoking. Having the unknows of rehab costs, rehab timing, and final sale price constantly hanging over your head can be distressing. While being a landlord has it’s own unknowns, they are typically smaller and less frequent. The more properties you acquire, the more diversified you are, and the less there is to worry about.
