Buy and Hold, Fix and Flip? What’s best for you? The buy and hold strategy offers the opportunity to achieve relatively stable returns over a long period of time while taking advantage depreciation, paying down of your mortgage, and appreciation of value over time. Fix and flip can be a bit more risky though. This strategy requires buying the right home at the right price giving you room to make repairs and upgrades to quickly sell at a much higher price. Beware as there’s also the risk that you could over-improve the property and lose money on the deal when it’s time to sell. Let’s talk about a strategy that’s right for you.
