Flipping vs. BRRRR Investing + Which to Choose | Analyzing Real Estate Deals

Baked into the BRRRR strategy are multiple different exit plans. If you aren’t able to refinance, you’re able to flip. If you are able to refinance, you can choose whether you want long-term, passive wealth-building income, or regular one-time income. That best part about real estate investing: it’s up to you and your personal choice!

Tarl has brought along with us a real-life example of the flipping vs. BRRRR investing dilemma, and spells out exactly what he would (and did) do in the situation. There are lots of mistakes to be made, but having an extra exit plan, cash reserves on the side, and experience with renovations/remodels can save you a huge amount of headache and money along the way. Stick around to hear Tarl’s pro tips, his key mistakes during this remodel, and an example of the finishing package he uses for his flips.
