We bought this house thinking it would be a quick flip with $30k profit. Instead, we realized we overpaid, underestimated the repairs, and couldn’t resell it—even to other investors. After trying (and failing) to unload it, we faced a tough choice:
❌ Take a big loss
✅ Or rehab it and keep it as a rental
In the end, we chose to hold it. It’s not a home run, but it cashflows enough to buy time and avoid a major hit. 💸
This deal was a huge reminder that every investor needs multiple exit strategies. Not every property will be a slam dunk, but knowing when to pivot can save you from disaster.
