I agree that “buying right” is the key, and yes, flipping and rehabbing are always good strategies as long as one does buy right so that your buyer can also get a good deal on their purchase. It’s always all about the numbers. The better your deal going in, the easier it is to flip or resell at a profit, while still offering a competitive product. The housing bust really began in 2006 as investors who were over paying for over valued properties found that they could not cash flow or flip them for a decent profit.

The key is in her summation: for investors to focus on positive cash flow.
Now, of course, that is for buy and hold properties. I am also a staunch supporter of flipping and rehabbing houses. This has been and will be a lucrative market in at almost all times, except when the market is going down precipitously.
So, buy right, be adamant re your due diligence, and get in and out quickly. And good returns are to be had.
