Real estate strategies
I help here the same way I help on a business buy or exit: understand what you are trying to solve, pressure-test the downside, then pick structure and capital that still make sense after urgency fades. The cards below are common plays—not a checklist you have to fit.
Buying or selling a primary home or listing is its own lane—see buying a property and selling a property. Each play below has different capital needs, timelines, and risk—or text with your story if you are not sure where to start.
Fix & Flip
Buy distressed, renovate, sell for profit. The margin between your all-in cost and sale price is everything.
6–18 month hold • Hard money / private capital • Sale exit
Buy & Hold Rental
Purchase property and rent long-term for cash flow and appreciation. The foundation of most serious portfolios.
Long-term hold • Conventional / DSCR financing • Income exit
BRRRR
Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat. Recycle capital into the next deal by extracting equity post-rehab.
2-phase funding • Bridge → conventional refi • Equity recycling
Multi-Family
Duplexes through apartment complexes. Multiple income streams, scalable financing, and value-add potential.
2–4 units (residential) or 5+ (commercial) • DSCR / agency • NOI-driven value
Short-Term Rental
Airbnb and VRBO properties. Higher income potential than long-term rental with more management and market risk.
ADR × occupancy • Seasonal variance • Regulatory risk
Wholesaling
Assign contracts to cash buyers for a fee. No rehab or holding costs — but margins depend on finding deep enough deals.
No financing needed • Assignment fee • ARV accuracy critical
Land Investing
Raw land, entitlement plays, and lot splits. Lower entry cost — but longer timelines and limited conventional financing.
Cash / seller finance • Zoning is everything • Entitlement upside
