Why We'd Rather Flip 1 Property Than Own 10 Rental Properties

Want Us To Be Your Mentors? https://fruitfulinvestingacademy.com/... Would you rather do one flip or own 10 rental properties? 🇺🇸 This week, it's just us. Mat Piche built a portfolio of about 50 rental properties with partners in Kitchener-Waterloo. Andrew Hines has been investing in the U.S. on and off since 2012. So when Mat threw this question at Andrew, we didn't land in exactly the same place. Mat's take: the rentals worked, but they took TWELVE YEARS. Flip first to buy your time back. Then let the rentals build the wealth. In this episode, we break down: 🏘️ Why Mat's 50-property portfolio took 12 years of grinding alongside a full-time job 💰 Why flipping is the faster way to replace your income, and rentals are the long-term wealth play 🧮 Peeling the onion on 10 rentals at $1,000 a month: furnaces, roofs, sewer lines and missed rent 🧱 Why cash flow is non-negotiable for Andrew, and how much he kept in reserve for his student rentals 🏠 How buying at 50 cents on the dollar opens every door: flip, wholesale, wholetail or rent 🇨🇦 Why Canadian sellers rarely sell at a deep discount, and MLS deals sit at 90 to 95 cents 🌴 How the lockdowns pushed us both toward the U.S., and what Mat learned about evictions in Florida vs. Ontario 📈 From 24 flips a year at Mat's peak in Canada to being on track for about 100 U.S. deals 🧭 Why we buy in states we've never visited, from Texas to Alabama The real answer is both. The order you do them in decides how fast you get your time back.
