The Opportunity Cost Of Flipping VS Holding Real Estate

In this video, I break down a real situation I ran into while real estate investing, including dealing with the city, pivoting mid-deal, and how I think through problems when things don’t go as planned. This is the real, unfiltered side of house flipping and real estate investment that most people don’t talk about. Sometimes deals don’t go perfectly, and this was one of those moments. I like to show the real side of real estate investing, not just the wins, but the challenges that come with it, including city run-ins and tough decisions. If you stick around until the end, I walk through opportunity cost and explain why I choose to flip some deals while holding others long term. Hope this adds value.
