🎥 DESCRIPTION
Have you ever thought, "Why would you ever flip a house when you could hang onto it as a rental?" Or maybe you've thought, "Why would anyone have rentals when you could flip houses?" Well then, this episode is for you!
In this episode, Cam and I sit down to settle the age-old debate - which is better, flipping or holding? Specifically, we talk about:
• how today's interest rate environment is influencing each strategy
• unique strategies to find cash flow
• what is best for you, depending on your specific situation
• and SO much more

| 0:45.0 | I brought Cam in here, one, because of the co-host of the Better Life podcast with me, but |
