\"House-in-Hand\"<\/a>Everybody wants to get into the property game \u2013 either as a flipper or a keeper. If you not familiar with the terms, a \u201cflipper\u201d is a property investor who buys properties for the sole purpose of turning a quick resale profit, usually within a year. But a \u201ckeeper\u201d is a buyer who holds the property for at least a year.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The comparison table below outlines the differences between the two:<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"flipper<\/a><\/p>\n

However, there are also those who have a foot in both camps by employing both strategies for different types of property \u2013 depending on their investment personality<\/a>, investment goals and\/or opportunities presented by the existing market.<\/p>\n

The determination of what type of property buyer you are depends on your objectives. If you veer more towards property keeper, with a good strategy in place, it is possible that rental income can be the highest monthly wage you will ever earn.<\/p>\n

However, when a property flipper stumbles onto a good deal, it can be the fastest way to recover their investment and earn a profit \u2013 allowing them to use that cash to buy more properties.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is, set your objectives (steady monthly income or a one-time quick profit) and decide on your strategy before choosing the right type of properties.<\/p>\n

So, which type of property buyer are you \u2013 keeper or flipper?<\/p>\n
