The Playbook

Each strategy has its own set of rules, metrics, and workflows. Pick the one that matches your capital, timeline, and risk tolerance.

Buy & Hold

The 1% Rule — cashflow through long-term rental income

Acquire properties that rent for ≥ 1% of purchase price per month. Collect cashflow, build equity, and scale over decades.

BRRRR

Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat — recycle your capital

Buy distressed at a discount, force equity through rehab, rent, then cash-out refi to pull your capital back for the next deal.

Buy & Flip

Forced appreciation through renovation — in and out in under 6 months

Buy below market, renovate quickly, and sell before carrying costs eat your margin. Speed and accurate ARV estimation are everything.

Short-Term Rental

Maximize yield through nightly occupancy in tourist and business markets

Generate 2-3x the gross rent of a long-term lease with active management, higher operating costs, and local regulation navigation.
