    House Flipping vs Renting: Which Strategy Builds More Wealth in Real Estate Investing?

    Send us a text In this episode of the Rent-ish Podcast, hosts Zach and Patrick are excited to welcome Mackaylee, a powerhouse in the Kansas City real estate space as an agent, investor, and house flipper with over 10 years of experience. Over the past four years alone, she’s flipped more than 300 units, generating over $45 million in revenue. In addition to flipping, Mackaylee currently self-manages around 50 rental units, which bring in roughly $80,000 in monthly rent. She’s also actively overseeing multiple rehab projects at any given time, giving her a hands-on perspective across every side of real estate investing. In this episode, Mackaylee shares her journey into real estate, what it’s really like managing rental properties, and why consistency (and creativity) are essential to long-term success, especially in house flipping. She also breaks down what she’s seeing in the Kansas City rental market, why rental demand is so strong, and the key factors investors should consider when evaluating a property, including curb appeal, market dynamics, and deal strategy. Whether you’re trying to decide between flipping vs renting, learning how to analyze investment properties, or looking for real-world advice on getting started in real estate investing, this episode is packed with practical takeaways you can apply immediately.
