    Hi Forumites

    I'm after some advice to see what is involved in setting up an entity that flips for profit. I've done a couple of projects in the last 10 years (buying OTP, build new and reno) but I'm thinking it's time to cash out of our current situation and jump into flipping property full time together (hubs and myself).

    So many questions, but I'll start with the first:

    is it better to hold the PPOR or cash out to begin? PPOR is a 3/4 acre block so not necessarily suitable as rental...

    Your advice is appreciated!

    I think it is important to have a main residence as it is the only major tax free asset you can have.

    Definitely factor in entry and exit costs (including capital gains). Hard to do, but if done right can be rewarding
