See the full plan →The trade-off
A solo real estate agent lives on commission (2.5%-3% per side) and referral pipeline. House flipping needs capital, contractor management, and market-timing luck — but a single successful flip can dwarf a full year of agent commissions. Agent is slow-compound; flipping is high-variance.
