Survey: Most California Investors Opting to Hold Rather than Flip


By: Esther Cho, DSNews.com

A survey from the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) revealed preferences and strategies of a typical California investor.

For the most part, investors in the Golden State plan to keep their purchase for at least a year.

According to the survey, 26 percent of investors who worked with Realtors over the last 12 months before April 2013 said they intend to flip the property within a year, while 66 percent plan to keep the property for more than a year as a rental. However, three-fourths of investors plan on retaining their property for less than six years.

About 75 percent of investors were in the “mom-and-pop” category, meaning they own one to 10 properties, while just 6.6 percent of investors own 11 to 20 properties, and 4.8 percent have 50 to 100 properties.
