Is it too risky to start now?

[Zach Ataiyan]

I'm new to BP and very excited about the thought of investing in real estate. But I question if it is wise to enter the market right now when so many people are looking to buy personal homes. I'm interested in rental properties and BRRRR investing but not sure if it's wise at this point to jump in with such a competitive market. Perhaps flipping is a better move (something I am also comfortable with, just have a full time job). Any other viewpoints?
