Wrong Time for New Investors or Just have to work harder?

[Account Closed]

I'm just curious as to opinions/feedback from investors with any experience in Real Estate Investing whether it is a great deal of experience or a very minimal. Would any of you say this is the wrong time for a new investor to get in to this business since it seems like this is what everyone is doing (especially in the DFW area), I mean there are investors paying all cash for houses now whether they are flipping or buying and holding. Even investors I know personally or friends of mine that are looking for houses to call home or to invest in they are being out bid by thousands of dollars. Or would you say that new investors have just have to work that much harder to get started? Please elaborate on your response as to why you feel the way you feel about the question any feed back is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance BP
