Outrageous materials prices
I just watched a video of how this is NOT the time to flip houses.
A 2x4 is at $6
Osb plywood is at $22 from $8
Contractors are hard to find right now.
Elections coming up, we have no idea what’s going to go on with the economy.
I do agree with these points, but would they prevent you from buying and flipping right now?
