"The market is to competitive"
I know that it can be discouraging living in this market and feeling like you can never find a deal. A guy I used to work with when I was doing construction for HGTV told me, "Don't invest here because it's to difficult." Low and behold, my first flip (as an owner/builder) is going to be listed in a couple weeks and it was a home run. Deals are out there! Build your team, keep working hard and it will pay off!

I grew up In the neighborhood and knew that the house was in “hoarder” condition with serious deferred maintenance. Heard the grapevine the owner had unfortunately passed away and was able to buy directly from the family without agents.
