Biggest challenges are finding deals and keeping rehab costs under control. As Evan stated, costs for labor (AND materials) have skyrocketed and although I have my own GC company (as well as HVAC), the material costs (and availability) are well out of my control which makes managing the project much more difficult than during pre covid days.

With a recession looming (some say we are already in one) and interest rates on the rise, finding a deal that pencils out is getting even more difficult. This begs the question, is it necessary to fully switch gears and go down a different real estate strategy like buying apartments or self storage or keep trying to find deals to flip? NOt easy to answer and one answer is not right for all - only you can make that call.
