@Jake Baker Love the approach of measuring the total offers that you send, if you know your strategy most of the time it is a numbers game no matter the condition of the market. 

Hey @Josh Bowser thanks for sharing your thoughts! the trend that you are seeing in your market I think is more nationwide and you are absolutely right about building relationships with agents and wholesalers to have a good dealflow. 

Hey @Guillermo Perez A great deal! Love the way you did it, Houston is a great market with a lot of opportunities and it is great to hear that you were able to do good. 

The real estate market has shifted dramatically in recent years rising interest rates, evolving buyer and seller expectations, and fluctuating property values are keeping all of us on our toes. For fix-and-flip pros, BRRRR enthusiasts, and wholesalers alike, the landscape looks different than it did just a couple of years ago.

For flippers: What’s your approach to finding end buyers in this market?

For BRRRR investors: Are you rethinking cash-out refi strategies or exploring alternative rent models to make deals work?

For wholesalers: How are you adapting to buyer preferences or creating irresistible deals despite tighter margins?

Personally, I’ve been looking for ways to align creativity with the numbers, whether that’s finding undervalued properties, building relationships with local agents, or pivoting to new strategies. But I know there’s so much to learn from the collective wisdom of this community.

Let’s share some insights:

What’s been your most successful recent deal, and why?

What’s a key mistake you’ve learned from that could help others?

What tools or strategies are you using to stay ahead of the game?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts Let’s make 2025 the year we all adapt and thrive in this ever changing market!

@Peter Mckernan Love the way you did that deal and agree that those deals exist both on market and off market you just have to be able to look for them in an effective way and add creativity. 

Hey @Kerry Noble Jr Couldn't agree more with that point! if you know your stuff and know how to deliver a message and network by being consistent enough you will always close deals! 

 @Jake Baker Love that strategy by being to attract tenants with affordability and getting the stable monthly cash flow compared to weekly rentals which may have a higher profit but a much higher risk making them not really viable in today's market. 

Hey @Ryan Irwin 

thanks for the reply, would love to know how this deal plays out in your local market. You are right about the risk that comes with the holding period but in my opinion sometimes you have to take the risk and make sure the profit that you generate is higher than the costs that you paid by holding the deal for a specific amount of time. Love to know what do you think. 

Hey Peter, thanks for the comment and the insight and you are absolutely correct about knowing what sells in your market, I see this happen with a lot of fix and flip projects that are just in the wrong areas, the investor gets the house for a good price however spends too much on repairs and adds a lot of luxury thinking that it will push the ARV significantly higher than the average in the area. This is exactly why you have to know what sells, Great point!
