@Anne Christensenit's definitely never too late to start to invest but you need to be sure that what you're doing aligns with your goals.BRRRR is an equity play. 

If you want to find those deals yourself thats a lot more time-intensive work.

I reported this to Justin and he tried to play off the issue as if I "wasn't following the process that he teaches" but trust me, I gave him a piece of my mind on that response.

I do realize that doesn't make me a know it all investor as even if I overpaid by 20%+++ in 2014, the REI market would have still treated me kindly.Anyways, I am wondering what your opinions are for getting into REI through Flipping in ATX for 2025 and beyond given the many forces that are at play in ATX including: 1- Interest rate cuts and the expectation that cuts will be a trend in 20252- Even with Interest Rate cuts, will this be enough to get people moving since they may be reluctant to move when they have 3% interest rates on their current home? 

There are definitely a lot of ways to structure a deal, and several abstract factors can come into play.

It’s not because self-management hasn't worked, but rather because I’m looking to free up my time to scale my portfolio further and focus on some other time-intensive projects.If you’re managing from a distance, the key is building a local network you trust—contractors, handymen, leasing agents.

Horrible idea for many reasons...1) Without a decent down payment ~20%, it's very unlikely you'll cashflow after all expenses 2) Sounds like this would be a highly leveraged property - high leverage when rates are high is a dangerous game to play.

And the 24 door funnel plays for all of these roofs and rehabs and the ball just keeps on rolling into one giant snowman.

This is where experience, resources, negotiations skills and understanding the market to know if you have leverage to negotiate will come into play… people that want to sell by themselves are usually people that only sell a home every 5 to 10 years and are the very people that should not be selling on their own… :) but hey….

You'll experience more in a shorter amount of time vs. starting off on your own.Aside from the team, I'd also recommend joining agent communities especially those that have virtual meetings to role play, accountability, discuss marketing tips, etc.
