Quote from @Quinzel Waiters: Hello all I'm new to the Real estate space but I'm working on getting my first off market dealCurrently I'm looking at a heavily distressed property that's priced too high.

I've been in real estate for 18 years, am a licensed Realtor and have owned several rental and flip properties in Texas & Hawaii.

Hi everyone, I've been involved in investment real estate and am transitioning into raising capital for real estate funds.

My team and I have witnessed an overall softening in the rental real estate market.  

This is what I have so far I plan on posting this to our local real estate investment groups and also on Facebook marketplace in my area.

Here are some key highlights from the report, which compares January 2025 with January 2024:The median sales price for the greater Austin metro fell 4.7% to $409,765, while the City of Austin saw a 4.7% increase to $553,465.Total sales in the metro rose 1.1%, whereas the city saw a 4% decrease in closed sales, demonstrating continued demand in spite of economic challenges.Pending sales under contract dropped 7.5% in the metro and 1.4% in the City of Austin, suggesting a slight decrease in demand at the start of 2025.Listing inventory increased 16.5% in the metro and 15.5% in the City of Austin, resulting in 5.6 months of available housing inventory in the metro and 6.2 months in the city, approximately one month more than in January 2024.According to the Texas A&M Real Estate Center, a balanced real estate market has around 6.5 months of inventory.

I'll PM you an agent recommendation.

When I say education, I mean real education (not formal or higher education) but more like hands on business experience, sales, marketing, or agriculture as you mentioned. 

With all the negative comments and concerns over the houses not being completed per the contract dates, perhaps all the investors should speak to a local real estate attorney and see if they can get their money back or other concessions.
