As I've observed, after a down period, the market tends to recover and show growth for approximately three years.Timing the market is a skill every real estate investor should develop.

Here’s how I’d move forward:Get a Real Estate JobLook for steady-paying roles like property management, admin work at a real estate office, or project coordinator with a developer.

To overcome these, investors should focus on smaller properties, value-add opportunities, expand into secondary markets, leverage creative financing, partner for scale, monitor development trends, network aggressively, and use market data tools for tailored advice.

I want to expand to doing ten monthly flips with a few developments.

The best way to do this is develop a great working relationship with a real estate agent or escrow officer and they will provide you with reports for free. 

I work as a part-time CFO for several real estate developers like yourself and help them through similar challenging times.

I'm a Fractional CFO for real estate developers across the country and I ran the numbers on this deal and I estimate that if you look to a bank for a DSCR loan, you'll need to put 50% down.

Rochester and Dover are seeing steady appreciation and rental demand thanks to ongoing development and proximity to Portsmouth - hard to find great deals here.

Development and flips work too but I look at that as more of a business.

. - I finance conversions, hence, I represent investors/developers who will purchase if it meets their parameters.
