No population growth, no economic surge and rents have stayed flat.

What concerns me is any lien that would prevent me from refinancing the property.Thanks,Matt Make sure the mutually agreed contract is compliant with DPBR, some states are very specific regarding flat rate vs T&M contracts.

In the past, I have raised $100,000+ for each one of my projects, but all on equity partnerships or by giving the investors a flat fee on the deal.

They charged a flat fee of $35. 

1st of all corporations own less than 2% of single family homes, they have actually reduced thier share of buying recently, now investors continue to buy up properties, it’s just more mom & pop types, all that said the housing market is in an extremely strange place, I could make strong arguments for prices pulling back, reaccelarting, or being basically flat, the biggest thing I’d advise is looking at you payment, comparing that to what would pay in rent, figuring out how long you plan to be the house and making an decision based on that, generally in that under 400k price point, breakeven for buying a property seems to about 3-5 years if you plan to stay in the house longer than that, bite the bullet & buy, if not rent.  

And fast.You are flat out being misled if you do not think there is any risk associated with investing in real estate.Like any investment, real estate can go up or down.

The Fed's intervention, through increased interest rates, is intended to curb this excessive growth and bring the market back to more realistic levels.It's important to understand that a correction is a natural part of economic cycles and does not necessarily signal a crisis.

You know it’s funny back when I was flipping in dc pre covid, I was always amazed at the prices and in the back of my head was like I cannot believe people are paying 800-1 million to be in a tiny rowhome in a frankly pretty rough area, now of course everyone who didn’t grow up here throught it was just was the way it was, but growing up here I tried to explain to everyone just how bizzare it was that the city was so much more than then the burbs, (from 06 on there were entire areas that went up fourfold, where as the burbs were kind of flat for a decade) I won’t say I saw dc’s crash coming but it seemed so unnatural to me having grown up in the area, I also don’t think we’ve seen close to the bottom as far as urban real estate, as you said you can still trade a house in the city for one in the burbs but really given how urban living is + remote works, cities should be significantly less than an equivalent burb.
