Once you have a niche (this can change), start finding and analyzing deals in it.

As to others points rents will change with supply conditions.

Are they still buying properties themselves, it keeps them aware of the market and changes 2.

@Ryan Cousins not sure if you are still looking or not but the market has changed from where it was 7 months ago. 

This will change after the first of the year to a 30 year, 3 year balloon….620 Fico Score and 50% DTI ratio.   

That must be frustrating.How about price, is it still the 2020 price, or were there a lot of change orders and price increases as well?

That all is changing now, ever since Hilco Redevelopment Partners purchased the property in 2020, and received concept and development site plan approvals in 2022 and 2023.

While this isn't a hard and fast rule, more often then not, these are the guys that can't manage their schedules well, and will be gung-ho on your job for a couple weeks, then be flaking out as they picked up too much work and are trying to keep too many homeowners happy.And lastly, the more detail you have the better the bid will be with few change orders.  

I typically log in once a week to check pricing, make changes as needed.

Change the numbers.
