Super frustrating to have wasted so much time and energy with them.  

The rehab lender had super easy underwriting….very little documentation requests….all the things most look for.

Then we had people with FOMO still buying at high interest rates at super high prices through 2023.  

I first learned about it in 1996 from a guy who was super smart with a ton of hustle, but he never made a dime.

Hey guys, I needed some advice on new construction here in NJ.Me & my wife want to purchase a second home as our primary home but prices on houses are super over priced and just not worth it especially with inventory being so low & the market just all twisted.My thought was to maybe pick the town I want to live in and potentially see if I can get vacant land to build on obviously.I wonder if maybe it will cheaper to do this strategy instead of getting a loan for 600-700K home that still needs work and I’m not happy about it..thoughts?

I am in a similar situation without the super early retirement of 20yrs service, done by 40.

It's super stupid, I know. 

Hey Titus, totally can relate with you being from an expensive real estate market - I moved to Columbus a few years ago (from Portland, Oregon which was super expensive) to become a full time real estate investor, and ever since, I've completed quite a lot of BRRRRs, flips, and own a successful rental portfolio here in Columbus Ohio.

Super helpful, thank you.  

Super high prices, but rents haven't kept up.
