I picked Las Vegas because it’s close to me and California is out of reach. I see lots of properties on the market but almost none of them makes the .5% let alone 1% rules, so why would any investor buy them? In most ...

I know it seems like a tough task, but can you spend a few more months or a year while you continue to learn to really tighten the budget or find ways to earn a little extra to start from a stronger position?

We appreciate the positivity on our first flip win from you and Jonathan. :-)

Would love anyone who has had experience with any of these to give some feedback on pros/cons.

It might be one of those positive sunk costs to increase the value when financing.

James, thank you for your feedback.

I can definitely tell you there's still a lot of positive cash flowing and 1% rule deals and you get amazing appreciation.

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

We're still seeing deals here that have positive cash flow and appreciation potential.

I personally don't quite see any of these positions being completely eliminated due to AI, at least not in the forseeable future.
