It has gotten harder as housing values have fully recovered from the 2008-2010 real estate crash.

You don't need to make all your money on your first deal, but if you crash and burn on the first there will be no second deal!

It has been suggested to me that I should wait until after the election because of a crash that is supposedly coming.

Its crashing down here and getting worse. 

I can give you a crash course in them anytime. 

When the World Trade Center was crashed into, the owner collected double on the insurance policy but then had to give half of it back.  

I remember me saying on here somewhere in a post many years ago that cycles can be a game of musical chairs when no more spots the investors crash.

But lots of people are just looking for a place to crash and don't care about that, at least until they get there and find out the place is a dump. 

we already have manpower issues at these numbers.I suspect it won't do much more than crowd out private investment given private developers are already building houses at almost the highest rate since the 2008 crash. 

Started buying right after the crash when the numbers just seemed too silly not to buy and then stopped buying and started selling right when covid hit.A few years before covid i was doing land flipping on a national basis and that was doing ok too.
