Since most flips fail these days and many rely on their charts, slides and software analysis, it should be a signal that it's not some phenomenon to guarantee success.

Here are the key themes I'm seeing get set up for 2025: Interest Rates Will be Holding Steady or going up: The yield curve (finally) uninverted this week, when the Fed signalled they will be more cautious about raising rates.

Over the last few weeks, Fed board members have been signaling that a cut is in the making.

This signals that this is my final offer.Focus on win-win solutions. 

When you’re done, think about final touches that signal quality: well-placed mudrooms, logical spots for washer/dryer units (maybe near bedrooms for convenience), and closets that don’t feel like afterthoughts.The biggest hurdles I’ve seen often come down to hitting that sweet spot between cost and perceived value.

By saying that you want to sell in Costa Rica to reinvest in the US, you are signaling that investing in the US is more profitable than in Costa Rica.

Quote from @Lolo Druff: Just like turn signals, you should always trust, but verify that the seller is telling the truth.Your offer to purchase should include a requirement that the Seller provide all documentation and agree to sign an estoppel certificate (also called an estoppel form or agreement).

A rate cut in September is more symbolic and a signal to markets that the Fed is cautiously optimistic that they've tamed inflation than actual dovish Fed Policy. 

Aside from the financial resources, I suppose one skill is I write algorithms to distill signal from bulk data for a living, so if there are any other programmers out there please reach out!

How do you balance these strategies, and what signals do you look for in deciding to hold or flip a property?
