A lot of ultra aggressive investors who want to buy buy buy aren't buying so aggressively now like they have in years past.

I was talking to a RE friend.He said it's a bad time to buy* rates are high* homes are expensive in most marketsLooking to hear some counterpoints. 

I am a long-term investor with a buy and hold property in Brooklyn, NY and I also own multiple lands in Florida and Mississippi.

But consumers all are on the site for free where real estate agents are constantly hawked to buy leads or participate in what is now a 35-40% referral business for unvetted leads who think they are contacting the listing agent.Their business model has always been flawed.

Hello everyone, I'm under contract for my second buy and hold investment.

@Brady Bitter since  you are buying new construction what makes you think you are getting 25% equity.

That will probably be your best bet, to buy a fixer and get it cleaned up and then rent it out.Best wishes and good luck with your endeavors.  

I agree that some of these smaller towns have great buys and strong rents. 

If you plan on buying additional property, you should indeed go on more calls to assess and meet the repair person so that you understand the problems as they arise.  

If you can solve their problem, you can usually buy the house.When you are a new wholesaler, the best thing you can do is to get some reps calling and looking for another wholesaler in the area, before you put your own money down on it.
