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. 

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.

Have you ever read Amazon.com reviews and wondered how anyone ever decides which product to buy?

And you can also buy them when they're beaten down and underpriced due to market overreactions like currently, due to rapid rise in US 10yr rate.I've read and watched multiple Good Egg offerings and they are typical of many feeder funds and to be fair like many primary GP/syndicators as well for both taking on unnecessary risks and also charging confiscatory fees, as #1 they have no skin in the game and #2 they get a big cut up front whether project fails or not, find GPs that are investing >10-15% of their own cash into every deal.good luck and sorry this happenedlooks like they are a fund of funds setting up crowdfunding to invest in other offerings.

Our team buys the properties and converts them and manages them so it has been a great learning experience seeing all three phases from taking down a project, renovating the building then managing the lease up.

If you have access to private equity then sure, but if you want to buy properties yourself then at best you are looking at 1-2 per year if you have really good income. 3.

(if the buyer wants a more solid commitment)Once a buyer has spent money they are somewhat vested in buying the property and that gives additional negotiating power to the seller.

This only really matters if you plan to buy a house again soon...within 9-12 months4.

I am a buy and hold investor.

The ability to see the major issues before you buy is key especially when buying dilapidated early 1900's homes.
