@Chander SriAustin (and surrounding area) is in a correction, but has good long term fundamentals, so keeping it as a rental could end up making you a lot of money, it just might take a few(5-7) years. 

Even though I believe I purchased based on strong fundamentals and vision, I also have flipped a few as an investor and sweat equity labor for my dad growing up. 

There are thousands of time shares for sale on the net and vacations can be had for pennies on the dollar.I think we sold his time share on a web site selling them for about $20.

Thanks, Savannah.I appreciate the offer and will definitely use it as I work my way through the information and calculators on the BP web site.

I think it is, but it is not the same BRRRR method investors are used to.The Changing Real Estate LandscapeThe real estate market has fundamentally shifted since the period from 2017-2020, which was marked by relative stability in terms of interest rates, demand, and supply.

@Adam Peralto More & more owners are posting here on BP about their rentals sitting vacant too long.Which means owners aren't paying attention to the rental market - which is slowing, causing Days On Market (DOM) to increase:(Take a look at the graph below from ShowMojo, comparing average DOM for 2018-2024.DOM are now about 40% longer than they were 2 years ago.Many owners also don't seem to be aware of real estate market fundamentals, such as seasonal effects:1) After September, when kids go back to school, there's a noticeable dip in activity in both the sales & rentals.2) After Halloween, there's another noticeable dip.

My advice: focus on building a strong financial foundation first save consistently, manage your credit, and educate yourself on real estate fundamentals.

People just need to understand fundamentals that underpin any type of investment.

Check the state regulatory agency's web site.

I buy and sell 100+ properties per year in Cleveland, Ohio and fundamentally the deals are found through cold calling.
