Remember, both strategies have their merits - it's all about finding the approach that works best for you.

Each approach caters to different objectives and requires different resources.

Less Competition - High-interest rates and market uncertainty may deter some flippers, reducing competition for distressed propertiesMarket Demand - In some areas, there remains strong demand for renovated, move-in-ready homes.Price Negotiation - Sellers of distressed properties may be more willing to negotiate in a high-interest rate environment.Cons:High Carrying Costs - High-interest rates increase the cost of borrowing, which raises your holding costs (interest payments, taxes, insurance, utilities).Market Volatility - Real estate markets can be unpredictable, and high-interest rates may lead to slower home sales and declining prices in some areas.Renovation Risks - Unexpected renovation costs and delays are common risks in any market, and high-interest rates exacerbate the financial impact of these issues.Financing Challenges - Securing financing for both the purchase and renovation can be more difficult and expensive in a high-interest rate environment.Mitigation Strategies:Thorough Market ResearchAccurate BudgetingEfficient Project ManagementFlexible FinancingExit StrategyFixing and flipping properties in today's market can still be profitable if approached with caution and thorough preparation.

Unlike, an independent GC, who undertakes a broader array of projects, Curbio’s project experience will be more uniform and consistent over time (e.g. focusing on a core set of projects, with similarly attractive traits: impactful; reduced complexity; reliable sourcing; etc.).The “as-is” investor approach that you describe should work, as you would have all of the criteria necessary to be deemed a “qualified-prospect” for Curbio, e.g.: sufficient equity to cover a min $15K budget and ample up-side potential to deliver a sufficient positive ROI.
