After 40+ years in real estate sales, management, and investing, I advise someone in your situation to cultivate your patience.No market moves in a straight line--they move in cycles. 

Not too bad when the inventory is low, the number of sales is low (like a 30 year low), interest rates are high and prices are high. 

They get the sale and its not any harder than finding a home for a retail buyer. 

Currently own three properties but looking to make my first sale.

Don't go for the cheapest (unless the price is lower because it is on sale), but also don't go for the most expensive. 

Purchase price: $55,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Sale price: $119,000 Bought at around $50kFixed up at around $20kSold at $120k What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

A lot of your returns come at the time of sale. 

It's a narrative that's pushed through social media, sales brokers, turn key operators etc.

 @Deepak Malhotra based on your sales price, I assume this was also sold many years ago.

So, winters are the traditional slow times for sales & rentals.
