It will get tougher as we roll into 2025 to land a good deal in a market with lower rates and triple the buyers.I do agree though apples and oranges from a typical angle if had only been .25% and if the 10 Year was still above 4.25% but it allows for MBS to open margins on primary homes, FHA/Ginne Mae yield are highest of 2024.

Once you are able to increase your margins, I would try to pay down the mortgage as quickly as possible using whatever extra cash flow you can generate.

After negotiating, we secured the property for $135,000, which was below market value, ensuring a strong margin for resale.

Don’t get me wrong, I would love to own a property there but the margin is looking extremely thin now.

It has done well, but worse than every other property in my portfolio and by a wide margin.  

In my opinion, no matter what your margins are.

I am confident in handling the construction as I have experienceWhat really matters to me is that are there margins in this market to make money from scratch up?

I have flipped four houses to date and typically look for properties that guarantee a healthy margin.

In business it's all about margins × volume.

@Bruce WoodruffI was about to tell this guy to stay away from REI if he has a business making that type of revenue, unless his margins are ZERO.But looks like you beat me to it, and he is radio silent.Keeps the Forum entertaining, I guess...
