I'm seeing national averages for cap rates over the past decade that don't exceed 6%. 

Hello Bigger Pockets,I've been in construction for a little under a decade now, and I know what it takes to build a house from the ground up.

I decided to change career after having worked with films for more than a decade - and I have always had an interest in real estate.

Quote from @Piper Pepperidge: Looking to do my first flip, was originally looking at baltimore, but it looks like it's moving towards a buyer's market and inventory is very high so I'm looking for other hot neighbors with low inventory.ThanksHottest markets are inner ring dc suburbs, moco, nova, even Howard and Frederick, I can tell though if you are a 1st time flipper you will lose money, I’ve been doing this for nearly a decade and I cannot hit my numbers, I met with a flipper a few weeks doing 12 a month, has his own crews, buys off market, literally a full time business, even he is struggling , it’s a bad time to flip right now tbh. 

I've been involved on this forum for close to a decade now. 

I've wasted decades being an employee, and I'm ready to get out of the rat race and start investing to provide homes, jobs and communities!

Although my cost of capital was cheap (2.5% 30yr fixed), the increased STR supply resulted in a more hands-on approach by me (better marketing, improving the quality of my check-in hose, services, etc) and this wasn't turning out to be as 'passive' as I would have liked (I've been managing my own LTRs for close to a decade, so perhaps I'm spoiled).

Recent decades have seen Austin’s skyline, business environment and population redefined.

Hi everyoneWow, it's been over a decade since I was on BP, nice to be back.My business partner and I have a fairly large portfolio of SFH's that we purchased as rehab projects using hard money. 

But you want to keep going for a couple decades, and mention interest rates.
