You’re trying to ruin the biggest benefit of the life in flip. 

(aka the BRRR method).But, if you stay on the sidelines, acting fearful and not greedy, you will reap the benefits of neither.Again I do think we see an early pullback in 2025, in the first 100 days.

My goal is to offer an affordable monthly payment that competes with renting a comparable property and offers a benefit to paying a bit more to "own". 

In short, I can afford the additional $1100/mo cost of a second house, even until I rent it out.I have around $35K in HYSA and emergency funds that I could use for a down payment, but that's less than 20% which would be required for a conventional loan, assuming full purchase price.

Moderator, we have no financial relationship with any guru :B ] after we canceled promptly there were no additional billings either time.

Also, I have heard about the benefits of having an LLC set up to manage rental properties but not sure if this is advisable at my stage (e.g., not a lot of properties to manage).

That’s why I try so hard to explain to people I meet every day the benefits.

Feel free to private message me with any additional questions.

Additionally, agencies can shut down on you in a heartbeat.

Additionally, you can still find deals that will cash flow and hit the 1% rule and amazing appreciation potential.
