Not surprised.I had a listing on Landing, which I recently told them to remove after they informed me there was now a $2500 (approximate) fee for cancellation of any booking reservations. 

Build a portfolio by establishing a reserve fund, leveraging equity, and networking with investors.Good luck!

I would say this was the least organized BPCon (no cevent App, poor email distribution, my workshop that was $300 had about 20% attendance rate) I have been to, with the worse room problems (both ac and hot water problems in my room), and the hurricane issue (they cancelled the meal but many of the restaurants required reservations that we did not make because we were expecting the meal), and in my opinion worse keynote speakers even when one was a repeat (I like David Greene keynotes, but …), I enjoyed this BPCon more than the others I attended. 

I would say having cash reserves when buying a place, especially for less than 20% down is huge. 

Focus on maintaining good credit and building cash reserves to qualify for better loans and manage expenses.

Keeping an eye on Federal Reserve policy and mortgage rate trends is crucial to timing your investment and budgeting accordingly.2.

I would also have cash reserves if you do this, don't rely solely on a HELOC on the rehab.

The U.S. economy added more jobs than expected, which signals robust economic activity and pressures the Federal Reserve to maintain higher interest rates to combat inflation.

If you have a  solid reserve and lose  a bit of money (like about 2000)  still it would be worth to get the experience and  network with first flip.. or first flip see if you can do a  joint venture with a successful and very experienced investor or flipper

Typically speaking, 20-25% down would require at least $2.6 million for the down payment + closing costs and reserves.
