Builders typically are NOT long term buy and hold investors.they build they sell they take their profit and do another new build, rinse and repeat.There’s still a delta between seller ask and buyer expectations on existing property which makes sense.

It isn't typically automatically released like it is in other states.In parts of the Bay Area, people are coming in over asking with no contingencies, unfortunately that is becoming common.

I'm curious about how you analyze and wholesale properties that make sense for rentals.

If real estate is just a side gig and finding deals is tough right now, it might make sense to hold onto cash and wait for a better buying opportunities.2.

A great way to network and meet people in your local community is to attend in person meet ups.

I agree on all the points you’ve shared and definitely use them for my research.One question I wondered about was if people care about political affiliations (red/blue area).

The pickleball court would be the lowest cost but on a hot day people want a nice pool.

When i listed this property, it appears it was a big issue to a lot of people.

Ok that makes sense.. 

You’ll want to have your numbers in order—this means understanding how much the property could sell for, what repairs might be needed, and what kind of offer makes sense for you.When you do contact the homeowner, be upfront and personable.
