And right now, doing nothing means you are losing 7% of your money every year because of the inflation rate.  

I don’t know about you but lately the “deals” I have received from “wholesalers” don’t quite qualify as anything close to a deal.Yes, I do understand the inflated market conditions and also somewhat higher rents that we are seeing at this time.

Wholesaler is listing as fix and flip with what I believe to be inflated ARV however properties appear to need very little work.

I’m 19 years old, based out of the Tampa, Florida which currently has a very crazy market due to inflation and numerous other variables.

We also live 45 miles away from the property, so I had to make something like 25 separate trips to the house - I ended up taking an inflatable mattress to the house and staying there for a few weeks to speed the process up and stop all the driving back and forth. 

You are still borrowing BELOW the current rate of inflation - lots of reasons to do that.It's just like if you were a business owner - hiring a new employee is an expense.  

Inflation is at 7%.

Only thing I see is flipping, and parking money to fight inflation.

However, I have a lot of confidence 15 years from now the price of San Diego RE will be higher priced than today even accounting for inflation. 

You are going to see higher rates due to the artificially inflated real estate market that stemmed from COVID.
