Just be careful because you will be buying with 100% financing in a peak market.

We may have had people speed up their timetable for buying a home when rates were so low thus inflating current buyers at the expense of future buyers but this will be temporary.

It looks like it's gone down 10% over the last couple months since the peak.

You're looking for 100% financing in a peak market.

I've gone into this not expecting to be cash flow positive as we'll of course want to use it during peak times and with the high property management fees.

As a beginner, I would avoid too much leverage, particularly in a peak market where things are more likely to go down than they are to go up.

Networking and talking about what you’re looking for  That's been the strategy so far, but I'd like to speed up the process and network more than I am so figured I'd post something here and see what I get!

Some indicators of a peak or future slowdown are things like everyone getting their real estate license, everyone getting in STRs the last few years, crypto trading, etc.

YouTuber Travis Spencer recently published this video: Housing Crash definitionIn this video, Travis starts off by defining a Housing Crash.Travis defines a housing crash as a 15 percent loss in value since its peak during the same year.OvervaluationTravis attributes employment, and institutional real estate investing as the main drivers for Austin's real estate market overvaluation.

Some are "fearful" because the market is at a peak, people have been making emotional, financially unsound decisions over the past two years, and it doesn't seem like a good time to invest.
