Welcome to the community

We will be leveraging the proceeds to jump in, but this time with a strategy that aligns to our vision.

Does that make sense? 

I do realize that doesn't make me a know it all investor as even if I overpaid by 20%+++ in 2014, the REI market would have still treated me kindly.Anyways, I am wondering what your opinions are for getting into REI through Flipping in ATX for 2025 and beyond given the many forces that are at play in ATX including: 1- Interest rate cuts and the expectation that cuts will be a trend in 20252- Even with Interest Rate cuts, will this be enough to get people moving since they may be reluctant to move when they have 3% interest rates on their current home? 

Quote from @Stephanie Lopez: I have been listening to different podcasts and some mention that high-end competitive markets like Orange County, California could make it difficult to start an investing business.

Investing in real estate is not rocket science, even though the gurus want you to believe them.

Typically, you can expect to make a down payment of between 15% and 25% of the purchase price.

So I guess overall, my question is can you help me align my expectations with what I am finding, is this a case of "yeah, the market is weird right now, this is typical, you have to make a decision" or...

We are really moving and shaking these days.
