When I talk with investors who are actively flipping, some are finding deals that work really well, while others are passing on properties that would've looked attractive a year or two ago.
And it's not always the purchase price.
Sometimes it's the rehab budget, the ARV, or simply how much cash they need to bring to closing.
What interests me is how differently experienced investors approach the same market. Some are getting more selective, while others are finding ways to structure deals that still make sense.
For those actively flipping in 2026, what's been the biggest challenge in getting a deal to pencil out?
Finding the right purchase price, keeping rehab costs under control, or getting financing that makes the numbers work?
Also curious what markets you're seeing the best opportunities in right now.
