Price appreciation has stalled, is flipping dead?

[Account Closed]

I noticed in Utah that house price appreciation stop about last July. I think it's time to stop flipping, it's too dangerous now because margins are slimmer and worse, you might get stuck at a market peak. What do you guys think?

In a flat market, this is where the true flippers shine and the amateurs get exposed.  The appreciation in the market hides flippers mistakes.  A declining market depending on the speed and strength would not be healthy for flippers. The last thing you want is to be overexposed and bag holding.
