Your offer strategy is fine, but you don’t need the offer drafted beforehand.Walk the open house, confirm the major systems, then submit the offer the same day with a tight inspection contingency.Speed matters, but drafting an offer early doesn’t give you an edge in CA.

Hi everyone,With reports suggesting 2025 could be one of the slowest years for U.S. home sales in history, I’m curious how active investors are adapting.Some approaches I’ve been noticing:Shifting focus from flips to long-term rentalsTargeting deeper discounts or off-market dealsHolding properties longer than originally plannedUsing creative financing options to close dealsI’d love to hear from seasoned investors: What strategies are you using right now to navigate this unusual market?

Sounds like you’ve already built a solid foundation and now you’re just looking to take it to the next level with more strategy and structure.

There's no "norm" in any strategy.
