Quote from @Yvette Weir: Hi Everyone: My journey has been at least ten years in the making of wanting to become an investor, but not ever finding the support or guts to start on my own.

People keep asking if mortgage rates could ever drop to something wild like 1% to 2%.

I was one of 3 named architects on a subsystem on the 2nd most complex jet ever.  

I don’t think I’ve ever had a buyer offer close to 80%, much less 90 or 100%. 

you would never, ever buy a specific property because it met a "rule." 

This is just national numbers.This slowdown reflects a meaningful shift in market dynamics: elevated mortgage rates, detached pricing expectations, and diminished buyer urgency are contributing to substantially slower cycles.For real estate professionals, builders, and investors, this could signal opportunities to recalibrate pricing strategies, marketing approaches, and sales timelines to align with evolving buyer behaviors.The best buying behavior to be apart of is the investor network.For the simple reason that they will continue to buy with no emotional escrow.They don't go by trends, just if the numbers work for today.That's what I love about seeing with Featured Agents on BiggerPockets.They get to tap into the network of BiggerPockets clients right when they are ready to buy...or looking for an agent today to help them acquire more.Here we are, it's going to be Autumn soon.

They bring together investors and properties, creating a love story that can lead to a happily ever after...And by happily ever after, I mean profit.I believe in taking the time to know brokers personally, beyond just a professional connection.

Do the hosts ever come at it from that angle? 

In the fast-paced world of real estate and sales, lead generation is more competitive than ever.

That unit has been sitting on the market ever sense.
