I’ve found that connecting with local investors really helps cut through the noise and get a feel for which neighborhoods are actually worth the rehab effort.

Laser focus and pass your test.

Some analysts are forecasting a 100% chance of a September rate cut - and although the immediate impact on mortgage rates might be muted, the writing is on the wall. 

Mortgage bonds are rallying in tandem, with UMBS 6s up 8 ticks, trading in the mid-102s, and 5.5s gaining traction as the new current coupon.Fed Funds futures now reflect a near-certainty of a rate cut at the November or December FOMC meetings, with some strategists even floating the possibility of a half-point cut if labor softness deepens.

They have a coaching program where they teach you how to wholesale step-by-step and will even help you close deals (for a cut of the profit of course).

What’s been working for me and my circle lately:Seller financing: solve the seller’s problem first; short-term interest-only with a balloon after value-add keeps cash flow strong.Sub-to/wraps: take over low-rate loans and keep the seller whole—huge when DSCR is tight.Hybrid: small seller carry + private second to cut cash in, then refi into DSCR once stable.Private money: secure with note + mortgage/deed, pay on milestones, send updates—consistency = repeat capital.HELOC/LOC stack: close fast, cover rehab, then refi—speed wins deals.Lease-option: control now, improve, then exercise once financing improves.

Do you think some investors cut deals too early that could’ve been winners with creativity?

Any insights on how to make that “final cut” in choosing towns would be a huge help.Thanks in advance!

We’re working on boosting our income and cutting expenses, but I also want to make sure we’re getting the most out of what we’ve got.I’ve looked at BRRRR, but we are looking to buy in a fairly expensive market (Northern MA / Southern NH) and it seems tough to pull that off with $250K.

If he cuts it too low, well he won't be operating for long.
