I'd focus on the big 3: housing, auto, and food. 

I’d say you’re getting more attention than their possible reward deserves.  

Food assistance ,SNAP, will not be paid on 10/1.  

I've always realized how real estate can change your life, now I am committing myself to the challenges and rewards.

Yet your contractor will just ignore it and not even put it in budget and it will come up later.When I weigh the risk and rewards of flipping right now, it's not even close. 

What I’ve been hearing from a few banks is:They want to see repeatability before they reward flexibility.I’m curious how that looked in real life for operators here who’ve made that leap.Did you find it was more:Assets under your belt?

-Inflation: Creeping toward 3%, with risks from inventory exhaustion, tariffs, rising food/energy costs (e.g., AI infrastructure demands), partially offset by declining oil/natural gas prices.

Slower markets tend to reward patience and skill over speed.

So this takes someone like us with the knowledge of development and someone like my client uber knowledgable and since this is all risk money the rewards are HUGE for him and quite good for us. 

Many renters will be in a similar situation at the moment, including those who may have to choose between food and rent due to SNAP benefits being frozen.
