Right now they're drying up....everyone is trying to get shortsales and they go quickly if the property is in good shape.  

I am interested to hear people's ideas on the environment for flippers going forward as the deals are "drying up" as they say.

I am from Texas and several years ago I wanted to move away from the hot, dry summers and try to clear up allergies. 

Buyers dry upYOU ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR BUYERS DATABASE!!!!

Many have no idea of what they are doing, but because they never got thier tails sued off they think thier way is best, you need to be able to spot them before getting involved.Learn RE financing, it's almost as dry as insurance.

I had heard the trucks go by several times but didn't think it would be dry pavement.

Inventory is drying up.

This should help protect your original investments.Builders typically have problems when leveraged and buyers dry up for a stretch of time and they don't have reserves to deal with the outflow.The question for you is not so much that you have a couple of not so great investments, it has more to do with how you are doing financially in other areas of your existence.

LOLI appraised a home one time that had so much dog and cat hair on the carpet that they would have had to rake the floor before sweeping.

At first, the price tag of the new build blew my mind but once I started running the numbers, renting out part of it would cut my mortgage to close to what I am paying now.TL;DR, I don't know if I will have enough time to renovate a multifamily home, function as a landlord for multiple units and reap the benefits of cash flow.
