Not sustainably.Agents spend too much energy trying to predict what’s coming next —rates, inventory, buyer sentiment, seasonal shifts.But here’s the truth:The only market you can win in is the one you’re standing in.What worked last year may not work today.What might work six months from now is guesswork at best.You can’t build a business on forecasts and “maybes.”Top agents succeed because they focus on the present:• the buyers who are active now• the sellers who need solutions now• the strategies that work right now• the opportunities in front of them todayReal estate is not about calling the future.It’s about taking action in the present.No need to try and time the market.Start learning how to work WITH it.

Definitely agree that this region is under-served on BiggerPockets — happy to explore how local permitting and engineering factors could support additional pipeline deals here. lets hop on the phone and chat later this week I am in the mountains of Utah fishing right now.. later this week will work though

Clearly a major structural issue will probably need the advice of a structural engineer and like what was said above that might be your best route. 

If I really wanted the house I'd bring my own structural foundation expert (doesn't have to necessarily be an engineer) to look at it and give me a verdict.

Quote from @Shuchi Gupta: Hi BP community,Looking for real-world experience from multifamily owners or investors who’ve done a panel upgrade.I have an 8-unit building in Santa Clara, CA, and I’ve received 3 quotes to replace the main service panel & meter bank (9 meters total, including common laundry).What differs across the bids:600A Eaton meter bank Square D panel but amp size not specifiedOne bid includes the laundry subpanelSome bids don't include permit/engineering/stucco patchingPrices range from $19K to $38K some not including permit fees.Current setup:1960s buildingGas water heatersShared laundryUpgraded kitchen appliances over timeAll tenants have window AC units, No EV chargers yetQuestions:Did you go 250A or 600A on your small multifamily upgrade?

For this reason, finding someone who possesses an engineer's mind and loves to work with numbers can significantly contribute to the team's success.When building our team, I seek individuals who are passionate about underwriting and possess the necessary creative abilities.

I’m an engineer by trade, live in California so I know that will be a challenge.

This, then, is our Engine: Depreciation, Debt and Deferral.And how long can you defer tax?

I am a young electrical engineer that is excited to start investing into real estate.
