Most people find leads but totally blow the follow-up.

On flip deals, the rehab delays get all the attention, but the timelines I see blow up are usually tied to valuation coming in light, draw inspections and paperwork getting slow, and title or insurance items showing up late when everyone thinks you are already clear to close.

This is blowing everyone's margins out of the water due to long DOM.

In December alone, 40,000 U.S. home purchases fell apart.That’s 16.31% of all homes under contract, the highest cancellation rate ever recorded.Why deals are blowing up:Appraisals are coming in lowSellers are still anchored to 2022 pricingIt’s often cheaper to rent than to buyThe buyer walks.The seller is stunned.And suddenly they’re an 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑑, dreading the prospect of tenants and toilets, holding a property they didn’t plan to keep.That's an overlooked opportunity.

that is totally unrealistic return.. your going to blow your 15k and be very dissappointed why would they give you 50k profit deals just to sell you a 15k course.. ??? 

You can't predict how political winds blow over the long term IMO. 

It rewards creative ones:offers that address timing,offers that solve payment stress,offers that restructure debt,offers that give sellers a way out without blowing up their finances or pride.In slow markets, most buyers wait.The ones who win step forward.If you’re an investor or buyer sitting on capital, this is not the moment to be passive.

One thing I see new agents mess up - they blow money on marketing before they can even handle leads properly.

A running toilet can create a HUGE bill very quickly and you don't want to get into a fight with a tenant or put them in a situation that they can't pay it and it blows up their lease.  

Yeah the phasing approach is smart - too many blow their budget on amenities before knowing if people even want to camp there.
