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.

Been a landlord and investor in Florida for over 25 years now, and here’s what blows my mind — I’ve never once had an insurance claim come anywhere close to the “full replacement value” I’m supposedly paying for.
We’...

Ideally, I’m targeting either a small multifamily (2–4 units) or a single-family home with a separate apartment/in-law suite that I could live in.

I've been investing in RE for 6 years part time and have very recently left my six figure career to pursue this full time with a wife and kids at home so I'm all in.

One unit that I’m living in is already renovated as a mini split new floors all that.Hi, I’m looking for ways to increase the value of my four family without displacing tenants to do renovations.

Personally I love what you are capable of doing I am just not very good at it so I outsource to individuals likes yourself with right set of skills.What type of investing are you most interested in? 

This is my fourth house purchase, but the previous ones I renovated to live in.

Quote from @Leslie Stouffer: I am looking at a second house in the market where I have my first STR (Charlottesville, VA), but this one has been demoed, but still needs all the insides put back in.  

After visiting the area, it felt pretty rough in parts, lots of streets look run down, though there are a few renovated homes mixed in.

The best way to break in is usually through local investor meetups, REIAs, and BiggerPockets events; that’s where most property managers and active investors actually source new vendors.
