For purchasing a single family house, stick to your buying criteria and the types of properties that you are comfortable with. Always leave plenty of room as a buffer in the budget and have a few exit strategies planned out. For rentals as long as you have a good cash flow, it should always make sense no matter what and there are always people looking to rent.

Honestly, what are your goals? At the end of the day, it takes about the same amount of work to flip as it is to rent... so really what is your end game? You have to weigh the options to make sure the line up with your goals. Are you working on a rental or a flip, let me know how it is going post about it below 👇🏼

Let's look at the first time home buyer type of house, it's really simple supply and demand - there just isn't enough supply of the first time home buyer houses.
