Flipping profits just hit 23.1%—the lowest since 2008, so waiting for a crash is risky now.

Almost half of flippers now hold units as rentals if prices dip instead of selling low.

Fixing a flip now costs ~$80K on average, up over 50% since 2022, eating your margins fast.

Smart flippers switch to "buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat" to lock cash flow before selling.

Experienced flippers track inventory growth, not rates—21% yearly supply spikes crashed profits before.
