Did you know September is one of the BEST months to invest in real estate? 🍂 — Did you know **September is one of the BEST months to invest in real estate**? 🍂

Here’s why: Many first-time homebuyers pause their search once school starts, which means less competition for savvy investors ready to scoop up great deals.

💰 Flip Example – 1-Family Long Island Property

Let’s break down the numbers on a potential investment:

🏡 Purchase Price: $400,000
🧾 Closing Fees (Buy): $25,000
🔨 Repairs: $50,000➡️ Total Investment: $475,000
💵 After-Repair Value (ARV): $599,000
🧾 Closing Fees (Sell): $25,000➡️ Net Resale: $575,000

📈 Profit: $100,000

👉 Rule of Thumb: Smart investors aim for at least $60K profit per flip—this deal clears that benchmark and then some! ✅

Why Act Now?

Real estate opportunities don’t wait. With lower buyer competition in September, investors gain more negotiating power and a better shot at high-return properties.
