I'm a Realtor, but sometimes my advice is: don't buy the property.
If buying leaves you with almost no emergency reserves, the numbers don't work without aggressive assumptions, you're depending on maximum leverage, or you're buying because everyone else seems to be buying—it may be worth reconsidering.
Missing one deal isn't necessarily a mistake.
A bad investment can tie up your capital and limit your ability to take advantage of a much better opportunity later.
Sometimes building wealth isn't about knowing when to buy. It's knowing when to walk away.
