Time to Hit the Sideline??
Is it time for Investors to head toward the Sideline or Continue Buying?

If you have a long-term perspective in real estate, I would dollar-cost average and continue to buy. If you were buying in the last 2 years, you were paying increasingly higher prices so buying today would be a better play overall. It's not about being on the sidelines, but instead it is about finding a motivated seller, negotiating a solid price, and structuring the financing so it remains accretive to the overall investment.
I'm curious, @LaMancha Sims, are you on the sidelines or still buying? And why?
