Is the real estate market just too good to be true right now?

[Jeph Cangé]

Let me start off by saying that I am extremely new to all of this. I just had lunch with a couple of very successful investors so I can ask questions blah blah blah , basic REI 101 suff. I left feeling a little discouraged after them telling me that the market has about 6 months to a year window before it crashes again and it's probably not a good time to invest. "real estate market is good, way too good, too good to be true...". Thoughts anyone?
