The 3 types of investors in this market

[Joseph Gozlan]

Yet another month with declining home sales (9th in a row).

While home buyers are definitely hurting, we continue to see 3 kinds of investors:

1) The optimist - they keep buying, haven’t changed a strategy, take increasingly higher risk with every purchase.

2) The doomsday believers - hoarding cash, stopped all buying, trying to “time the market”.

3) The adaptive investors - coming up with new strategies, hedging their bets, shifting asset classes, doing less deals but cherry pick the best ones. Positioning for the kill when the time is right.

What’s type of investor are you?

Hey Joseph, great to see you on the forum.  #3 for me.  I am building a hybrid apartment/hotel that has short, medium, and long term stays with pool, gym, laundry, outdoor kitchen, and courtyard on site...in a great location.

There is a lot of talk on the forums with very little real life transactions being discussed.  Most of the talk is either (1) disguised advertisements to drum up business or capital where the investor is spending someone else's money or (2) desktop research and endless chatter about "the market" with no actual investing discussion.
