@Ken Lagana I firmly believe its always a good time to buy RE. Your strategy has to change with the market. A good deal is a good deal regardless the market conditions. You have to weigh the upside and downside and compare that with your short term and long term goals. I buy 2-3 properties a month now in a sellers market and do well and I am waiting for the bust to hit us with hopeful expectations and poised to strike.
