I think it's more likely to occur regionally based on localized conditions. For example, a large company in my city announced layoffs. I am sure that is going to slow casual purchases. People will likely be more willing to wait for lower prices. I know I will.

Hi. I live in Michigan.

I have attended many trainings and courses; and belonged to a real estate investing club in Orlando when I lived there.

I have never taken action on any of it. I am not a handyman and my wife is not supportive of investing our retirement funds.

I am interested in other ways to earn income real estate without actually owning it outright. I don't want to paint it, repair it, collect from those not paying rent, etc.

Two that come to mind are becoming an agent and investing in REITS, which I have done.

Am I missing other options?

I think the local market conditions are a consideration for the timing to buy your first home. Definitely try not to over buy or buy the most expensive house in the least expensive neighborhood. Take your time. The two times I was patient yielded me much more money than my impatience cost me the third time. LOL.

I would go but not attend the reception. The gift also sounds appropriate.
