I read about Barbara Corcoran and Trump grew from nothing.

What do you think about the future of Section 8 under Trump and Carson?

Not only nationwide but statewide and with the City of Dallas.At the national level, I am afraid of what Trump will do. 

He mentioned that Trump is going to do away with capital gains...?

My understanding is a tax deed / lien trumps all mortgages and liens except state and federal. 

Job loss   ( unemployment is only 5% ) and if Trump gets his way it will go lower4. burnt out landlord syndrome  ( land lords are somewhat smarter these days IE not buying in the hoods like they were )  although some of this still goes on and always will.So Tim were do you predict the next inventory produced by a shake out will come from. ?

At the end of the day they only care about skin in the game and experience, with experience trumping.

If you aren't Donald Trump, don't pretend to be.

Regardless of what some states think, federal law trumps state law including state fair housing laws.

If you were not dependent on a refi within a year I would say you would be fine to proceed because values will bounce back and your rental rates should stay stable unless you're buying in a tourism hotspot but there is definitely some uncertainty about the pricing of small multis due to investor jitters, layoffs and the lending environment - if there's no competition for small multi- familys you won't sustain the price you need for the refi.This might be where your overall goal of increasing your wealth trumps your annual goal of a 4plex this year - equally it is only March so there's time yet...Hope this helps.
