You have to take the deals where and when they come, or you may find yourself on the sidelines indefinitely.

I currently have several hundred thousand on the sidelines that I am looking to deploy at some point in some form of real estate but not sure the best avenue.

Anybody think staying on the sideline is better in this environment? 

Unless you have a property in mind, your cash maybe sitting on the sideline until you find something worth investing in. 

Just thought I’d let everyone know I jumped off the sidelines and got in the game!

Price gains are leaving buyers on the sidelines as they are blocked by affordability and limited supply as new listings for the month down 6.67% from last June, chocking supply and forcing prices up as more buyers are competing over limited stock.

As a buyer, when I see this, I'm apt to wait on the sidelines until sellers are more realistic.

I've considered selling, but without line of sight to at least a couple strong deals I would risk sitting on the sideline and getting hit with a big capital gain. 

I didn't ask around enough and instead sat on the sidelines.

Short of completely sitting on the sidelines and waiting for 2008 to come again, I'd rather pay a 4.8% Cap in a growth market that is a tech/banking/healthcare hub than pay an 8% cap in most other places.
