When I posted this I was trying to get ahead of the looming issue.

However, given the recent dip in the market and the looming IPOs that are set for 2019 and will inject billions into the Bay Area housing market, I see this as an opportunity.

With a potential recession looming and perhaps may affect real estate, I wonder what fellow investors’ thoughts on what’s considered over leverage?

The biggest two regrets I have in the last eight years of investing is not buying more or when people told me to hold off due to a looming market crash, and selling properties when I should have really kept them. 

Hi.I had this with a few tenants as well.What i would suggest to make things more personal is possibly doing a video using Youtube, Loom, Vimeo etc to go through the property, neighborhood and the process to move forward.This will have the potential tenant feel "warmer" and also have it seem like you gave them something (more detailed info) so that they will feel some reciprocity and send it all back to you.The problem seems to be that the data you are providing in the listing doesnt answer enough questions or create enough of an emotional pull for them to make a decision.Just my two cents hope it helps

No massive Fannie and Freddie problems (that we know of) looming like back then.

I had all the properties inspected prior to purchase and knew I had some capital improvements looming in the near future. 

The debt looms over them and keeps them from investing.

Im actually just getting in and looming to make my first deal!
