I plan on absorbing as much knowledge possible in the next year in real estate before I jump right into it.

I do not think it will, there are so many homes on the market that need to be absorbed first.

It will take some time, though, to absorb the empty units.

This is not a repair or a capital expense that will be absorbed in the 50% expense number, except over the EXTREME long term.

I have read a few of his posts and I am trying to absorb as much as I can.Pam

The expanding growth of the businesses you mentioned is promising but I would still like to see the valley absorb more of the existing inventory and keep demand strong vs dilute demand with an over abundance of new properties.

There was to much information for me to absorb, so i had to figure out a way to pass on my first try, because i just could not do it again.

@Jon Gable Thanks for reaching out, lots of stuff to absorb being a fellow newbie.

There is so much information here to try to absorb.

What I do have is a strong desire and drive to learn, absorb, and grow so that I may become a successful investor.The reason I say I am kind of from New York is because while I may live in NY, I am not necessarily looking at the NY market only.
