Everything that 100+ doors rebounded in prices a few years ago. 

The piece of mind of seeing a check instead of managing money and "risking" things.Even if put that $1,000,000 in the market in September 2007, the market rebounded so I don't think that is a good argument based on historic market trends.

She and her new husband had the cash to pay off the small $32K mortgage, the condo rebounded to its $125K which they now own it mortgage free.I felt good that I was in the financial position to do it for her, and at the right time, and she was able to enjoy financial freedom and stability.

I don't know if I can provide advice that tops anything that those with deep real estate investment experience in the area might be able to provide, but I've been an interested observer of the Bay Area housing market since the tech economy began rebounding in the early aughts.My take is that property value within San Francisco itself will continue to teeter at an elevated rate for the foreseeable future (this is somewhat of a given considering how small the city itself is, and how fierce the demand for property remains).

I really like what I see In Vegas as well its rebounding.. and with SALT I think the over flow from CA and OR will be real..

@Joseph Reidy  Also, just want to comment that anyone who rebounds like you have from what appears to be a serious head injury just a short time ago isn't just an "average joe" in my book !

Both markets crashed from 2007- 2009 and real estate continued to drop while the stock market rebounded and started to rise for 5 years, so it is wise to have both assets in your portfolio.Hope this information helps you.

They really just need to be torn down or fixed up by investors.I see a lot of potential for a rebound and a possible revitalization of the downtown area.

The U.S. economy is expected to start bouncing back in Q3 and continue its rebound all the way into the following year, 2021.

My philosophy has been to hold for the last 9 years until the market rebounded which it has.
