The reason for this is that there are many ways to achieve success in Real Estate: not 'one' path is necessarily the "best" path... it all depends on your time horizon and your risk tolerance.  

If you have a longer time horizon, you'll be fine even if prices do dip a little over the next year or so. 

No, instead across the board they bound our hands for an undetermined time, one still not known or on the horizon anywhere.

Real Estate is a great leveraged investment with low interest and the lurking "INFLATION" on the horizon.   

It being the state capital and home to a major university help, too.1) as long as your investment horizon is medium to long term, yes, it is.

Round two of relief is on the horizon.

We are life long El Pasoans and currently live in Horizon City. 

Up until now my partner and I just split the profits 50/50.But now with 2 other potential investors on the horizon how do I make it fair for everybody?

And in many cases he's almost a 50-50 partner with you.Contrast that with the longer term horizon of rental investing.
