I just didn’t predict potential problems.

4 months before Trump announced Grant Cardone said on BP SHOW 107 "get 1/2 the country to hate you and you can become president.'

Historical is the absorption rate that has taken place.Forecast is a prediction based on the historical absorption and current/anticipated economic trends.Absorption rate for a year would be calculated  - number of total sales in a year divided by twelve = monthly absorption rate in prior year (average for the year).Current months of housing supply is calculated - number of active listings divided by the monthly absorption rate - total number of months the current supply should lastSo, 120 sales in the prior year gives you a monthly absorption rate of 10 (120/12).30 active listings would give you a three month supply (30/10).A three month supply in most markets would be considered the borderline of balanced and shortage.

My answer to this topic is always "it depends" Some investors are looking for a predictable, passive income.

In a city predicted to grow.Marketing Plan:MLS, bigger pockets, call as many turnkey providers/investment real estate agents as possible. 

I have read on the internet and from few other people that it is not the right time to purchase a property as there is a prediction going around about market crash.

Hey guys, i just want to know your predictions on the next market crash.

What happens if/when the predicted returns are different when they happen? 

@Howard C I doubt the short sale price will be anything close to what you predicted.

When I was in Law School I don't think I could have predicted tax liens would be my sole area of practice, but its good when your hobby is also your occupation I think.
