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.

If you can get something that cash flows now, even taking into account putting an amount back for major repairs down the line, then you can take your time waiting for the market to rebound and pick the best time without being under pressure from a negative cash flow situation.

If I have the story correct, this uncle (who I never met, he passed before I was born) sold many of his properties and land to high-end businesses in downtown Seattle when the economy started to rebound.

Just wanted to provide some weekly data for the Houston Area straight from the Houston Association of Realtors:NEW LISTINGS:"After rebounding last week, new listings slowed again during Week 38.

well you can find about 50 of them on turnkey reviews.. then vette them.. inventory is getting harder to find in most areas.. markets have rebounded.. and the expectation of massive cash flow is not what it was when everyone was buying in 2011.. and thinking that is the norm or how it will always be.I funded a bunch of turn keys for instance in Orlando in excess of 200 of them.Not only Is the big real estate wholesaling firm NO more.. but the turn key operator is now building new construction and doing commercial.. no need to sell to investors when homeowners will buy them and they can make 30k a door and not get accused of making too much money LOL...

NV wasn't the worse in year of rebound.

I have been in down markets before as an agent, loan officer and investor in the Atlanta area. Each time you could always tell when the market was on it's way back by the # of 1st time homebuyers/lower income families...

I’m hoping Nov-Apr rebounds.

I'm new to BP as well, not a pro member as of yet, (learned some weird life lessons this year, financially) : (  however, I'm determined to rebound and hopefully go pro by the new year : )I'm mostly interested in the networking aspect as of right now, and was wondering if you could please explain more about the  neighborhood association networking website you found.

I was wanting to sell my house but was tired of waiting on the market to rebound in my area so I decided to lease it instead.
