As a result me and a few of my industry buddies started this site http://tanklessheaterguide.com/ to help out other consumers and property investors.

Of all of the podcasts I listen to (mostly about multi-family investing) and people I talk to, I've only heard one person say that they aren't buying right now, intentionally.Now clearly, a 'deal' is something that cash flows or will make profit from day one.I'm not saying skip over a true DEAL.What I'm asking though, is if there are experienced investors who've been through more than one full market cycle, that have periods of not buying ANYTHING, even if there 'are deals out there'?

Do not spend a lot of time on price per square foot, that's more for consumers than professionals.But, to answer your question directly...

This means that fewer people will own cars, and that more people will be ride sharing or using cars to get from point A to point B.What does that mean for your consumer?

Dodd-Frank applies to consumers. 

A flip can be expensive and time consuming.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback and advice from those who have invested in properties outside their own state.  I live in WA and am looking at MI, IL, KY and FL.  Looking for MFR properties that cashflow well,...

But the boot idea...that seems more logical and less time consuming for everyone.

I'm not familiar with someone filing bankruptcy due to identity theft, however was there a Consumer Statement on her credit report that detailed the identify theft issue?  

If the pieces come together, I contact the administrator to see if the estate wants to sell the house.The process is more time-consuming than blanket marketing, but it produces more targeted leads.
