Maybe someday a check will arrive.  

My wind up plunking down two mortgage application fees.When we were ready to resume our acquisitions, it was in the middle of a real estate crash.

Hoping that the brain power of the masses can assist in providing me with some clarity.We have been going through the process of doing a short sale on a ski condo in Colorado and arrived all the way to the closing table to discover that the HOA had not accepted the short payment that the seller's agent had indicated and as such was demanding that the short sale be re-approved with the HOA getting more of what they are due or else they will continue with the foreclosure process. 

IE  when it the market going to crash is it next week next month or next year..  

I'm currently doing the same, educating myself while waiting on the arrival of my second son.

I am willing to do whatever it takes when I arrive to my apartment in Orlando and want to hit the ground running - hard.

As with any financial decision, there are many factors to consider to confidently arrive at a decision.

I don't know much about the Atlanta market, I know that things had gone down a lot during the housing crash, but it seems like things have gone back up a lot.

Yes, real estate requires new buyers, but they get value from the purchase by either living in the property or renting it for profit.Leading up to the crash of 2008, there was speculative buying, where there were no tenants.

BP is basically a crash course masters class.
