A small correction will happen in 2018 or 2019 but the market will chug along just fine after that again for a few years, as that correction will be based on a mild recession only, not a balance of supply and demand.

If a correction doesn't come, or is mild, I'll be in a much, much stronger position. 

Investor's just need mild doses of prudence, consistency and emotional management (all of which I need help on… lol) to get ahead.

I do have another tenant with a boxer and that dog is a bigger problem than the mild-as-milquetoast pit bull.In closing, you wrote down your problems and posted them here, intentionally exposing yourself to criticism.

Mild short lived recession no big housing issues.

there's no contradiction there.if Invitation Homes buys a SFH from a homeowner and turns it into a rental - now it's a rental.PS - have really enjoyed your posts in the insane 'housing crash' thread that is going.I put it this way since the question is interesting for me too: It seems those flippers are the one that's selling in rush in the last 6 months,they created the volatility.Truth is we don't really know the actual power of the 'owner-occupant' buyer because the flippers change the market so much so fast.We are now in the market that there's more sellers than buyers, and active inventory increasing by 4% every month, still mild.
