The idea of a real estate bubble has been debated for the past two years in these market areas.

But then I started debating what on earth one would do with that kind of money if things worked out?

Lets debate without calling one another names and being nasty, please.Thank you.

Just debating if I should leave that $50k I already put down into the deal or take it out.

I am not trying to debate you, or stir you in one direction or the other.

Its a standard birddog contract that you would have someone sign so that they can't go around you on a deal.There is quite a bit of debate about this whole topic, but my personal understanding is that birddogging actually violates most state's real estate licensing laws.

The overall gist of what I was reading seemed to point to the concept that patience is key and that even small sums of money lead to very large profits after many years when properly invested.I'm debating whether I should study Real Estate Investment or the stocks.

:wink: Thanks for your response.JamesJames thanks for the reply it was not taken personal but i just wanted to mention the full information that was left out in the pieces mention here and i did not take it offensively either nor to start a headed debate but in all fairness i need to clear a couple of things thats all.I am too an investor and own about a couple of complexes totalling 47 units and growing.

I've been debating this with my family for a week or so now.

I have a feeling that most investors in the Puget Sound are more optimistic about appreciation than those in the midwest and the south.I would love to hear from experienced investors in the Puget Sound area on the cash flow debate.
