Hi Colton,I live in Santa Cruz and own a property and "study" the market daily. 

If it needs repairs or rehab you might be able to hire a project manager and communicate with them over the phone daily. 

And there are new people coming on here daily and so I advertise for their sake, but I'm sure I make other people on here sick to see another "Ad" from me. 

A strong agent will prospect daily for buyers for a property.

An agent can set you up to get a daily MLS feed so you can look at deals as they come onto the market.

Apologies for my long-winded two-cents, but this is a question I encounter on an almost daily basis.I do have to disagree with the idea of waiting for prices to go down to buy, or the general notion that prices will correct to such a degree that market values will significantly drop.

If you buy a minimum of about 30 apartment units you can afford a Property Management Company and save your self the daily operations and maintenance which s typically what you want with a W-2 job. 

Duplexes are even more hot, expensive and hard to get.I had been watching the MLS daily lately and I realized I can’t get anything near the price range I mentioned to him if I want to do 1031 Exchange.

Hello developers/technology enthusiasts,and mortgage lenders:I am looking for a free API for mortgage rates, either updated weekly or daily. 

Here are my strategies to make my properties hardier for a recession hit:1) Using cash flow, pay of all short term debt, from friends and family and some credit cards. 2) Make sure all the deposits collected from tenants is in a separate accounts and is not touched by daily operations.
