@Matthew DrouinYa I’m Definetly not expecting a soft landing.

Can I expect more development / gentrification to occur in this area?

He started the work in June with an expected completion by the end of July.

Lower interest rates, however, are expected to keep debt issuance attractive, while a rise in REIT stock prices could boost equity offerings.

In which area, this is what you would expect to rent for ($1,600).

The buyer actually bid $5K above my sale price and my agent made it sound like she let them know that if it didn't appraise they would need to make up the difference, but it was clear she did not set that expectation because they came back to negotiate it.

Both of my houses cash flow close to $2000 per month after all expenses when fully occupied, however you do get some of the occasional chaos you would expect from such a venture. 

It’s a great moment to explore what's out there, weigh options, and go for the best fit.For sellers, a slower pace might mean adjusting expectations, but the demand remains steady.

So I guess overall, my question is can you help me align my expectations with what I am finding, is this a case of "yeah, the market is weird right now, this is typical, you have to make a decision" or...
