It may sound obvious to some seasoned vets but in a market in constant flux, strategies and thought processes can become stale and force you to adapt.

I also like that you’re willing to adapt your strategy, that’s important and very smart!

I am focused, motivated, and highly adaptable, and believe I could be of great assistance to someone who is looking for the help.

It would be great (obviously a very selfish outlook) if it did since I’m young and could take advantage of it, but I think people are missing key economic factors that show that our market has adapted significantly since the last crash.

Don’t adapt the “if I can’t will I’ll tell on you” attitude.

@CameronTope thank you for your insight, I understand the road to success is a slippery slope, but I'm confident in my ability to adapt, learn  and overcome.

Always have to adapt to the changing environment. 

It costs money and would need to be adapted.

Hopefully this isn't an oversimplification, not withstanding the caveats you mentioned, but because my current house was already paid for by me (only a few years of renters helping to pay the mortgage), it would make more sense to purchase a new property as an investment, where the tenants are essentially paying for the equity in the home....I see what you mean now for CoC not being the best metric...do you know where i can find a spreadsheet (a starting point) that I can adapt for my market to help me with the analysis.

I'm sure it will change again, and that's not a bad thing considering the economy, demographics, needs and desires of our population are constantly evolving as well and we need to always adapt to the shifting landscape.
