But with values continuing to plummet I am unwilling to buy at the 65-70% level that use to be feasible - factor in eviction, fixup and marketing time and there is zero margin at that level.

IE dealing with inspections.. you leave it to people with no intermediary and transactions volume will plummet..  

It's now somewhat more diversified with the largest medical center in the country, several universities, a huge variety of retail outlets and restaurants, the dwindling space center, tons of construction, etc.Still, folks are getting nervous as oil prices plummet and companies begin the inevitable rounds of layoffs (yes, it's already happening).

., no one is pointing out the macro conditions- Housing demand on all levels is plummeting (buying and renting).

they're going plummet any day now!'
