There are signs of rebound and investors see favorable price points to move in.Either way the window will be narrow and with high risk

It seems like 2013-2014 rebounded too quickly, small correction, and now is gradually getting back to those levels maybe this summer.

I'm trying to understand when the proper time might be to throw in the towel and jump into a short sale.We purchased for 450k in 2006 at market peak, lived in the house until 2011, and then rented it out for $1400.00 which is the going rate for the el paso/cruces area hoping the housing and rental market would rebound.

This group seems to have very little motivation to sell at a discount because they bought super low, put in work recently, are cash flowing very nicely and want a higher pay off on their time/money invested.I think anyone who bought before the crash, had to sit and watch their equity drop and is now watching it rebound will be much more motivated to sell at a discount to get out while they're even or ahead.

Just pay the cards off as quickly as possible and remember it takes time for your score to rebound. 

The Big question in my mind is will this be another big "R" as in Recession or a Big "D" Essentially by becoming liquid, renting for a while, being patient and buying on the Market DIP you are able to again RIDE the wave up when the market rebounds which it will in the SF Bay area again in the next UP cycle. 

You are going to see a trickle down effect of people downsizing.. the hope and goal is that the market rebounds before there is no where to go.

Considering the Cleveland market has been rebounding at a considerable pace, much of the country is also trending upward, in some cases and in certain areas of the country on the west coast as well as the east coast we are seeing pricing exceed market crash levels.

Having lived through a few real estate market crashes, I have found that the commercial properties tend to rebound slower than the residential ones. 

He has so much experience do such a variety of things, that discussing his view from a lender perspective, as well as how he rebounded from the recent crash would be a must listen.
