We are exploring some options currently and I wanted to put this out there to see if any of you have any insight.We are interested in trading houses with someone who's house is probably similar in appraised value.

I am a financial advisor by trade, so I have a decent amount of real estate knowledge, due to the nature of my career.

Will be the vendor night trade show so a great opportunity to meet live and face to face with many different vendor, investor, experts and more.

BUY BUY BUY - Right now we are paying 60% more than I have seen buildings trade for just 5 years ago. 

I see properties trading in the sub 4% cap range in the 5 boroughs. 

I can't imagine a more frustrating and dangerous scenario than to try to invest in an unfamiliar area that meets your financial proformas but where you don't know anybody, have access to on and off market opportunities, have relationships with trades people and property managers. 

I want a specialist that's an expert, and not a jack of all trades and master of none.

So got some time left Seems right - on track for 2020 to 2022 recession, depending on macro (jobs, tariffs, trade wars, wars, winning etc) and local conditions (RE is local - so oversupply, quality of housing stock, employment type and  opportunities in high tech etc)

Remember, mortgages, notes and contracts are the tools of the 'silent partner' trade. 

I’m sure everyone here knows about the trade tensions with China and other countries.
