@Jeremy Pace All your advice is spot on and I agree with you.

Howdy,I'm trying to run comps faster than my typical pace of 1 comp per 5 minutes.

While rising at a more slower steady pace.

@Jeremy Pace I wasn't talking to you!

I still have many more questions but I will pace myself.

Also using a partner who wants to match your portion in turning units at a faster pace to fill units. 

You have a sense that things will progress at a steady pace. 

It was getting crazy in 06 (bought a principal res this year...bad idea)/07/08, died down significantly in 09 (when I ended up buying a rental condo), and then picked up the pace again.Condo-wise, buying in 06/07-ish and after commissions, I'm seeing alot of barely break evens (case in point, my own principal residence that I sold before moving - that said, I paid less on PIT than renting an equivalent). 

If lending could keep pace with the demand, you'd see home prices launch into interstellar space.Still, if they're bailing out, buy what ever they will sell you at the lowest price you can get.Tight-fisted lending will continue to support the rental market for the reasonably foreseeable future, IMHO.

@Patrick H.I do my own but have met with Jill Sport in Pace, FL for some advice in the past.
