Fingers crossed for growth there.

I've already learned a ton from the agent course, fingers crossed I pass that test on the first run :) 

The other way is to make sure you have good cash-flowing properties with enough equity in them to be able to weather the storm.Or a combination of the two strategies above, which is what I plan on doing.Keep in mind: the average investor who is now all-out 'in it', sinking everything they have into chasing this market will be the first ones to cut, run and cry about how real estate sucks when the market turns and they get their fingers burned.To me, it's better to take some profit when you can, even if by staying in you could have gotten more, rather than staying until too late and losing everything you think you 'made.'

Now I'm holding my fingers crossed.Going to call a mortgage broker back as well, who seemed very honest, and see what she can put together from the market.

Fingers crossed FAA OKs 737 max this year. 

They end up actually raising the prices of existing non-regulated apartments and properties, and have a very chilling effect on investor activity in the subject area.Of course, there are cases where some regulation is required for those nasty slum-lord types to prevent kicking out someone in the middle of winter into the deep, freshly-fallen snow, or if they won't fix the hot water for weeks at a time.But, IMO, the more government gets their sticky fingers involved in a legitimate business, the worse they make the situation; it is almost never improved.  

So my guess is that Buyers end up rolling the dice: they simply do the deal and cross their fingers it will all work out. 

Fingers crossed for you...

I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it’s smooth sailing through closing!

My neighbours sold their house 6 years ago, new ones have an unlicensed daycare... probably 20 times I’ve had my dogs in the backyard (they’re inside dogs mainly) and had to go get them because kids are sticking their fingers through the fence etc.
