The media hype is really funny now.

There's way too much hype and bs in this business when you first start out and it's hard to determine what does and doesn't work.Wishing you all the best,Robert

One last question: do you think the hype about real estate will die down again?

(We looked extensively in Colorado as well)Deals are out there, but this one took us almost 6 months to find.Know your area(s), know your limits.We'll be trying for 4 this year, but as it is, not sure if the uber hype will last, or for how long.I appreciate all that I have gained from BP, and helped keep the encouragement going as it has been very tiresome looking at several hundred or even several thousand deals so far this last year.SO thank you all,Steve and Peg

Hype may increase the prices in the near future, but it may not.

And Eastie is dangerous...so much hype there, its easy to overpay 

At worst you will get a property that's overpriced, over hyped as far as the true rent, and that has been given a cosmetic rehab that will result in never ending maintenance. 

As for GoZone . . . there is some of the best deals and some of the biggest hype.

.- Crowd Hype - "This offer will only last for a few more minutes" - ever heard that one?

Unless you are buying really large properties I think most of the news and hype is probably too broad of an information band to be useful.
