He said that the stock market recent upward trends during near economic collapse is basically an artificial construct that is screaming sell now.

It's not a proxy for intelligence. 

The market here is very hot and good homes move quickly but there is still room for people willing to act fast and intelligently. 

The management and dashboard are excellent but anyone else other than management has had the intelligence of a Neanderthal (and we're not talking Planet of the Apes here).I hope this helps,Jesse

These aren't powerful or overly intelligent people, they're people who have nothing better to do with their time than dictate to their neighbors. 

Low interest rates and low inventory i believe is creating artificially high prices. 

IF they inject the economy with more money yet again, isn’t that going to impact inflation rates and create an artificial bubble?

That would help the retail market from taking as much of a dive, but the foreclosure auctions will still likely have more deals than cash bidders, driving down the prices.The low interest rates are tempting many to refinance but if the market drops from a flood of inventory, you could end up owing more than the property is worth, for the time being, since the high prices are sort of artificial from the low interest rates.

I am new but I am looking for someone who is not going to be a problem most of the time. ... college students, families, singles, etcHi Mark,It depends on your property class and location.Turnover is a big expense, so trying to limit that is intelligent.You want a renter(s) who you think will be long term renters and can pay the rent long term (and not damage the property).Many people use a mix of credit scores, criminal record information, employment history, and past landlord referrals to try to limit their risk in this area.It's also something that the US Government has a say in as far as what is considered housing discrimination, and it's intelligent to follow their guidelines as well.Just my 2 cents. 

The first book I ever read on investing was The Intelligent Investor (written by Warren Buffett's mentor) and there is very strong admonishment against IPO investing, if memory serves.
