In reality unless we move the federal government, there will always be people looking for places to rent/buy.

With raising interest rates i personally believe that Cap rates will soften - well I hope so.In saying that, in some areas that will continue to experience growth, the lower ca-prates could be the new reality "base line" for that market.

On the books it is 1100 sf, 3 br, but in reality it is 1700 sf with a downstairs granny unit.

I have seen people just lie and tell an elderly person there house is only worth x when in reality we all know it's worth much more than that but they need to make a deal.....Perhaps I am losing out on deals but I only have whole saled properties that were bank owned and purchased by me already. 

The reality is that house flipping is much more lucrative and profitable for me, but I still like listing houses for sellers.

People today that say they just want to rent are ignoring the opportunity cost of not taking advantage of these realities. 

If there is anything i learned right of the back, is definitely check your expectations vs reality.

In reality, it usually averages 4-6 weeks when it is all said and done.

In reality you have told me what your max was.

It may just be that I have to recalibrate to reality, and not the other way around.
